Number One Fan

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

I had a great time at the Walker Books Summer Sales party last night - especially as everyone I spoke to was almost as excited about Scream Street as I am!

Scary Scribes

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

I’ve spent a great couple of days at St. Andrew’s School in Blyth, teaching my Scary Scribes workshop.  The story ideas and unique characters the pupils created have been brilliant!
I’m back there next week for half a day.  Can’t wait!
