Guess who I met?

I was talking about my first 'You, Me & Thing' book at the Word Up! festival in South London last weekend, and guess who I met?
On Sunday, it was Mackenzie Crook, the very wondrous comedy actor from 'Pirates of the Caribbean' ("He's the one whose eye kept falling out, Mum!" says my daughter Milly), who happens to have written his first ever children's book. 
And then on Monday, I took Milly and her friend Susie Q to see the one and only Jacqueline Wilson! The girls queued for an hour to get their books signed (I sat in the cafe, passing them snacks out the window!!) and then joined them to say hi to Jacqueline. Last time we met was at the first Queen of Teen award ceremony, which was extrememly pink! Pink limos, pink sashes, pink cupcakes... 
A fab weekend all in all.
And now it's back to a normal week of work, writing and hanging out with some more VIPs. 
Well, maybe VICs.
(Very important cats, called Gus and Dizzy. Prrp!)

More out and about-ness!

A big hello to anyone from Loreto College in St Albans who I met on Monday, where I was talking about my novel 'Six Words And A Wish'! (Did you like my mini Christmas tree? Hmm?)
I'm off to South London this coming Sunday (Oct 23) to the Word Up! Festival 
www.wordupfestival.co.uk . I'll be yakking about 'You, Me And Thing', and may have some stupid yet interesting things with me! Maybe see some of you there?

Feeling happy because...

1. The sun is shining.
2. My interview on Fun Kids radio last week [http://www.funkidslive.com/] didn't sound too bad (phew!).
3. I'm looking forward to my Bath Children's Literature Festival* event on Monday (26th), 'cause Bath is a gorgeous city, and...
4. I'm doing a talk with the very lovely Cathy Cassidy, Joanna Nadin and Samantha Mackintosh. Whee!

Me on the radio!! (Part 2)

At 4pm today (Wednesday 21st) I will be mostly going "Eeek!", as I listen back to the interview I did with Funkids radio   http://tinyurl.com/683oaw8 
The thing is, in my head, I think my voice is deep and interesting, but when I hear myself recorded, I sound like a baby meerkat. 
How does that happen?
Right better go tune in the radio...*

*And find a cushion I can hide behind while I listen in.
