Oh dear! I was so dizzy in the head when I was writing my last post that I forgot to say huge thanks to MRS WALSH'S Yr5&6 GROUP at BILTON PRIMARY SCHOOL, Harrogate. Thye'd asked me in to be their studied author.

Thank you everyone for welcoming me to your Literacy Class last Wednesday morning. It was great fun. I'm very glad you enjoyed reading my books - and I enjoyed role-playing Captain Harrible aka The Spectre of Hairy Hector tremendously. Could you tell? Altogether now: "Beware the Spectre of Hairy Hector!Ooooooaaaaoooooh!"

Wishing you all happy stories!

Got an exciting email today telling me that the copy-edited version of A Boy Called Mouse will be arriving back on my doormat tomorrow morning. Think this means a rather busy few days . . .  ¶ 8:20 PM
