Yorkshire to Devon in one week... phewwww!!!

Well it's been a couple of weeks since my last blog... the main reason being is that SAT's sort of gave me a bit of a breather from my primary school visits, so I took some valuable time to concentrate on writing the fourth Bradley Baker adventure story... the Gullfather of New York.

 

The plotlines are progressing well and the book is on schedule to be released later this year. However, the school visits didn't stop for too long... I was busy again this week with five more author presentations at both ends of the country, when I travelled to Rotherham and Plymouth!

 

 

Four schools within the Clifton Partnership played host to my showcase events; on Monday I presented to the year 7 students at Clifton Community School... then onto St Ann's Junior; then on Tuesday to Herringthorpe Juniors and finally St Mary's RC Primary. A long drive back to Devon on Thursday and a wonderful visit to Dunstone Primary near Plymouth. WOW... what a hectic week but well worth the effort, as I accumulated thousands of new BB fans!!! and boy did they love the books with huge queues for signed copies at all five schools :)

Here are some of the letters from children at Dunstone Primary, thanking me for visiting their school;

I'm really looking forward to returning to Cockington School in Torquay in July to complete their book publication project. Sixty children in year 4 have been taking part in my creative workshops and the half term break this week will afford me an opportunity to work on the book in readiness for my next visit.

I'm also excited about my visit to Buckfastleigh too... I'll be meeting with the lovely peeps at Families For Children and talking about how I can help to advocate the charities great work within the region.
