Working, working...

Gosh, it's been a busy year, hasn't it?  I've been away from home for something like 61 nights this year so far, have heard the flight safety briefing 28 times (in several languages) and have been to three different continents.  No wonder I get so sleepy.

But I'm working, I'm working.  Nearly done with the first draft of my next book (out next year some time, all things being well), been working hard on the A Monster Calls movie script as we lead up to shooting (wow!), as well as other movie work, which has been a nice surprise.  So it's not like I'm earning my keep.

In the meantime, I've also been doing events, including this week in Glasgow:  First on Wednesday night at Waterstones Braehead in Glasgow at 630pm.  Book your tickets here.  The next day, I'm doing an Authors Live event for the wonderful Scottish Booktrust, open for schools to log-in and watch.

Then on 24 June, I'm doing the City of Stories Event as part of the FLY Festival in Norwich.  Slightly confusingly, there are two separate allocations of tickets.  There are a few left from the Festival itself (try them first here), and then there are a bunch for different seats available from Norwich Playhouse here.  Try both to get the best seat.

The next day, 25 June, I'm with the Norfolk Children's Book Centre, doing a schools event at 1.30, then an evening event open for anybody at 7pm, in Aylsham.  Their website is here, but email Marilyn Brocklehurst for details. 

Greetings to the new commenters, more soon...
