| I was fortunate enough to work with Tim Budgen a few years back on a very special project called Only One of Me. He's not only a very talented chap, but an extremely nice and kind-hearted one! I've been hoping to make more books with Tim ever since, and thanks to Scholastic, it's happening. THE SNAPPY SHARK will be available in August in the UK. I hope you'll enjoy meeting Mark the Shark and his underwater buddies as much as Tim and I enjoyed dreaming them up. You can pre-order now. Here's the blurb... |  |

| DADDY'S FOOTSTEPS is now available in paperback! It's illustrated by Paddy Donnelly and published by the very lovely people at Andersen Press. I'm so glad this gorgeous book is finding its way onto shelves and into hearts. It's very special to me; I wrote it when I moved to Canada and was feeling very blue about moving away from my dad. You'll be able to find it pretty much anywhere you can buy books -- including the UK's major supermarkets. You can order it online, too, at my Bookshop.org store. |  |
