‘Stories for 8 Year Olds’ featuring Nanny Piggins!

I just received my author copies of ‘Stories for 8 Year Olds’ which includes the Nanny P story where she ends up making the cake for a royal wedding. With Christmas around the corner it will make a fantastic stocking stuffer, for people with book shaped feet.

Me at William Carey Christian School

I explain to the students why reading books (especially mine) will make you a better person.

Sydney Writer’s Festival takes a bus to Western Sydney (with me on board)

I’m going to be at Parramatta Library on the 1st, Blacktown Library on the 2nd and Bankston Library on the 4th. 

Congratulations Lindy Michaels – winner of BN’s District Employee Award!

Lindy Michaels has just won Barnes & Noble’s District Empolyee Award for her untiring effort to ensure that every single child (and many of the adults) in the Los Angeles area owns a copy of ‘The Adventures of Nanny Piggins’.  She’s sold over 5000 copies so far!  As well as her invaluable support to Nanny Piggins on her recent LA tour.  Lindy acted as driver, navigator, photographer, publicist, opening act and gelato finder.  Thanks to her our trip to the US was a huge success.  Well done Barnes and Noble for recognizing all her hard work.

Nanny Piggins is now on twitter!

If you’ve read the books already (or you don’t want to read the books because you’re more comfortable consuming literature in 144 character chunks), you can now have Nanny Piggins’ wit and wisdom tweeted to you.  Follow her @thenannypiggins

Back at work writing Friday Barnes 3!

It’s not as much fun as meeting all the kids in LA but I guess an author does have to devote some time to actually writing books.

Last school of the tour – Jackson Magnet in Pasadena!
