I somehow missed the news last month that #JohnMarsden is gone. Very sad news. His #TomorrowWhenTheWarBegan and #EllieChronicles novels are such powerful #YA works of #PostApocalyptic and #RuinedEarth fiction. #ScienceFiction #SFF #TomorowSeries

Beautiful tribute. RIP #JohnMarsden

Two of Australia's creative geniuses gone within a few days. Both #JohnMarsden and #Leunig were bold and original thinkers. Both show the power of words to create positive change.

John Marsden, author of Tomorrow, When the War Began, dies aged 74 Marsden’s death was confirmed in a letter from one of two schools he founded saying: ‘He died at his desk in his home, doing what he loved, writing’

One of the authors that as a young teen, cemented my love of reading. The world is a little duller without him.

Many years ago, I found myself in a writing workshop with John Marsden. I think I got the notion that I could write a short story. Anyway, I don't think he was overly impressed with my writing, but he was very kind and supportive, and I appreciated that. #JohnMarsden
