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.

At long last the remaining books in the Nanny Piggins series are going to be released in America!  They are already available now as ebooks.  The physical books will go on sale later this year.  Book 4, ‘Nanny Piggins and the Accidental Blast-off’ and Book 5, ‘Nanny Piggins and the Rival Ringmaster’ will be available from September 1st.  Book 6 and 7 will be released in November.  Book 8 will be released in January.  They will be released as the Australian editions so the covers will look just like the images here.  They’re already available for pre-order now.  If you’re ordering through your local indepdant bookstore you can tell them that the distributor is Trafalgar Square Publishing.
