IRELAND… AND ITALY!!!!
Sunday 5th October 2008
Hiya!!!
I’m away from home for three weeks, first in Ireland, then Cheltenham and finally on hols in Italy! Yay! And don’t worry, I’ll be taking Angel Cake with me on the laptop!!! I’m looking forward to writing while sitting under a lemon tree in Sorrento… sigh!!!
I had LOTS of fun at the Queen of Teen ceremony recently – Louise Rennison was a v. deserving winner, but hey, I got a sash and tiara… to keep! Thanks to everyone who voted/nominated me and especially to Rhiannon for her winning nomination.
There’s still time to win a bunch of free signed books, so check out the Summer Stories blog for details… and if you’re planning to enter the ‘Journey’ themed writing comp, get your skates on, as it closes at the end of October… details are on the WRITERS WORKSHOP page in the YOU section.
Keep in touch – but be patient, ‘cos it may take me longer than usual to respond to emails while I’m away! I’ll catch up once I return. See you soon,
