Meredith Costain rocked through the eighties playing piano and synth in blues and covers bands in grungy inner-city pubs, and met some of the industry's finest while working as a door-bitch at infamous rock venues. A heavy-metal-loving housemate introduced her to the finer points of power chords, big hair, and twenty-minute guitar solos. Her talented friends - who include roadies, drummers, bass players and band managers - helped her nail the inside story for Rock Raps. As well as writing, Meredith reviews books, edits children's magazines, and teaches in a professional writing course. She lives in Melbourne, and enjoys eating, sleeping and sixties music. Meredith has published many books for children, including Musical Harriet, Night of the Voodoo Doll, London Blues , and novelisations of Heartbreak High .
