Snow (wheeeee!!!!) Homework (blee)

Hi Karen! I adore 'Ally's World'; thank you so much for the books. I'm glad that you didn't become an interior designer; your talent would have been wasted! Right now I'm doing my homework – blee! But later I'm going sledging with my cousin (who is also a fan) as it has been snowing here – whee!!! Snow, snow, snow, wheeeeeeeee!! Is it snowing where you are? Mum screaming at me to grt on with my homework!! Got to go...

Frost, fur and flamingo fairy lights...

Wheeeeeeelllllll Right now, I'm sitting in my living room, Trixie the guinea pig on my lap, while writing this on the computer and craning my neck to try and see the X-Factor on telly while my brother Ethan prances around in a Santa hat in front of it. (Talk about multi-tasking!!!!!)
You see, me and Mum and Ethan have just been to Homebase and have persuaded her to buy a white fibre optic glowing tree, a black tinsel tree, a flashing Merry Christmas sign, a silver glittery loo seat, at least a million baubles – not to mention a string of pink flamingo fairy lights and loop after loop of purple tinsel for my room.
Dad just about threw a fit when he saw what she had bought us, but there's not much he can do about it. Now we're listening to the telly and Frosty the Snowman on the radio while fluffing around doing our own thing.
Oops, Ethan is destroying my paper chains. Gotta go...

An Urgent Message of Pure Wondering-ness

Emm, hi! I was wondering if you ever considered writing another book (or two) as a sequel to 'An Urgent Message Of Wowness'? I would love, love, love it if you did, because I really like that book, and I really want to know more about Heather, and I want to find out what happens next! Thank you for all your awesome books, I love them (I have loads of them on my christmas list!) :D

10 random questions

Hi, I'm Innes - I met you at the Edinburgh Festival and i have 10 random questions to ask.
1. What music do you like?
2. Do you like dogs?
3. How old are you? (Not to be rude)
4. Did you go to Scouts? (I do!)
5. Do you like to draw?
6. What did you want to be when you where a teen?
7. What other authors do you like?
8. What's your favourite book you've written? (I love 'Twists, Turns & 100% Tilda')
9. What's your favourite film?
10. Do you love Converse?
Innes =D

Thanks, Innes, and here are my answers!! KMcC x
1. I'm an indie rock girl, but I love a dollop of good pop too.
2. I adore them. I smile at them in the street (they usually smile back).
3. It was my birthday the day before the Edinburgh Book Festival event – I turned 46. Eeek! How did that happen? Must be some mistake...
4. I did Brownies, but not Guides (some clique-y girls went to that, so I bottled out).
5. I did a Graphic Design course when I left school, but haven't drawn for years. Must take it up again!
6. An interior designer. But I didn't get on the course I wanted at university! I was broken-hearted at the time, but then if I'd done that, then I wouldn't be doing this, if you see what I mean.
7. I really want to read other authors' books but never have time to (it'll be my New Year's Resolution to MAKE time!).
8. 'Marshmallow Magic and the Wild Rose Rouge' - I surprised myself with the twist!
9. I really love 'Gregory's Girl', a sweet and kooky film from the '80s, set in a Scottish secondary school. The love story's cute, and the lost penguin (!) is genius.
10. Yep. I live in Converse. Apart from my very lovely Rocket Dogs!

Tomato Ketchup Crisps!

Dear the v. groovy Karen, I love your books. Ally's World rocks! I would say I was a mix of Ally and Sandie, shy,easily embarrassed and always getting into trouble! But if I was Ally, i would... Give Dad huge hugs. Help Rowan with her latest creation. "Accidentally" wander into Linn(he)'s room when she is out with Alfie and jump up and down on her pristine bed with my muddy boots, then scarper to see Billy when the Grouch Queen appears. Play with Ivy and her (shared) collection of soft toys, not forgetting the much-loved Mr Penguin. Muck around with Billy. Take Tor to the pet shop and then tell him I'll take him to the cinema to see "Super Rabbit" with Ivy. Relax with my brill mum and tell her how much I love having her around. Phone Sandie and ask her how Bath is....

From Georgia (with an x)

Hi Karen,
I’m the girl called Georgia who asked for her name to be spelt with an x on the end at your tour in Bath last year!!! Just thought I’d write and tell you ten things I'd do if I were Ally Love. And here they are:
1. Stroke Colin and his fluffy cat friends
2. Take Winslet and Rolf out for a walk in Ally Pally
3. Be cheeky to Linnhe
4. Eat loads and loads of kettle chips
5. Go to belly dancing class with Rowan
6. Take Tor to the zoo
7. Play chase with Tor, Ivy and the dogs
8. Save up to buy a mobile phone
9. Snog Billy
10. Moan to Kyra, Sandie and co about my grouchy sis Linnhe

Thank the lemons for karma!

Just wanted to say an elephantine thank you for 'The Seventeen Secrets of the Karma Club' (why am I telling you the title of your own book?). I got it this morning and I have already read all of it! I positively adore it!

Oh, and now you're probably wondering what in the name of all that is fruity the title of this e-mail is all about. Well, my friends and I were out shopping and we had a competion to see who could buy the most yellow stuff – and of course, being a total bookworm I headed straight for Waterstones (kind of a weird idea looking back on it – a grocers would have been a safer bet, but hey ho) when I saw your book. Now, credit where credit's due, you beat off a lot of my other favourite authors (not literally though) for my attention, so congratulations, it is a wonderful book and thank you soooooooo much!
