“I absolutely love dizzy, it is a great book. i just wanted to know how you came up with the character dizzy – is this a true experience?”
Well Meeta, it’s great that you’re loving Dizzy! Dizzy is not based on a true experience, Meeta, although I had lost of traveller friends and have always wanted to set a story in that world. The name came from a girl I met at a traveller wedding, Dizzy was a nickname for Denise, but it stuck in my mind and I knew I’d use it in a story one day!
I got Dizzy for my birthday from a friend. I didn’t know if it would be good but when I started to read I got hooked. So did my mum! Dizzy is an amazing book with a great storyline – I would recommend it to anyone!!!!
I recently have finished reading Dizzy. Let’s start off by saying how amazing that book really is. I laughed and cried. Please, please, please create a sequel! It was as if I were there, just sitting back and watching the whole adventure take place. The novel had its romantic parts too, which I thought was just the icing on the cake.
I love your books i only started reading them not long ago but they’re great!I have a pet cat called Scarlett!
I’m 11 years old and I have read dizzy ( the best book on this entire planet we call earth), indigo blue and scarlett. I wish I could get an autograph, my friend Sarah would be soooooooooo jealous.
CC Fan, if you write to me at [email protected], I’ll send you an autograph…don’t forget to include your address though!
Hi just like to say ove the re-vamped website, ultra retro. I’ve been writing stories/books all my life. There isn’t a single notebook in my drawer that hasn’t got a story crammed inside it! (or a drawing which I adore to do!) You are a great author keep it up!
