Enjoy time off, get out in the sunshine or, if the weather&#8217;s not so good, curl up with a choccie egg and a good book. And don&#8217;t forget to nominate me for Queen of Teen -time&#8217;s going fast!</p>

My readers mean a lot to me and I love your enthusiasm and the honest feedback you give me about my books. Remind your teachers to send on their photos and I&#8217;ll put them up on the site. And thank you so much for your help with the title of my latest book. I will let you know as soon as I&#8217;ve made a final decision.</p>
