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.
Carnegie
Well, the big award announcement is tomorrow, but even better is that I've been spending my days at Carnegie shadowing groups.
I went to a big one on Monday in Barnet, with about 150 young readers from 12 schools. I gave a little speech, then they gave presentations on each of the shortlisted books, and they had a big vote for their personal choice for the winner. I won. It was cool.
Then today, I was in Reading for a couple of appearances with a few hundred more readers from about 20 different schools this time. A great day, and the two volunteers (Marcus and Hannah, you know who you are) were cream of the crop.
So that's all good, and I'll be able to announce very interesting short story news on Friday. Stay tuned (for an actual date this time...)
