Me and Nanny P being silly with the kids from remote regional areas visiting the festival

Waiting for first session at Whitsundays Youth Lit Festival

Wondering what authors and illustrators do while waiting in a green room? Answer – read horoscopes and threaten each other with foam samurai swords.

Authors descend on Mackay for opening of Whitsundays Voices Youth Literature Festival

My book in museum type display!

This morning I kicked off the Southern Highlands Writers’ Festival with a blast of my trusty bugle!

Thanks to everyone who turned up on a numbingly cold and bleak Bowral morning.  It was great to meet so many super-fans, some who had travelled from as far away as Sydney and Canberra just to see me.

Nanny P, Friday and me on the front page of the Highlands Post (the most super supportive local paper in the world)

Here’s a sneak peek of the US version of ‘Friday Barnes, Girl Detective’!

I got my galley copies of ‘Friday Barnes, Girl Detective’ from the USA today.  These are review copies.  The real thing will be going on sale in January 2016.  I’ll be visiting the US too! I can’t wait!

I just got named athlete of the month at my gym!

After nine years of working on Nanny Piggins this is what I do to make up for all the chocolate I ate as ‘research’.  Being athlete of the month at CrossFit SoHi is a big honour, they are group of seriously fit and dedicated athletes.

I’m at the Southern Highlands Writers’ Festival on July 10th. Book now at shwf.com.au!

Just got home from the gym to find Friday Barnes 3 in my letterbox!

      

Nanny Piggins reading to me from ‘As Aventuras de Nanny Piggins’. Her Portuguese is better than mine.
