Back from the Bath Festival of Children's Literature! The two people who made this trip such a good laugh were nutty writer Steve Cole and Scholastic's Fiz Osborne, who usually stays in the office as an editor, but made her first official festival trip with me in a publicist kind of role, just for a change. She's a great mix of being totally on top ( Read more... )

Although I know you have a lot of fun I am completely amazed at how hard you work! I applaud your energy level.

Aw, thanks! I'm a bit worried about crashing after all the October events, but I'm taking lots of vitamins and trying to get good amounts of sleep to get through. And they're really fun, which helps offset things like shlepping around with luggage.

Rosalie and I went to see the Princess Poppy event and JLJ was pretty amazing, she had all the little girls (there was ONE boy in the audience) eating out of her hand. I think seeing the sea of pink dresses and princess outfits would scare the &!?@ out of most authors but she seemed well in control LOL
It was great to meet you at last and Rosalie and Oisín are so pleased with their signed books!

Great to meet you, too! Steve told me about JLJ's event, a sight to behold! But I don't think she was scared because she was wearing the biggest pink dress of them all. That takes courage! :D

I think I'd struggle with going the whole way with the princess thing, but the aliens and space aspect of You Can't Eat a Princess! rescued me. We went well into Morris territory with those aliens, heh.

Thanks for your great reviews! And hope to see you in Oxford.
