Hi all - readers and book lovers.

Still busy,busy,busy. Approaching a finished first draft of Second Skin - have given myself the end of Summer as a deadline. How will I tell it's the end of Summer in UK - hmmm. Tricky! Have been doing lots of Magic Kitten events over the past 3 months. Love meeting young readers and their Mums and Dads. Always have a fun time doing readings and sharing tips for short stories, building character etc. But glad to have solid writing time to myself now, until a couple of We Other events coming up this Autumn. More details nearer the time. Why can't I write shorter adult books? I'm trying - Second Skin is not as long as We Other. But I just seem to have a lot to say - and I also love reading a book I can really get my teeth into. They say write what you love to read..

Hot of the Press - I'll be at Althorp Literary Festival in October - check their website for details. More about that later...
Wishing all bookaholics a wonderful weekend. Everything is better with a book xx
