Catching Up

Over the last few weeks I’ve been busy catching up on some writing and a few other bits and pieces so haven’t found the time to write anything in my diary.

I’ve visited one wonderful school – Coppull Parish – in Coppull, near Chorley in Lancashire. I spent the whole day with the wonderful folk in year six HURRAH. This week they (and lots of other year sixes around the country) have been busy doing their SATS – BOOO!. It was so good visiting the school that I will be going back there in a couple of weeks to see everyone else.

Apart from that, I’ve been busy putting the finishing touches to a few new picture books stories and thinking of ideas for some more new ones that I’ll be working on later.

I’ve been checking rough artwork for Robo-Runners book 5 – The Ghost Sea – and I must say that the wonderful Mark Oliver has done another fantastic job. Even his rough artwork is fantastically detailed and it seems rather rude to call it rough – but amazingly he manages to make his finished artwork even better.

Later this week I’m popping in to Revoe Primary School in Blackpool for a little while and also talking to a Women’s Institute group – I hope they don’t get to rowdy.
