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 think I am ordering cherry crush from amazon tonight. I really want to go to the Belfast book signing- hopefully my mum isn’t working that weekend. I also love writing as well as reading. Can I take a short story (It’s only a page and a half) to the belfast book signing ? I just want you to read it. That would be amazing! Please get back to me on that (:
I really wanted to go to Belfast for the book sighing but I cant. I live in Manchester.

In september you came to my school in dereham, norfolk i was sooo exited for days!!! i wrote my name in your note book and you said it might be used for a future character. I loved cherry crush its amazing!!! i am like one of your biggest fans!!! my mum loves the story dizy! cant wait till vanilla skye to come out next year!!!
Cherry Crush is AMAZING !! It sometimes felt like you were writing about me !! Because I am sometimes pushed out of my circle of 8 friends and I have a crush on someone that I also hate !! And I don’t know what to do !! But when I read Cherry Crush I was wanting more !! Please let the next Chocolate Box Girls book be about Honey I really want to know what she is like under all that glam and glitz!! 😉 Keep on writing amazing books !! =)
I know everything else is talking about Autumn…but I’m going to have to be different than everyone else, because I come from down- under…Australia! Right now we’re going through Spring…we’ve had some nice weather! I can’t wait to read to read your book Cherry Crush. I’ve only just started reading books by Cathy Cassidy, but I think I’ve already become a fan! I have read Angel Cake and I’m currently reading Gingersnaps. I have started writing my own book called The Stolen Stone…I’ll be sure to send it to you when I’m finished! Thanks Cathy for the awesome books! I’ll make sure I read all of your books!
Thanks! xxx
