HAPPY NEW YEAR....

Thanks to all of you for the amazing messages of support you sent over the last few weeks… it helped, I promise. 2008 is here at last and I’m hoping for a fresh start and a fab year – for all of us! A brand new book called Ice Cream & Dreams should get things off to the right start… it’s a new Cathy Cassidy mini-book and it’s FREE with Mizz mag (UK only) on February 7th. Ask your newsagent to reserve a copy for you right now…. don’t miss out!

As with last year’s freebie, Love, Peace & Chocolate, once the copies run out they run out, so make sure you reserve a copy while you can – and tell your friends, too! Ice Cream & Dreams has a brand new, exclusive Cat & Mouse mini-story, an extract from my new book Gingersnaps and LOTS more news, info and fun stuff… just what you need to chase away the winter blues.

Also coming in Feb is the long-awaited paperback version of Lucky Star, in a shiny new silver cover… so if you haven’t got your own copy yet, now’s your chance. I can’t decide which version I like best, the hardback or the paperback!

Happy New Year to all of you and thanks again for all your emails, postings and kind thoughts. If anything can get me smiling again, you guys can… promise!
