Hi People,
I’m away next week – writing in West Cork – so no posts ’till the following week – but I’ll leave you with this – a fab event for kids and teens – with Derek Landy, Judi Curtin and many, many more . . . (oh and me!)
Check it out – and book asap!
In the meantime, happy writing,

Plus Derek Landy will entertain you with tales from the depths of his wickedly creative mind. And our crack team of book trade professionals will answer all your questions on how a book is created and how you too can get published.

It gets even more exciting – every young reader will go home with a goody bag, and there will also be an Author Auction – win a writer to visit your school, or signed books by Darren Shan and other cool writers, plus a bookshop on site.
