WRITE AWAY....

I’m home again for a while after weeks of touring about… time to get on and finish Gingersnaps! I’m REALLY excited that my book Sundae Girl has been picked as a Richard & Judy Recommended Read…. wow! I’ll be doing a special event in DUDLEY, W. Midlands, with other shortlisted authors, on 30th October, so I’ll maybe see some of you there! Check the Cathy’s Camper page for more details.
I had a brilliant time in London, Bath and Ireland…. thanks to all the fab kids who came to my events in Meath, Louth and Monaghan, especially those who sneaked out of school specially to see me! Thanks too to their teachers, for being so understanding – meeting an author is educational, after all! I have some fab memories of Ireland and a whole bunch of inspiration, too!
Watch out for the results of the Song Titles Story Comp coming very soon. I’ve started judging, but there’s an avalanche of fab entries to get through… and it’s hard to pick out just a few winners! Meanwhile I’m getting on with my new book, Gingersnaps… promise!
