This week will see the first of a series of literacy workshops at King Edward VI Community College in Totnes. I will be working with a select group of Gifted and Talented children from all twelve schools in the Totnes Learning Community to develop character profiles... and one lucky student will have their creation featured in my fourth adventure book; Bradley Baker and the Gullfather of New York!
Look out for more updates in the next few weeks... where I will also be venturing into some Exeter schools too! World Book Week is already fully booked to the brim with school visits and then over the coming months, the #Bradmobile will be visiting even more schools in Devon, Dorset and I'm really looking forward to a return to Gloucestershire after the Easter break.
On a slightly different note... I received some fantastic news this week. Bradley Baker will be going state-side!!! We're off to New York at last... a journey across the pond will take place later this year and I'll be taking part in a series of events to promote the new boy hero. I can confirm that the first event will take place in New Jersey at the Roseland Library, where I have been invited to speak and sign copies of my books. I've received many messages from well-wishes on facebook about this exciting opportunity and even requests to get the movie rights secured, whilst I'm over there... now wouldn't that be nice?!!!
I've got so much more to tell you but I'll have to leave it all for another blogspot, as I have to crack on with writing BB's fourth adventure (so many ideas in my head - got to get them down on the page before I lose them... you know what it's like!!!).
So that's all for now folks... and hope to catch up with you all very soon.
Best wishes, DLJ
