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
- two days in Leicester
- then on to Southampton AND Gosport on Wednesday
- Birmingham on Thursday
- Portsmouth on Friday
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
Can you write a new Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face book about dragons? We love dragons. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteHi John, it's Kayley. We are reading One Dog and his Boy by Eva Ibbotson in class. We really like it. How is the new Stinkbomb and Ketchup Face book going? What are you doing for World Book day and what are you reading? We loved your video because we saw Mr Biddle.
ReplyDeleteJohn, that picture of you looks like you're rapping, you look good out there.
ReplyDeleteYou should go to the shops and buy a gangster hat, then rap.
You should write a new book called Stinkbomb and the Rapper. Or you should write one called Stinkbomb and Ketchup Face and the Rap of Madness.
Hi John, here is what we're reading at the moment. Honey is reading The Slobberers and it is by Morris Gleitzman and Jaya is reading Running Wild by Michael Morpurgo. We hope to see you again soon John. Also take care and see you soon.
ReplyDeleteHi John, we all watched your video. I'm really looking forward to you coming to our school again. At the moment I've been reading this book called Out of this World by Ali Sparkes, it's a really good book. I think you should read it.

I thought it was so funny! If you read it, hope you like it too.
ReplyDeleteCan you also write a Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face book about motorbikes? It could be called Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face and the Madness of Motorbikes.

Hi John have you read One dog and his boy I think you would love to read it I think one of your new books should be called stinkbomb and kechupface and the world of mystery's and I think it will be very exiting so people would read it and probably you could make a collection of stinkbomb and kechupface books.
ReplyDeletegood luck on your journeys :)
Hi, everyone.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bunch of suggestions for Stinkbomb & Ketchup-Face! I had dinner with my editor the other night, and she's very hopeful that they're going to ask me to write some more S&KF books, so you never know, I might use some of your ideas.
I LOVED One Dog and His Boy. I thought it was an absolutely lovely story; it felt like an instant classic. I'm glad you're all enjoying it so much.
I've just started reading Wolf Hall, which is a very weighty and heavy book about one of Henry VIII's advisors. I've been wanting to read it for ages. I'm not sure what to read when I've finished it, but you've given me some terrific suggestions - maybe Out Of This World or Cry of the Icemark might be my next one.
Oh, and Andrew - sorry, I can't write a Skylanders book. I wouldn't be allowed, any more than the person who writes Skylanders would be allowed to write a Stinkbomb & Ketchup-Face book!
Better sign off now - I'm packing to go to Leicester. Glad you liked the video so much!
John
Hope you have a good time at Leicester and when will you write your new stinkbomb and ketchup-face book and will Mr B's class read it next it would probably be in year 5 but we might not have Mr B as our teacher anymore we might have someone else instead but have you read gangster granny i have watched it but have not read it yet.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Leicester is like hope it is good :)
Hi, Mollie
ReplyDeleteI had a great time at Leicester, thanks - though I didn't get to see very much of it! I went out for a curry with Sarah McIntyre and some comics creators one evening, but otherwise it was just doing my events and signing books.
I'm working on the new Stinkbomb & Ketchup-Face right now - and I'm sure Mr Biddle's class will get to see it, maybe even while you're still in his class!
I haven't read Gangster Granny yet, but I'm sure I will at some point.
John
