IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK!
Friday 18th May 2012
Hey… it’s good to be back! My website has been getting some snazzy behind-the-scenes work done recently, so I haven’t been able to update my blog – but I’m back now and I have LOTS to tell you!
First of all, the finalists for My Best Friend Rocks 2012 have been chosen. It was a seriously difficult task this year – the other judges and I were blown away by the high standard of entries. I swear, they get better every year! You can see the shortlisted entries here… well done to the shortlist, and a BIG shout out to all who entered. You’re all winners to me, because you know how important friendship really is. I can’t wait until the MBFR Award Ceremony on June 17th… I wonder who this year’s winners will be?
Guess what… I’m on the shortlist of the super-cool Queen of Teen Award again… I won back in 2010, so I wonder if I can hold onto my crown this time around? You can vote for me here…
In other news, we’ve adopted a new rescue dog, an Irish collie/whippet cross named Finn. Here he is trying out my Queen of Teen tiara… what d’you think? Suits him, huh?

And of course, my brand new book Summer’s Dream is out on 7th June… I’m counting down the days! You can read an extract here…
If you can’t wait till June 7th, get your hands on an early copy of Summer’s Dream by popping along to my first June signing at WATERSTONES, AYR, on Saturday 2nd June from 2.30pm to help me celebrate! Find more tour dates here and in the June newsletter!
STOP PRESS: The Secret Superfan Page isn’t working just yet – a few gremlins in the works that need to be sorted out after the bank holiday long weekend. Don’t panic – we’ll get it fixed soon!
Thanks for being soooo patient while the website was being fixed up… you’re the best!

Hi Cathy, here’s a strange one for you, my daughter Caitlin Mathieson follows you on facebook and regularly enters your competitions and messages you. Her order for your new book is already processed!! It is her birthday on the 13th June, would you be able to send her a birthday message? I know a card is probably asking a bit much, but another photo with a message on it would make her day as she is a Cathy Cassidy superfan!! Thankyou so much in anticipation!!

So glad you’re back! 😀 i’d just like to say i’ve read summer’s dream! There was pre-copies in my local bookstore and i bought it! And can i tell you, i was NOT expecting that outcome! (i won’t say because i don’t want to spoil it everyone else!) but as usual i really enjoyed it! And i could relate to Summer because i’m just as passionate as she is about dance! 🙂
Thank you! 🙂 and keep writing!
