On Friday 6th October 2006, I spent the day running creative writing workshops at a school in Wallsend, Newcastle.  I’d quit my day job as operations director for a children’s touring theatre company a week earlier to become a full-time writer, and was throwing myself into school visits as a way to earn some money.  […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Thanks to everyone at North East Lincolnshire Libraries and Nunsthorpe Community School in Grimsby for a wonderful day yesterday! I brainstormed story ideas and invented characters with year 5, and had some fiendish fun with the Scream Street relics with year 4 – after which they sang me a song about ghosts!

My blog is four years old today – which means I’m now 44. I read back through some of my old posts this morning.  It’s been a hectic four years.  In that time, I’ve had 18 books published and signed deals to write many more.  Scream Street has been published all around the world, and […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Happy World Book Day!  I’ll be out and about, causing some Scream Street chaos with pupils at Ormskirk School – along with my rather spiffy new banner… But that’s not all… Renaissance Learning publishes its annual What Kids Are Reading Report today, providing an in-depth look at which books are proving popular in schools, and […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I finally made it to Derby Central Library today – six weeks after I originally should have been there! I was due to be running my Vampires vs Werewolves Game Show at the library on 4th February for National Libraries Day but, as I left the house at 6am to drive to the event, I […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Going Barmy In Barmby

I had a BRILLIANT day at Barmby-on-the-Marsh Primary School in Howden today!  I always enjoy visiting schools where the pupils have done a little background work and read some of my Scream Street books – but these guys were Scream Street crazy!  They knew just about everything about the series and its characters – and […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I’ve just got home from an incredible day at West Kirby Residential School in the Wirral.  I ran two creative writing workshops – in which I heard some of the most exciting story ideas ever – and then we brought the house down with my Vampires vs Werewolves Game Show.  And what an incredible group […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

At my recent visit to Derby Central Library, I met a very talented illustrator called Sanjaya Paris-Wani – aka Miss Illustrated.  I asked if she ever drew vampires or werewolves – and look what popped into my inbox!  I think they’re great!
