I'm a more chuffed than something that chuffs for a living. BECAUSE... drum roll.... Jim Reaper and The Glove of Death has been picked as one of the year's top 50 children's books by the Children's Book Award peeps. I love them deeply. If you haven't read it, yet, then why don't you..... It'll spook, thrill and amuse you beyond your wildest dreams. Is that going too far?... For the full list click here: YAY BOOKS! If you've missed out on World Book Day week, don't worry - we authors spread the words all year round. If you'd like to me to come along and help your school celebrate reading, big up books and bring out the creative writers in your kids, then visit my Author Talks page and drop me a line.

It's EXACTLY what I was warning you all about... Which goes to show that people who make things up sometimes know what they're talking about! Read all about it here...
