SHHHH… CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?
Wednesday 12th December 2012
I’m not very good at secrets. I’m fine if it’s a serious, friend-to-friend secret, a heart-to-heart… but if it’s good news, well, I just want to tell everyone about it! So… when Puffin told me some exciting news a few weeks back I was bursting to tell you all. I can’t – I REALLY can’t – Puffin would ruffle their fluffy feathers and get very cross – but… maybe I can hint?
This summer, I met some fab girls at Queen Elizabeth School in Cumbria who’d made a cool trailer for one of my books (you can find out more about them on December’s Secret Superfan page). Another reader, Hazel, has a YouTube blog and reviewed one of my books on it (you’ll see more of her on the Secret Superfan page in January!)
These girls got me thinking, and one of my lovely Puffin pals, Julia, put all these ideas together and came up with the COOLEST idea for the website! It’s a perfect way for you to find out more about my CHOCOLATE BOX GIRLS series… and it’s launching on the website mid January. I can’t say any more just yet, but… I think you’re going to LOVE it!
Oh, and there’s still time to enter my last two ADVENT FREEBIE COMPS over on my Facebook Fanpage – go over to the fanpage, click ‘like’ to join and then check back on Saturday 15th or 22nd December for your chance to win. I mean, it’s Xmas, so… why not?
If you’re still stuck for prezzie ideas my friend Ruth is showing you a fab crafty make on my December online Newsletter – if you don’t get the newsletter yet, sign up here! You know what? It’s beginning to look a LOT like Xmas!
can’t wait
hey cathy I just wanted to say that i cant wait till the new website addition is up and running!!!!!
Hi Cathy, your books are AMAZING!!! Have you decided on the name of Honey’s book yet??
Wow I am soooooooooooooooooooo super-duper excited! This is pretty much my favourite website (except for maybe jacquelinewilson.co.uk) EVER! I really want a membership but I’ve only got a school e-mail which means I can’t subscribe to anything : (. Until I am finally old enough I will just keep admiring the cool artwork and reading about the brilliant books!
When will the new section be posted on the site? Hope it is soon!
I have only just finished reading shine on daisy star and it is amazingly awesome!!! I will get more of your books!!!
You are amazing at writing, it interests me and you rock!!!
I was there at QES and that day I felt like I would pass out I was so happy to meet you, Cathy! I remember watching the advert and wanting to make one (I’d be Skye, my lil sis would be Cherry because that’s her actual name and my friend would be Honey) but we don’t have any one for Summer or Coco. If we find two people then we will make a book advert and post it to youtube. Love you loads, can’t wait for Bittersweet! xx
Ooooh, I can’t wait, January is ages away though so I’m going to have to do lots of things to keep me busy for the long wait. Who’s your favourite chocolate box girl cathy? Mines coco!
WOW I have every single one of your books! And i have read each one about 15 times! I’m a huge fan and my favourite book by you is ginger snaps ! I’m reading it at the moment aswell , i have read it so many times before! I think i can relate to all of the charecters especially sam , i am not an outsider though i am pretty strange:D Anyway , yeah Cathy you have written three chocolate box girls stories and i can’t wait for coco’s story! I bet it will be fantastic… Lots of love from your biggest most adoring fan Anna xoxo (Ps- I would absolutely love it if you got in touch with me’hint,hint’ 😉 I’m a big reader and i write lots of storys so i could give you some ides maybe?)xoxox
MERRY XMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
