Friday 10th July 2009 - I am Proud to Present....


The cover for my teen novel, My So-Called Afterlife, out in February 2010. Isn't it scrumptiddlyumptious? I absolutely love it!

Otherwise, it's been a quiet week. I had a cracking time at the Wireless Festival at Hyde Park last Saturday. Then my agent thought she had swine flu but it turned out to be tonsillitis. I subbed a short story to the Guardian Weekend Short Story competition (thanks to Tania Hershmann for prompting me to do this!). I STILL can't reveal the exciting news or the children's book deal publisher. Hang in there, folks!

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!


Edited to add: There's a sneak preview of the synopsis over on the Chicklit Blog. Feel free to pop over there and leave a comment!
