The Easter Term has been memorable to say the least! I’ve visited so many schools, met so many fans, talked to so many enthusiastic teachers and recently had the honour of meeting some truly great authors. Phew!

I’ve really enjoyed working with schools in my home town of Rotherham (thank you to Inspire Rotherham), but I’ve also been priviliged to re-visit Elleray School in the wonderful Lake District, great schools in Kent and Surrey, and during World Book Week I drove just over 1000 miles re-visiting Kelly College in Devon and Queen’s College Junior School in Somerset.

Today, just to round things off in fantastic fashion, a little school in Rotherham, called Wath Victoria, produced a new batch of amazing fans. They are truly hooked on my books and I felt proud to be among them. This was followed by a visit to Bramley Grange School (it’s at the end of my Mum’s road) and I did something unusual there – I ran a ‘Master Class Writers’ Workshop’ for two classes of Year 5′s. They were so fired up when I left and dead keen to work on their own stories during the Easter break. How brilliant is that! I can’t wait to read them!

A BIG ‘thank you’ to all the schools this term for making my life (and Mrs Mokee Joe’s) such a wonderful one.

I wonder if you can guess what I’ll be doing during the Easter hols???

Watch this blog for the answer.

Bye for now and sleep tight…but don’t forget to look under the bed!
