Tommy in grave peril (geddit?!)
Yes, you read that correctly! You can now watch me writing the next Scream Street book – live! I appreciate it’s not the most exciting webcam in the world – but at least my editor can take a peek and make sure that I’m actually doing some work!

A final peek at the books I’ve read recently – then I’m up to date… AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS – Jules Verne Another great book!

I’ll also have my camera in my pocket in case I meet some of my favourite authors and pluck up the courage to have a picture […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
