I’ve been very busy writing for the past few weeks, and the good news is that I’m almost finished the first draft of the third Friends Forever book. (Let’s hope my editor is reading this and clearing her desk in anticipation.)

The other good news is that on Friday I’ll be doing my first reading of 2012. I’m off to Cork, where I’ll be in Blackpool library, discussing The Time Spell. This is because the nice people in Blackpool have chosen my book for their One Book project. I’m very much looking forward to meeting everyone there. (And since they kindly sent me a map, I have no excuse for getting lost!)

Keep watching my events page, where I’ll be posting news of any other readings as soon as they are arranged.

PS It was a brilliant event. The pupils of Scoil Aiseiri Chriost were interested and enthusiastic, and the library staff, Mary and Pauline were great. Thanks to Pauline for taking enough photos that I actually found a few I liked!
