CUPCAKES, KISSES... & GIRLS CAN'T CATCH!!!
My brand new mini book, Cupcakes & Kisses, is out NOW, free, in MIZZ magazine... grab yourself a copy and don’t miss out! Tell your friends, too, because that issue is only on sale for two weeks! Cupcakes & Kisses has a brand new short story, the lowdown on boys, some sweet treat ideas and lots of ideas for how YOU can celebrate National Best Friends Day on July 4th.
And speaking of National Best Friends Day, if you are in or near London – or if you fancy a trip to the big city – come along to Waterstone’s in Piccadilly and join in the amazing NBFD fun! Fab, new, up & coming girl-band GIRLS CAN’T CATCH will be popping in to join in the fun, and of course, I’ll be signing books from 1.00pm.
There will also be lots of Friendship Festival fun, lots of sweet treats, some ‘Random Acts Of Kindness’ goodies AND a chance to sign up to my fab Friendship Charter!
Not in London? Don’t worry! Every Waterstone’s store on mainland Britain is taking part in the NBFD fun, so see what is happening at your local one on July 4th… you might be lucky enough to walk away with a ‘Random Act of Kindness’ treat! And I can’t wait to see what you have planned for your own NBFD celebrations… wherever you may live! Get planning, and don’t forget to send me some pics!
I am just about to set off on my UK tour, and I will be doing public events/ signings at Waterstone’s Bluewater, Kent; Waterstone’s, Bristol; Borders, Cambridge; Guildhall, Winchester; Waterstone’s, Piccadilly; Huddersfield Children’s Bookshop; Huddersfield Lindley Library; Waterstone’s Blackpool; Borders, Preston; & Waterstones, Liverpool One. See the EVENTS page for more details… and see you there!

Hey Cathy, really pleased new book’s coming out. I am taking Georgina and Taslimah, two of my five BFFs to the movies to see ‘My sister’s keeper’ on NBFD and then Georgina is stopping overe at my house until 5th July. I am recently so glad I have so many BFs because my crush treat me like durt today when he found out I like him and all of my around 35 friends were there for me. So, for this reason, I am a strong believer in NBFD . Thanks for writing fab books for us all the time Cathy, bye bye,xxx

I’m hosting a NBFD party at my local bookshop ‘Box of Frogs’ in Wigtown. They have given me a corner of the shop and put up posters and bunting. There’s an article too in the local newspaper and we’ve sent leaflets to all the local schools. I will give out the freebies you sent me on the day and will take lots of photos to show you. Hope everyone has a great NBFD , wherever you are. Zoe
