I’ll be talking about my books, especially Gingersnaps which has just gone into paperback, and also revealing more about Daizy Star and Angel Cake, coming in June and July. I might even give you a hint about a third book I’m writing just now, which will be out in October! I’ll also be signing books and telling everyone a bit more about the first ever National Best Friends Day on July 4th… it’s going to be COOL!!!

OK, details…. the event is at 2.30pm at Purcell Room, Southbank Centre, London, SE1 8XX

Watch out for pics and stories from the Gingersnaps Tour coming soon on the blog… but I’m doing a bunch more tour dates at the end of Feb, and this is just the first of those…

Hope to see you there!!!

hey cathy! i love ginger snaps! it was brilliant! i can’t wait for Angel Cake and Daizy Star and this new mysterious book! these books are coming out around the same time which makes me wonder if like me when you write stories you stop in the middle and start another and come back to the first one and finish it and then continue on. i hope that you come to a book signing or festival in ireland because that would make me soo happy!
