Busy again!!!

Hello, WEJieS!

I seem to be on the road most of the time at the moment. Maybe you could do me a Patron Map to show where I've visited this year to talk about my books!

On Monday, I was at a school in Stevenage; on Tuesday, Malton, in Yorkshire; two whole days at home and then a local visit in Gloucester.

And this week, it's:

• London on Monday 
• Gloucester again on Tuesday 
• Oxford on Wednesday & Thursday
• Swindon on Friday 

 then the following week

• two days in Leicester
• then on to Southampton AND Gosport on Wednesday
• Birmingham on Thursday
• Portsmouth on Friday

and then back to Oxford on the Monday and Birmingham on the Tuesday before it all quietens down again!

In the meantime, I'm also trying to redesign my website, finish editing a video message for all of you, and start redrafting Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face and the Evilness of Pizza, which is much too long at the moment!

But I won't be too busy to pop by here if you leave me a message.

Take care!

John

What a week!

Hi, everyone!

Just a quick post to say how much I enjoyed seeing you all last week. I got home on Friday (after more school visits with Just Imagine Book Centre in Essex) exhausted but very happy.

It was great talking with so many of you about what you're reading. But do you know what? I completely forgot to take a note of your Recommended Reads on the display in the library! So if you put something up there that you think I might enjoy reading, would you mind putting it in the comments, below, please?

Oh, and something you might be interested in. Do you remember how some of us were talking about the fact that books aren't for boys or for girls, but for readers? One of the other authors on the blog I contribute to posted something interesting there, about how even though she just writes books, people keep insisting that they're books for girls. Take a look, and see what you think!

More soon!

John

See you next week!
