Month: October 2006

First Day!

I’ve just got in from the first date of the Roaming Roaming Book Tour, at Styal Primary School. The school, the teachers and, most importantly, the children, were absolutely fab! And I enjoyed myself too.

I spoke to children from Year 3 all the way up to Year 6 about story writing, gave a couple of readings from my book (which they enjoyed – phew!) did Q & As and signed a few books. I also got the chance to listen to some stories the children had written about Egyptian myths, and I must say that I was very impressed.

Looking forward to what’s next – I just hope the rest go as well as today’s did!

And I’d like to say a great big THANK YOU to everyone at Styal. Thanks guys!

Book Tour Under Way…

Almost. Well it will be in an hour or two when I set off for Styal Primary School.

The weekend was good fun. I had a great time at my friend’s 40th, and I think she did too. It was really nice to see a few old faces and really great to meet up with my friend’s children. It’d been over a year since I last saw them, which made me think how quickly time can pass you by, how I should have made more of an effort and how much this writing lark can turn a person into a boring old hermit (even at the tender age of 25!). I’m determined to change that (well the last two).

On Saturday I went for a Thai meal with my girlie, which I really enjoyed. Fab food and fab company. Who could want more?

Right. Now, let’s see if I can get any work done before I have to leave.
