Welcome
Welcome, finally, to my website. Here's info on me, my books and other writings, what I'm up to, and the inevitable deeply self-absorbed blog. Visit, graze, leave a comment, then go out into the sunshine and read.
I'm the new (and first) Booktrust Writer in Residence!
Yes, that's the big announcment: I am the new and very first online Writer In Residence for Booktrust, the very excellent reading charity.
The website is snazzy, has a nice broody picture of yours truly, and includes a regularly updated blog (so I'll have to juggle two) and tips for writers on the whole process of writing a book. I'll also be writing an exclusive short story and having a video Q&A with some young writers at a local school. It runs for six months, and I'm very, very pleased to have been asked. Check it out, good stuff.
To celebrate, I ran 20 miles this morning in under three hours. Honestly, people, what do I have to do get you to sponsor me for the marathon? Just click here. It's easy.
