Beach Time
When you spend most of your time in front of a computer writing like me, sometimes you just have to get out on a beach and have fun. All you need is two lively kids, a friendly dog and an inquisitive seal.

Autumn
It still seems like summer here in Cornwall (I actually went in the sea on Sunday and the water is really warm, honest!) but I know autumn is here because we’re getting near the time for the Northern Children’s Book Festival. Can’t wait to visit the north-east of England again where I always get such a lovely welcome.

Films of books.
Saw the new film of the book “We need to talk about Kevin” yesterday. Dark, dark, dark! Lionel Shriver was there answering questions at the end. Sooo interesting! I wonder if someone will make a film of one of my books one day…..
