FRIENDS FOREVER!!!!

Hey everyone! I’m back from my holiday in the Lakes and ready to get stuck into the new book. It’s a brand new project, and top secret for now – I’ll tell you more soon, I promise!

As well as writing, I have been busy this week judging MY BEST FRIEND ROCKS. There’ve been entries that made me laugh, entries that made me cry, entries so creative and cool I’d like to stick them on my pinboard for inspiration… Well done to all who entered. We’re still judging, but the 100 finalists will be announced in May 1st issue of MIZZ magazine, with letters to confirm this following soon after. I can’t wait to meet those finalists and their friends at THE ULTIMATE FRIENDSHIP FESTIVAL in London on July 6th…

Whether you entered or not, now is a perfect time to tell your friends just how special they are to you. My best friend Sheena has just gone to live overseas, and I’m missing her like crazy… but I know we won’t lose touch, because it’d take more than the Mediterannean Sea to come between us! If you’re reading this Sheena, I love ya… always.

So… what’s the coolest thing a friend has ever done for you? Or the craziest way you’ve shown a mate how much you cared? Let me know… this is your chance to tell your mate online just how much you care!

Kirsti says...

Hey Cathy, I would just like to say I’ve read 2 of your books so far and they’re awesome! I read ‘Indigo Blue’ and Scarlett. They we’re emotional and I liked them. Scarlett reminded me of my dreams and that was really good, I also loved all the tale of how she got expelled at every school and how Kian is a dreamy boy who is a gypsy who’s mother dies. Indigo Blue was sad, and tragic but in the end, it all worked out. The books we’re so good that I read both in 5 hours! Thank you for the great books, Kirsti

ZOE says...

Hey Cathy,

I hope you say YES ! Have a properous future! xoxo Nicole =D

Penny says...

Hi Cathy! I just want to say I have read all of your books and they are AMAZING !! I can’t wait for Ginger Snaps. I’ve read the sneak preview and it sounds seriously good! It says it’ll be out in August, but cos I live on the other side of the world in Australia, I probably won’t get it till three or four months after. I hope you had a good holiday. You’re lucky it snows in the UK. Where I live in Canberra, snow is quite rare. I’ve only had it once in my entire life and I barely remember it. Anyway, good luck on your new book. Whatever it is, I bet it’ll be awesome!
