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! Glad that you’re back!
I have a few title suggestions for the next books in the series of the Chocolate Box Girls.
OK, for Coco: Coco Surprise
And Honey: Honey Crunch or Honey Crisp
Hope you like them!
Welcome back Cathy it’s good to have you back! xx
I can’t wait for Summer’s Dream! I love your stories so much. You always manage to get across every single emotion and at some point in each of your novels I have cried either out of happiness or sadness. They have such clever meanings to them! You’re the only auther I’ve ever been able to reread over and over again. The happiness it gave me when I found a surprise signing in one of your books that I bought proves how much you and your stories mean to me.
heyyy!
soo nice 2 have you back cathy! Cant wait for your next book! ( please make one =) with a cherry on top)
Heyy Cathy,
It’s great that you’re back with soo much more great news!!!
I watched Summer’s Dream trailer and it sounds AMAZING!!! I can’t wait to read the book. Your other two books of The Chocolate Box Girls Series: Cherry Crush and Marshmallow Skye were just CHOCOTASTIC so I’m sure Summer Dream will be just as magnificent.
Best wishes Jess xx
