The best emails that I get are from fans. They ask the best questions, make the best suggestions, and write the most honest and insightful reviews. So today I thought that it would be nice to blog about them. After all, if people can be bothered to take the time to write to me, it’s [...]

I’m twittering as well now. Just when I thought I was getting a handle on my social networking habit (it’s just the odd status update [sniff], I can handle it), I’ve gone and joined Twitter. I justified this on the basis that it should take so little of my time that I’d be able to [...]

I have to say a big thank you to Trevelyan Middle School for the terrific welcome that they gave me on Wednesday night. I thought that the Lads and Dads format was great, and the input that both the parents and the students provided was tremendous.Some of the questions that the students asked really kept [...]

And you have some oil-of-cloves to dab on afterwards. You make changes, knowing that they will have a knock-on [...]

Last week I had an insane seven days. I was out almost every day (and some evenings) on a rollercoaster ride of events: library visits with teenage reading groups, school visits, online interviews, and my first radio interview (you can guess how much writing and editing I managed to get done…). It was great fun [...]

I was recently interviewed by Falcata Times (I knew I’d make it into the FT one day) about how I came to write Changeling, what my influences were, my loves and hates, my favourite characters to write for, and how fish show me nothing but disdain. To get a pre-publication look at the interview, you [...]
