Tommy in grave peril (geddit?!)
The lovely folks at Walker Books recently asked me to write an entry for the Bear Blog on their spiffy new website – so I decided to reveal the answer to a question we authors are asked constantly… Where do you get your ideas from?

The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed the new widget on the right hand side of the page.

Today would have been my Mum’s birthday. Sadly, I have to say ‘would have’ as she died from cancer three years ago. I miss her more than I could possibly say.
