“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’ve read dizzy about four times and i’m reading it again!i’ve read all the other books more than once and i love them! but dizzy is my all time favourite.i’ve even started using it as inspiration in my art project!
thank you for the read i always find when things arnt going well at school or Im in the blues i find that reading your books make me realize how lucky i am
I love yor books and read : Dizzy, Indigo Blue, Sunday Girl and Lucky Star. But where can I get more of them instead of borrowing Scarlet and Driftwood off my friends?
But you are my favourite author!!!!!
We started reading Dizzy for a class at MSU-Mississippi, USA…and at first I was thinking this would be just one of those books you read just for class, but I LOVE IT and bought copies for my friends!!!
hey yer I was mad about it when first read the book and I was so mad about the book that the next day I got indigo blue and driftwood and I read them in 2 days.
thankes for making the best
