Just visited Marulan Public School. It may be a small school but they’ve got some big Nanny Piggins fans!

Melbourne fans, I just signed lots of Friday Barnes and Nanny P at Dymocks Collins St
If you want and autographed copy of one of my books, I just popped in to Dymocks Collins St and signed all their stock. Ask for Anna in the children’s department and she’ll show you where they are.

Me and world’s top selling author, James Patterson! Just hanging out at swanky cocktail party together.
He gave a great speech about the importance of getting kids to read books to help them understand this complicated world.

Friday Barnes has been nominated for an Australian Book Industry Award!
I am so excited that Friday Barnes has been nominated for an ABIA (comedy books don’t usually get nominated for things) and best of all, even if I don’t win, I still get to go to the swanky dinner and eat free food! Note to self – take an extra large handbag for the doggie bag.
