I just noticed that you use quite a lot of exclamation marks in your blogs. Are you addicted to them? Maybe you should seek help...

PS Your 'Stella Etc' series is brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, so there might be a three-legged ginger cat called Colin in your 'Ally's World' books, but I have a three-legged guinea-pig called Eric! He is named after my grandad (though my grandad didn't have three legs, as far as I can remember). You can use him in one of your stories, if you like!

PS I wish Colin was real – then he could come and meet Eric!

Hey Karen, I had never read any your books before, but my auntie bought me ('Seventeen Secrets Of The Karma Club') for Christmas and I absolutely, totally hate it! Only joking!! (Hope  I didn't give you a heart attack.) It's so, so, SO good, and I couldn't believe the twist in it, when– ah, I guess I can't say, can I, without giving it away?
Looking forward to reading lots, lots, LOTS more of your books (it's my New Year Resolution).

I was bored and whinging to my big sister about having nothing to do last weekend. She disappeared for a bit then came back and chucked a book at me. "Read this! Get happy!" she said. So I read it, and I was! It was her old copy of 'Angels, Arguments & a Furry, Merry Christmas' from the 'Ally's World' series, which I haven't read yet. But I will now! Well, I will if my sister lets me borrow her collection. Think I'll have to bribe her with all my Christmas chocolate!

The 'Ally's World' series of books are the best books I have ever read :)
You are an amazing author (way better than Shakespeare who I'm currently studying for GCSE English). Your style of writing inspires me and now I've decided to write a proper story (wish me luck!), though I can't help but write in a similar style to yours (hope you don't mind!).
A big thank you (for writing 'Ally's World' in the first place) and please write more! :)
Tayha :D

'Cause I'm trying to write my own book and I'm totally stuck for an ending. And a good beginning. And a middle.
I'm not to sure about a title either. Or what the main character should be like. Or what the story should be about.
Actually, I think I won't bother – I'm off to re-read the entire 'Ally's World' series for the zillionth time instead...

Can i just say that the 'Sadie Rocks' series is nuts?!? In a really COOL way, I mean. Where else can you read about a pet Christmas tree? Or a cat called Dog? Or a teenage boy who's a trainee undertaker?????
Your mind is mad, Miss McCombie!!

I love your books so much that if I met you in the flesh, I might just faint. So if you ever pass a girl lying unconcious on the street, clutching a copy of 'Seventeen Secrets of the Karma Club' (my personal favourite), then you can be pretty sure it's me!

I can't stop stroking the bumpy raspberries on the cover of my copy of 'The Raspberry Rules'.
And when I log on to your site, Karen, I love to watch the buttons swirl round and round.
I may be going mad, but I'm very, very happy...

Hey Karen! In 'The Raspberry Rules', Rowan finds a site called 'Find-Your-Inner-Fairy.com', which I knew is just something you made up for your book. But then last night I Googled it for a laugh, not expecting to find anything, and... well... I found something! It's a very pretty page, by the way...
