Johanna's writing career got off to a bumpy start when she was so busy composing a story in her head that she accidentally drove into the back of a taxi. It was while driving on a rough stretch of road outside Alice Springs that the beginnings of Too Many Cheeky Dogs took shape. Working with Dion Beasley, an artist with muscular dystrophy and profound deafness, has changed the way Johanna sees the world and tells stories.
