The first press review of Monsters of Men is out, and it's a good one!  Sally Morris in the Daily Mail called it a "dramatic and powerful finale", which is cool.  You can read the whole review here.

And don't forget I'll be in Dublin this week at Easons on O'Connell Street.  Details here and you can probably also call the store for info on 01 858 3800.

I've got a few notes recently that think I won't be at the Carnegie Medal ceremony in June.  News to me!  I definitely plan on being there, so if your school has been lucky enough to win tickets, come over and say hi.

And so many new comments, I can't keep up with them!  Note that I do edit out any hint of spoilers (remember, big parts of the world haven't got Monsters yet), but you're all very welcome here.  I'm sorry I can't answer them all personally like I used to.  My excuse is that I need the time to write books...

Please scroll down for a whole lot more info on what I've been up to (including the trailer).
