Emma says...

Dear Cathy, If you read your THANKYOU ! page you’ll see I’ve wrote a comment(Tazzy, Gina, etc.) but this page is for Summer stories so here’s my tale,

I spent all the holidays at my little static caravan in Knaresborough. It was a lovely summer. My mother and I went for about 30 trips to York on(You Guessed it!) shopping sprees. We sunbathed when it was sunny and went to see Wildchild and Mamma Mia! when it was rainy. How was YOUR summer Cathy? Lots of luv. Emma xxx

Madison says...

Dear Cathy, Yay! Hopefully you can open an over-seas contest. That’d be AH-MAZING!!! :D It’d be even cooler if it was a Poem contest of a Story Contest. I’ve been taking your advice and have been getting pretty good. I wrote a suspence story for English and got an A+ and my English teacher showed it to the rest of my teachers! :D I’m really excited about Angel Cake (FLIPPIN’ EXCITED !!!) and my parents said that maybe in several months we can go to London and meet you when you’re touring! Double Yay! Please remember us (The fans and I) when you write! :) Praying for your success!!! :D -Madison W. <3 Ya Around the World! (Even if I don’t know you! :) )

Amber says...

G’day Cathy! I have a BURLY time reading your books. It doesn’t matter how much pocket money I spend on them I just love reading them. My fave book of yours is Lucky Star because I think it really show the real lives of some people out there, even though all your books show that. You are my fave writer and I hope you never stop writing. Thx Amber P.S Plz think ‘bout touring Australia

Emma says...

Hello everybody, I think we should all ask Cathy how HER summer was. She always is so kind to us and I want to know what SHE enjoyed. How was your summer Cathy? I asked this above too but there was no reply. I hope it was a good summer. It’s my Bday soon guys! 4th October! (Send me wishes and ciber prezzies, laughs.)

Cathy Cassidy says...

Emma, my summer was kind of drizzly… we haven’t had a holiday yet but are going to Italy in October. In the summer we had lots of lovely friends to stay, so that was cool… And Madison, there is a WRITING COMP running all the time on the WRITERS WORKSHOP page in the YOU section of the webby… and it’s open to readers all around the world. So what are you waiting for?!!! CCx

Anna says...

Katherine says...

Hello! I’m so glad about the competition and I’m probably going to enter soon. The goody bag sounds fab! I’m going to buy GINGERSNAPS soon. I really want to read it! Katherine, 9, England xxx

I really want to write like you some day and i have already written my own book which i am very proud of . Once again i love your books and i would swap watching my fave film for reading one of your books ! My favourite was Sunday girl , it almost brought tears to my eyes ( in a good way )!

Laura says...

Hi cathy, i have read all of your books and i loved reading every one. I have recomended them to my friends and they loved them too. When i read them they make me feel happy!! I have just read ‘GingerSnaps’ and i loved it! But my favoirate book was ‘scarlate’ because i read it in France and i reminds me of sunny days! My question is how do you come up with all the ideas and where does your insperation come from? And do you have any tips? Thanx XOXO

Vicky says...

Hey Cathy, I’m trying to write a story, and i’ve been inspired by your ‘Dizzy’ book. The first time i read, i was a bit out and couldn’t be bothered but i started reading it again, and i really enjoyed it! Can’t wait for ‘Angel Cakes’ to come out. Kepp writing! x

Vicky says...

Hey Cathy, My Summer Was Awesome, Thanks! I went to Tunisia in the summer, it was really cool. The hotel we stayed at had this wierd shaped pool, with three water slides. My sister and I had a great time, and it was ever so hot! Did you go anyway in the holidays? I think your books are amazing and anyone who doesn’t think so, is strange! Keep writing Cathy! x

Laney says...

Hi Cathy! I live in the states and I get to order Gingersnaps today!Angel Cake is going to be brill!I have a question. When will Angel Cake be out?Thanks!

Madison says...

Bronte says...

Dear Cathy i love your books they are the best ever. My favourites were a) Indigo blue, because it is so meaningful and actually happens to people and b) Gingersnaps because it is a real life situation friendship story. When i read your books i feel like I’m actually in the story being the people.

Lydia says...

Hello Cathy, I voted you the queen of tenn. I hope you win you deserve it. Your books are absolutly brilliant. I just finished reading Ginger Snaps. Ginger snaps is a really nrv-racking book. Sam Taylor is so unique and i think that this one of your best books. I am looking forward to read your next book. :) Love Lydia

Anna says...

Katherine says...

Hi Cathy! I’ve read the beginning of GINGERSNAPS and I’m getting it very soon! :] I can’t WAIT ! By the way, by the blurb it sounds like it would help friendships that are teetering on the rocks cos I’ve had trouble with friends before. INDIGO BLUE is my favourite book though. Katherine, Age 9 xx

Katie, some comps are open to readers around the world, like the writing comp on WRITING WORKSHOP page in the YOU section of the site… other comps will state whether or not overseas readers can enter. In Nov we’ll have a book giveaway for overseas readers, promise!

Ruth says...

Hello Cathy! An eyelash has fallen out of my eye and I made a wish that you would never stop writing books. Please don’t stop.

Emma Bairstow says...

Dear Cathy Cassidy,

I am writing a story about two teenagers who get up to all sorts. What nice publisher do you think would publish it for me when I’m done? I am getting so cold at the moment, is it just me or are you lot freezing too? Oh, almost forgot, who won the queen of teen competition, Cathy, was it you? Hope so. I recently read Gingersnaps and I figured I was like Emily in a lot of ways. I’m fat, I had rubbish mean friends before but now I have new BFFs and I have unfortunately had a row with Taz, my BEST friend and Taz, if you read this, PLEASE make up! I only found 1 thing different. I do NOT want a boyfriend, ew! Cathy, I really love your books, they’re soooooooooooooo helpful!

Cathy Cassidy says...

Sadly Emma there are no shortcuts to getting published… it’s a tough task, but by all means give it a go! Check out a book called The Writers Handbook – it has all the info on this subject. You just have to keep trying until you find a publisher who like your work… it took me YEARS !!! Yes, it’s FREEZING just now… Louise Rennison won the Queen of Teen comp, she’s fab, well done Louise!!!

Sarah says...

Hey…!! Just A Quickie To Say Thanks For The Fantabulous Goodie Bag I Got For The Goodies Comp…!! Lots Of Love, Sarah x.

Emma Bairstow says...

I don’t think my books an inch on yours Cathy and it won’t get a lot of readers but I can try. I am so sad you didn’t win but hey, and who won? I didn’t see that name on the options who you could vote for. Weird. Probably my strange computer. My mother got graduated on wednesday and I am soooooooooooo proud of her, she’s been doing her best for 7 years! Big thanks to mum! She deserves this sooo much! I will try that writers handbook thingy Cathy, tar. I was wondering, can I email you an extract so you can judge it for me? PLEASE PLEASE REPLY ! I am so grateful.

Eleanore says...

sasha says...

Hi me and my friend Nicole love the chocolate box girls. you have inspired us to write our own book together. its so good so far and our teacher says we have a lot of potential and we are very talented. I have finished reading your book Marshmallow Skye and I love how you fitted the story of Clara Travers in the book. I also cant wait until your next chocolate box girl. I think it is going to be called Summers dream, because Paddy named chocolates after her and Skye for their birthday. thank you for your time I love your writing from Sasha.
