The winning dog name is FUZZLES!

Congratulations to the winner, Auj Usman. Auj was unable to attend the launch, but she has been contacted to let her know that she will be part of my next book, Thirteenth Wish.

Well done and thank you to everyone who entered. The competition was so much fun to run, I think I'll do another!

The launch was really relaxed and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you to very one who came to support me.

You may be wondering why I am wearing an orang-utan T-shirt, well, when you read EATS you will find out!

Here a few photographs of the day for those of you who wanted to make it, but couldn't c/o http://www.timophotography.com

Look What Has Arrived!

My books have just this minute arrived, ready for the EATS book launch on Saturday (29 April). 

It is so nice to pick the book up and give it a sniff. That new book smell - nothing like it, especially when it's your own book. I've had a quick flick through, mainly to see the beautiful illustrations done by Annie Harris.

EATS is real and it is here!

The book launch is running from 3-6pm at The Oddfellows Arms, Harpenden. It is a drop-in event and I will be announcing the winner of the Name The Dog competition and doing a talk (or something similar) at 4pm, after which there will be a few nibbles. Thank you for those of you who have let me know if you can come, or not. Hope to see you there if you can make it!

This is a special blog entry for all of you who entered the Name The Dog competition which closed on 1st April.

To say 'thanks', you should have all received an invitation to attend the book launch of EATS where I will be announcing the winner. Please bring along your invitations to the launch as it will enable you to get a discount on your personalised copy of EATS. Don't worry if you're unable to print off your invite, just let us know who you are when you come along.

The book launch is a drop in event which is running on Saturday 29 April from 3-6pm at The Oddfellows Arms, Harpenden. I will be announcing the winner at 4pm. If you are unable to attend (thank you to those who have let me know that you can't come) you are still able to win. The winner will be emailed straight after the event and I will update here too.

I have had some great doggy names and still haven't made my decision! As a reminder, the names are listed below. If you can't spot the name you suggested in this list, or you haven't received an invitation to EATS book launch and you definitely entered before midnight on April 1st (I did receive a couple of entries after the deadline which will not be included) then please contact me. Good luck and I look forward to meeting you (or seeing you again) on 29 April.
