I have been very busy these last few weeks finishing off the latest Hamish McHaggis story HAMISH McHAGGIS AND THE LOST PRINCE, which is published in May this year. I think Sally has done a wonderful cover. It looks fantastic! For a sneak preview have a look on the BOOKS page and click on NEW BOOKS!

The cover of my WRITING FOR CHILDREN book, which is to be published a month later, in June, is also there but it is going to look slightly different than the one we have showing at present, so come back and see if it changes!

I am also VERY excited about my first novel for teenagers SPIDER which is coming out in September. I’ve not seen a cover design for it yet but I will put it up here as soon as I can.

I have a busy schedule for the next few months and in fact the whole year looks like being rather busy and I have been asked to lots of interesting places, which I love! I will be adding to the MY EVENTS page and updating it quite regularly so keep coming back to have a look.

Apologies for anyone who tried to load the website from the www.contactanauthor.co.uk site. There was an error on my page- which was entirely my fault – but it has been corrected now. It is a wonderful site for anyone trying to book an author visit.

If you tried to contact me and couldn’t get through, please try the email address on the contact page which should work. Lesley, my wonderful web designer, is working hard to iron out a few little glitches.

The GALLERY is beginning to fill up but I am going to re organise it and put up some of the pictures of school visits and drawings that I’ve been sent from children whose schools I have visited.
