I’ve just got back from a hectic three-day trip to London where I dashed around from one part of the city to the next, cramming in as many meetings as I could.  I spoke at a Web 2.0 seminar on how to motivate young readers by getting them to create video book trailers, discussed marketing plans for the coming books in the Scream Street series with my publishers, talked about my next series of books (details of which must remain secret for the moment), enjoyed a conference call regarding something very exciting (which must also be kept secret!), and I still managed a couple of hours in which to do this…

This is me recording the audio book version of Zombie!, my first title for utterly brilliant publishers, Barrington Stoke.  When I heard there was going to be an audio version, I made a sample recording and sent it to the producer hoping I’d be in with the chance to read the book myself – and it paid off.  Of course, that did mean I sat in a tiny booth making gurgling zombie noises and screams for an afternoon!

Big thanks to Douglas, the recording engineer, for making everything as enjoyable and easy as possible (and for taking the picture!)  I’ve arranged to feature an excerpt from the recording on my website – so watch out for that soon.
