CHINA TOUR!

Hey… I am just off on a fab overseas tour to Beijing in China… how cool? I can’t wait to meet my readers in Beijing… and do a little exploring, too!
I have just finished writing Cherry Crush, phew… so I can really relax and enjoy my tour now! Cherry Crush is the first in a brand new series for readers aged 9-14… it will be out in September and I think you’re going to LOVE it!
There’s lots more news and info coming your way VERY soon, but meanwhile I thought I’d ask what’s the most amazing place YOU’VE ever visited… and why?
See you soon!
