Busy with Schools this year, but also some other exciting events coming up!

May ~ RECTORY LANE CEMETERY ~ Berkhamsted. Is this the most unusual venue for a Festival ever???? I can hardly believe that I am going to talk about Whispers in the Graveyard in an actual Graveyard!! And also help launch the Cemetery
Stories Writing Competition.

July ~ hosting some University students from USA to show off highlights of Scotland’s Children’s Literature scene ~ with amazing illustrator Kate Leiper joining me to talk about our new book.

September ~ NAIRN Festival ~ “Glamis thou art, and Cawdor…” So excited to be going to Macbeth country. Looking fwd to meeting lots of young people (and hoping to tick off Cawdor Castle on my Scottish Castles Visit List.)

October ~ back in lovely East Ayrshire for the IMPRINT Book Festival ~ always sure of a warm welcome, and scones with jam!

November ~ MALLAIG ~ I’ve been promised ‘A Write Highland Hoolie!’ Book Festival with music and dancing and singing.
