What a lovely collection. I thought of you last night when I resurrected your book give away idea in the village, nothing like so many books as you, but they were welcomed by the local kids, along with their treats.

Thank you.

Thanks so much, Keith and Lauren. It's a dream, to have Keith illustrating. I feel very lucky.
Lauren, there's a copy of Grace on the way to you, but I also know how busy you are so DON'T rush to read.

Lovely news, and I am very much looking forward to Song of the Saltings.

That's very kind, thank you.

I read that, and replied and then deleted my reply because I was so ashamed of it. I have stopped doing school visits. They have frightened me for years. Festivals, libraries, signings I love. Schools, no. I have come to dread them.I've had more good ones than bad, but even so.
Never again.

I know. Very nearly voted Labour. Chose Green in the end. So this bloody awful government is one less thing on my conscience.

That's so kind, thank you.
