SUMMER STORIES...
We’ve decided to extend the closing date of our Back-To-School-Blues giveaway to the end of October… so there’s no excuse not to enter!!! Free signed books AND a goody bag too… what’s not to like? 20 people will win a copy of Dizzy & Sundae Girl, plus a fab little goody bag… sounds like the perfect way to brighten up your week! And if you already have all the books, then remember they’d also make excellent pressies for friends!!!
All you have to do is tell us – in 50 words or less – your best summer story, snippet or memory! For more info on how to enter, check out the Back-To-School-Blues comp page... and if your entry is really cool, we might even use it online! Entries must be postal only, and sadly this time the comp is open only to readers in the UK & Eire… but again, all the details are in the COMP section. (I PROMISE there’ll be a giveaway especially for overseas readers next month!!!)
I’m still on the road at the moment, heading for events in Redbridge, London & Bath, and then the fabby Queen of Teen ceremony… woo! And yes, I’m still writing too…

TOURING & WRITING....
That’s summer over… and it’s STILL raining! Grrr! Hope you had a sunnier time than we did in Galloway, and that you are settling back into school… if you have any cool cheer-up tips to liven up the autumn, send them in through the comments link below!!!
I am busy writing my next book, Angel Cake, but also jetting about on various mini tours… I’m just back from beautiful Islay, so hi to all the fab kids I met there! Next I am off to Perth, Dundee, Fife, Aberdeenshire & Stirling, then Redbridge, Bath, Cheltenham & the FABBY Queen of Teen ceremony near London… wooo!!!! Last but not least, I’ll be in Ireland, touring around Tipperary & Cork.
Let me know if you’re going to make it along to any of these events… and don’t forget to pass on your best cheer-up tips, too! It may be raining outside, but we can make our own sunshine, can’t we?!!!

Hi Cathy! This rain is really horrible, can’t it just disappear please?? Anyway I think you should enjoy the rain instead of moping about it, so I’m going to go pick up my umberella and go singing in the rain to cheer myself up! Love Sarah x PS I think your new book sounds really cool :-)
