What a great day yesterday, some children from Tuffley Primary school visited me at Tuffley Library, after hearing me read from My Teacher’s a Robot! a few weeks ago at their school they were pleased to see me again at the library.

We played a creative writing game that was extremely funny and we all laughed a lot, what great, non-sensical and wonderfully thought up stories we managed to make up between us, the teachers could not remember seeing the children so excited about writing a line of a story but their faces when they heard their line read out was great as they all laughed.

The children were absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to get a signed copy of My Teacher’s a Robot! and the books flew out of my grasp as soon as I had signed them.

Thanks to Tuffley Primary for visiting and to Elizabeth at the Library for organising, looking forward to seeing the next class in a few weeks.

What a lovely visit to Tuffley Primary school this morning, the children were totally engaged whilst I read from My Teacher’s a Robot!, they seemed to enjoy every word and would have let me read the whole book.

They then asked some fantastic questions, finding out about being an Author, how I wrote my book , the idea’s I have, how the front cover was designed as well and how many more books are to come in the series.

The Head Teacher Mr Greenwood was pleased to have me visit and would like me to return with My Teacher’s a Spy !! in the near future, thanks to Gemma Clune for organising, I would be happy to see you all again in the future.

What a great review from Karen Hill at Just Relax Magazine, it would seem that Karen and her son really enjoyed My Teacher’s a Robot! and have given it the thumbs up which is magnificent.

Here is the link to the review, I am so pleased with it and happy that more people have enjoyed my book.

What a busy few days visiting Libraries in Gloucestershire, I had a lovely time at Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Chuchdown Libraries, the children loved listening to me read from My Teacher’s a Robot!, even parents enjoyed the story and had more questions than the children.

Each Library made a great effort advertising the event with Tewkesbury and Chuchdown even making robots which were great, the children then got busy drawing me design’s for the front cover of my next book My Teacher’s a Spy !!

There were some great ideas and they all enjoyed drawing with some input from me and the parents, I am sure everyone had a nice time at each Library, with any luck I might be back with My Teacher’s a Spy !! in the future.

Another school visit confirmed with Tuffley Primary school on Wednesday 8th June, I am looking forward to reading from My Teacher’s a Robot! and then answering the children’s questions, I am also happy to sign any book presented. 😀

On the shelf @ Waterstones

After a check through the proof’s of My Teacher’s a Spy !! it all looks great, I had forgotten how good the story was with all it’s twists and turns, now it’s over to Austin Macauley so they can start producing the book and then we can start thinking about the front cover, exciting !!

I am sure people will enjoy this book as much as the first, though the My Teacher theme continue’s it is a different story with new hero’s and is an adventure children will love, really looking forward to seeing it in print, I still get excited seeing my name next to the copyright, small things…

I’m so excited, I have received the Proof’s of My Teacher’s a Spy !!, I can’t wait to read through the book, make sure everything is perfect and send it back to Austin Macauley so the book can be made and then it’s on to designing the front cover.

It is always exciting when you get your book proof’s for the first time, although this is my second book it is still amazing to see your book in print, your name next to the copyright and all your hard work laid out in front of you, this is where it gets serious and before you know it you have decided on how it will look.

We also have the backcover blurb that is great and sounds exciting, a big thank you to the guy’s at Austin Macauley for their help again in making this look great, I hope people enjoy this one as much as they have My Teacher’s a Robot!

And the events just keep coming !!  I have been asked to host an event at Churchdown Library during the Half Term Holiday, I will be there on Wednesday 1st June at 2:15pm, the plan is for me to read a couple of chapters from My Teacher’s a Robot!, answer some questions then do some creative / fun writing and maybe some character drawing if we have time.

This is perfect as I continue to publicise my book series and also give something back, I am sure the children will enjoy my event, everyone is welcome as the more the merrier as they say, really excited and looking forward to it.

Yet more good news !!  I have been asked to host an event at Tewkesbury Library during the Half Term Holiday, I will be there on Wednesday 1st June at 10:30am, the plan is for me to read a couple of chapters from My Teacher’s a Robot!, answer some questions then do some creative / fun writing and maybe some character drawing if we have time.

This is perfect as I continue to publicise my book series and also give something back, I am sure the children will enjoy my event, everyone is welcome as the more the merrier as they say, really excited and looking forward to it.
