OUT AND ABOUT – FESTS

Like so many word-book making types, I seem to spend most of my blog space apologise a lot for not blogging enough. It's been a busy wee while, what with events and a book that just won't seem to do the decent thing and be finished. But enough excuses! Here's something else – I'm going to be at a handful of festivals over the next few months if you fancy saying hello in the actual, proper real. Here are a few dates for your diary or hi-tech pad-o-phone:


12th May – Storyfest (Hartfield's first children's book festival!)


5th June – Birmingham Book Bash


7th June – Hay Festival (The afternoon event is sold out but you can still book a place in the morning and meet Stitch Head himself)


28th July - Discover Children's Story Centre (Stratford) 


21st and 22nd August – Edinburgh International Book Festival

Hopefully see you at one, all or two!


Here's me trying to read without a book. It's exactly as hard as it looks.

YAR

'Tis the season for piracy! With Stitch Head: The Pirate's Eye coming out this week I thought it'd be a good time to a) show you the cover and b) read a review. Monkey-bats!
