Book Signing at Harpenden Books

Keen for school visits

23/6/2022

I'm so keen to start showing off my lovely new book with schools.

I'm taking bookings now for the autumn term and beyond and still have World Book Day 2023 free!

It is beyond easy to book an author visit with me, all you need to do is contact me and it can be sorted out in as little as two emails.

My fees are still very low so that I don't price schools out of taking part in such a valuable experience.

If you want to know more then visit my author visits page and/or download my school visit outline pack.

I look forward to meeting you!

Incredible Book Launch

20/6/2022

I had an absolutely amazing time, reading, signing and most of all DANCING at the book launch for Call Me Lion.

You can read all about it here:
Book Launch

Thank you so much to everyone who helped make it so special.

Publication Day is TODAY!

16/6/2022

The wait is over. Call Me Lion is finally available to buy, everywhere! If it isn't in your local bookshop then demand firmly that they stock it and refuse to leave until it is available.

Here I am excited as always and celebrating the publication with my dear writing friends, Linda, Suzie, Sue, Kitty, Sarah and Charlotte. We're sadly missing Mandy, but otherwise the HGs are all present and correct.

I do hope to see you at the launch party on Sunday (lion ears optional).

Banner has arrived!

3/5/2022

Please admire this amazing banner!

This wonderful piece of art was designed from the amazing illustrations by Irina Avgustinovich (you can follow her on Instagram BTW @iravgust), by Becka Moor at Firefly Press (who you can find on Twitter @BeckaMoor).

It will work hard, being used as a background in videos, having its first public appearance at the book launch (details here: book launch info), going on school visits (details here: school visits info) AND the big one... the Scottish Book Tour this summer.

I'm so excited to get out and about and shout about this book. It is truly something special and has been a tremendous team effort. I can't wait for it to be in shops and libraries and schools and for everyone to read Lion's story.

More news to come - including the Scotland tour details. Exciting!
