…unfortunately! I’ve now uploaded the pictures to the gallery page. Just follow the link on the right to see them if you fancy a giggle! Some of them are very old and haven’t weathered very well (I’ve been carrying them from flat to flat in boxes for years!) If the response isn’t too bad, I’ll […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve not been well. Spent the last few days in bed, suffering from what Kirsty claims was just a touch of flu, but I’m certain was a combination of every disease known to man, with a few new ones thrown in for good measure. As a result, I’ve not done any writing for the past […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Turns out I wasn’t as over my flu as I thought! I’ve just spent another week in bed, suffering at the hands of this nasty little bug – and I’m now on antibiotics for a throat infection, too! I’m a little better today (although I still feel as though I’ve gone ten rounds with Felicity […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Editorial Anonymous, one of my favourite blogs, posted details of what someone, somewhere considered to be a genuine submission a few days ago. In reality, all it was was a spam email for a self-published children’s book (and a self-published children’s book that claimed to be THE educational tool of the year, at that!)

I’m off to London today (an odd thing to type as I lived there for eight years). Tomorrow is the sales conference at my new publishers – Walker Books – and they want me to introduce my series, Scream Street, to the reps and foreign sales teams. I’m a little nervous, but really looking forward […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My trip to London was a great success, and I’ll have some exciting Scream Street news to share very soon! Tommy
I’d like to introduce the newest member of the Donbavand household. This is Scamp (he’s on the left)… When we first brought him home from the pet shop, his name was Spike but, as the first few days wore on and we realised that he was a mischievous little so-and-so, we figured a change of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I had a great day at Seven Stories today, running a celebration event to conclude the Amazing Archives project. Amazing Archives was based on the Seven Stories Collection, which gathers and archives original manuscripts and artwork for children’s books. Pupils from two north east schools wrote their own stories, keeping their plot notes, character biographies, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The first review for the Scream Street series is in! Actually, to be more specific, it’s a review of the scene I read out during a creative writing workshop on World Book Day! Still, thanks to Daniel for his kind comments… The new Scream Street was so good. I liked the part when Luke got […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My son, Arran, arrived home from school today proudly wearing a sticker for ‘excellent writing’ (so, he’s got himself a writing award before I have, eh…?) I asked what his piece was about, and he explained that he’d written the story of Easter, including the Last Supper, Garden of Gethsemane, etc. I commented that it […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
