The Brighton Festival event turned out to be good fun.  A nice crowd, good questions, met lots of nice people after queueing to get books signed.  And then I went to see Star Trek, which was blissful.  They're all so young!  It's like Muppet Babies.

I'm traveling again this week, heading to Dublin to speak at the Childrens Book Ireland conference and also appear at a school.  Looking forward to it, though I'm not half-busy this month!  Hence the appalling lack of updates.  It's not changing anytime soon, but at least you can be sure I'm writing book three in every spare hour...
