I love all your books, especially the ones with mad families and pets! My family is quite nutty but we only have 2 hamsters and a stray cat we look after but don't bring in the house cos my dad doesn't let (but we do sometimes anyway!). and surprisingly Ally Love reminds me of my MUM than anyone else!! (Mainly in her sense of humour and I guess yours then too!)
I  love your style of writing, how even when serious things are happening its still light and funny and enjoyable and you know everything will be alright in the end.
I live in North London too, and often go skating at Ally Pally with my family – it's great there!
Anyway, stop reading your emails and get back to your writing! I'm waiting for more books to come out!
