Author rambling on about... stuff

March at Lost in a Book

When I'm not out and about at book signings I'm bobbing about in an imaginary world creating the next book, and right now that means drawing and colouring in. Yes, colouring in, and no I'm not too grown up to be colouring in, so that leaves a conundrum... as a writer I need to write, otherwise the words will just start to back up in my head and who knows what that will lead to. So the obvious outlet for these words is my website where I can chat to my virtual visitors in a my little bookshop with big ideas.

I'm getting a steady flow coming through now, maybe I should set up some comfy sofas and a coffee machine - work with me here, do you have a kettle to hand? you could become part of this imaginary world I seem to be inhabiting...  

Is the internet a giant game of hide and seek?

Congratulations you found me! 

The internet is starting to feel like a giant game of hide and seek, and I seem to be an expert at hiding...

I sell most of my books at book signings, where people are delighted to meet a real live author, as if I'm some rare and endangered species.

Please visit my bookshop, have a rummage around and read the blurbs.

There's my new book for adults - where I share probably more than I should about how I got outnumbered by cats - is it normal to hiss back at your cat...? She was certainly surprised!

But most of my books are for kids - from picture books to share, to the Doodle series to either read aloud or leave new readers to discover alone.

Jump into a book and find a new friend. Talk about it with an old friend... read yourself into places you never thought you'd go...
