AUTUMN’S AWESOME!
Tuesday 19th October 2010
I’ve had a brilliant September, touring around to launch my new book CHERRY CRUSH and meeting readers as far afield as Dublin, Plymouth, Brighton, Norfolk, Boston, Bluewater, Bromley, Coventry, Liverpool, Stockport, Scotland… and just about everywhere in between! Now I’m home, and finishing edits on the third Daizy Star book ‘Strike A Pose, Daizy Star’. It’s going to be fab!
After that, I’ll start work on Vanilla Skye, the next book in the Chocolate Box Girls series… I cannot wait!
In the Summer, we ran a comp for the best three photos of readers reading their fave CC book… and the winners are EMMA HARDY, age 10; MALLE POOLA, age 16; and GEORGIA RICHES, age 13. You can see their photos below… Malle is reading Gingersnaps (in Estonian translation) beside a lake in Estonia, Emma is reading her book at The Beatrix Potter Centre in the Lake District, and Georgia is chilling out with Driftwood in an apple tree. Pretty cool! You can also see all three winning photos in the next copy of my free online NEWSLETTER… and some of the other entries will be on YOUR PHOTOS in the YOU section soon!
Some of you will have noticed the new SECRET SUPERFAN PAGE link on the website homepage… and those of you who subscribe to the free online NEWSLETTER should already have a clue to the secret password! If you haven’t checked out the SECRET SUPERFAN PAGE yet, or don’t know the password, sign up for the free online NEWSLETTER… the next issue will give you the clue you need to work out the secret password!
So… what’s on the SECRET SUPERFAN PAGE? Get your paws on that password and take a look! You will find a special challenge for my superfan-readers every month, and find out who my superfan(s) of the month are… plus lots more! Don’t miss out… but remember, it’s for superfans only!
I’m really looking forward to getting back to writing and editing, and cosying up with a hot chocolate and a log fire burning. Don’t forget to tell me how you’re going to make YOUR Autumn awesome!

I came to see you hen you were in norfolk and you signed Angel cake for me and dizzy for my friend.
Hey Cathy!!! OMG I was SO happy to find out that I was one of the RUNNERS-UP in the poetry section of the ‘Friends’ writing comp!!! I didn’t think I was getting a prize or anything, but a week later, the parcel arrived in the post…Our post is always a bit slow, but it came at just the right time, as I was feeling SERIOUSLY fed up that day and it cheered me up straight away!! The letter was so inspiring, thank you sooo much!!! 😀 I MIGHT be going to see you in Belfast, fingers crossed, as I live about an hour and a half away, but I will DEFINITELY bring my letter so I can say thank you all over again!!! My bff Catherine was happy for me too, because I was talking about the relationship between me and her in my poem, which she didn’t know about until I got runner-up!!! Right, I’d better go, as this comment is turning out to be ultra-long, but thank you, thank you a million times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀 ♥ xxxxx p.s. cherry crush is AWESOME!!! SERIOUSLY!!!
OMG! I luv the cover but havent read it yet! Cant wait to reveal the chocolately goodness of Cherry Crush! U ROCK! LUV ALL UR BOOKS! KEEP WRITING!
Hey there Cathy. I got my hands on Cherry Crush when I saw it at our Book Fair in school. My friends have got it too and we are giving each other the quiz at the back of the book! I can’t wait till the next one.
