Happy New Year

Just a quick post (I’m not really at my desk at the moment, I’m taking a couple of days for me) to wish everyone a very happy new year.

And a huge thanks to everyone who’s read this little blog this year, who’s visited, who’s read or bought or lent or recommended my books, who’s supported me, published me, who’s been on my course, put up with me teaching, mentoring, sat through a workshop, or who’s just been a friend, old or new. Thank you, it means a lot.

Hoping the next year brings you at least a massive chunk of what you want.

Much love. Now, go! Have fun. Smile. Be happy. Look forward to something.

Hot Off The Press

So, on Tuesday I spent an hour with the children I’ve been working with over the past couple of months who’ve been coming along to my junior writing group. And it was fun, and it was a bit special, because that’s when they received their actual books. They’ve been writing and illustrating their stories brilliantly, and once they were done, thanks to the fab Bookimbo, I was able to turn them into actual little paperbacks. And they looked brilliant. The children read from them, people who had nothing to do with the group listened and it was fab. I’ll be running the same course starting mid January, so if anyone’s interested then do give me a shout.

A big thanks to all who came. It’s been an awful lot of fun and I’m seriously proud of what everyone’s achieved. Great work, folks!
