Hi All

Here's the low down of the visit as promised

The visit went really well and the kids that came were well up for it.They were awesome

I talked about my journey as a children's author, my inspiration to write and passion for writing.

I mentioned how I have been to 17 local schools already and I'm looking forward to number 18th

I introduced them to some of the characters and read excerpts from The Bee Hive and signed copies of the book

I made a few contacts and the kids are going into their various schools to convince their Teachers to call me in to visit their classes

Weaverham library want me to come back soon and are arranging another visit

London Book Fair 2017

Howdi All

How's the start of your week so far?

I had a fun filled week just working hard at work. Yes I do have a day time job - Sales Manager.

Well I've just completed 34,000 words of my third novel and it has been hard work - When you have three children, a full time job, author visits to organise, parents to visit etc then time is always going to be a factor

But my passion for writing always shines through!

Now the breaking news is that tomorrow London's most prestigious book fair takes place and will be on till 16th March 2017

Thanks to you all The Bee Hive will be making an appearance
