Haydn Crespan

Haydn Sean Crespan was born on New Years Day, 1990 in the small Queenland town of Mount Isa, later moving to Townsville, where he grew up. Born with Asperger’s Syndrome, saw Haydn face many challenges and when it all got too much, he became overwhelmed, and would escape into a world of his making. A world where he could feel in control and make the rules. It was no surprise that his favourite subject at school of course was creative writing and it was during a class in Year 5, that he first came up with the character of Triz…a small gliding lizard that would unbeknownst to him at the time, eventually star in his own series.

The first book in the The Adventures of Triz series, The Babysitter was published by Boolarong Press in May of 2021 and the second book, Triz Destroys the Sun was released in October of 2023. It must be noted that both books were illustrated by his talented brother Damien, who he currently resides with in Brisbane.

When Haydn is not busy writing and planning the next book, he can be found around the city, with Damien, doing book signings and School Presentations.
