FREEBIE FRENZY!!!!

Phew… thanks to everyone who emailed in as part of the Love, Peace & Chocolate giveaway. I have signed a copy of the mini-book for each of the first 20 readers who sent me their name and address – so, if you’re one of the lucky ones, you should get your copy soon. Lots of readers emailed but DIDN’T include their postal address, which meant I couldn’t send them a book… always read the entry instructions carefully!
The lucky readers were: Emily G, Sarah M, Jade S, Holly C, Fiona W, Aimee B, Emily T, Alicia P, Michaela O, Lia, Danielle A, Yasmin H, Imogan, Rachel, Maisie H, Maxi P, Sarah Mc, Abida A, Kayleigh C, & Rebecca H. Well done!

Email Avalanche!!!!

It’s fab to be getting so much great feedback, but my poor old email account just about burst at the seams… oops! If you emailed between Tuesday afternoon and Friday lunchtime, your email may have been lost forever in the mists of the internet. Can you please re-send anything important? I’ve ironed out the gremlins now and it shouldn’t happen again. Thanks!!!!!

Sundae Girl - the verdict!

Just catching up on an avalanche of your FAB reviews and questions… thanks to everyone who emailed with such great feedback on Sundae Girl and Love, Peace & Chocolate! I’m answering as many as I can, but apologies if you haven’t heard back – some of my replies have bounced back. Here’s what some of you have been saying….

Sundae Girl is the best book i have ever read! On the 31st March (Jude’s Piano exam!) my family and I went to the Trafford Centre. After about 2 hours I finally managed to drag them into WHSmiths. I went straight to the children’s section, and immediately my eyes fell on a sheeny shiny, gold-n-yellow book… Sundae Girl! I grabbed one of the books and bolted to the counter. Sundae Girl is BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have read Sundae Girl and i thought that it was amazing. There were some funny things and some sad things – this is by far the best book that you have written so far. I can now only wait for Lucky Star to come out.

As soon as your new book, Sundae Girl, was out I actually screamed. I saw an advertisement on the back of my favourite magazine, Mizz, so i forgot about buying the magazine and went staright to the book section, saw the last copy, snatched it and read it in a few hours. It was a fab book. I can’t wait until you’re next one!
Zara xx

I loved Sundae Girl! Kevin Carter sounds like the type of guy I’d go for- crazy and cute! Wow, your books scarily resemble bits of my life (and a couple of my wildest daydreams)! I just wanted to say congrats on the new book- it’s great!

Cathy can you please tell me when Sundae Girl and your camper are coming to South Africa?!!!!
simonne, S. Africa

Hi Simonne! Sundae Girl will be out in SA in June, but not sure if the camper van will make it over – that would be soooooo cool! Maybe one day!

I got Mizz mag and read Love, Peace & Chocolate. I thought it was great. Me and my friend hav just had our first boyfriends & we felt we were cool wiv them but really you can never get as close as your best friend!
Sophie

I have never read your books before but got Love, Peace & Chocolate free with Mizz… it was just so real and I loved it, totally. I have had a similar problem myself! Got Sundae Girl on Saturday and loved that too… you’ve got yourself a new fan!
Lyndsey, age 13

I read u minibook Love, Peace and Chocolate and really like the idea of a peace festival. I was wondering whether I would be able to hold one at my school?
Charlotte

Hi Sophie, Lyndsey & Charlotte! Glad you liked the mini book! Yay!! Charlotte, it’d be AMAZING if you organised a Peace Festival at your school – brilliant idea! Talk to your teachers and let me know how you get on!
Love, Peace & Chocolate,

Home Again!!!

My travels are over for now… it’s good to be home at last and catching up on your fab feedback about Sundae Girl and Love, Peace & Chocolate!
The Friendship Festival Tour was brilliant fun… we went from London, Middlesex & Ilford up to Coventry, Nuneaton, Manchester, Northumberland, Linlithgow and Edinburgh, winding up in Dumfries. Check out some of the fab pics on the Past Events section on Cathy’s Camper! Thanks to all the readers I met on my travels… you’re the best!
Emails have flooded in about Sundae Girl and Love, Peace & Chocolate – and the good news is, you’re loving them! Yay! Keep your feedback coming and I’ll post the best online.
I’ve just finished editing Lucky Star, the 6th book, due out in the UK on August 2nd. I thought you might like to see a pic of a sign I came across in the Sri Lankan jungle a few weeks back – cool! With Lucky Star sorted, it’s time to start a new story. Think I’d better get daydreaming….
