‘And your next class will be even bigger!’ Whaaaaat?

I’m not joking but the schools in China are literally the size of small cities. Then head librarian Douglas here presented me with a bouquet the size of a small forest (which I got upset about cos it won’t go in my suitcase).

Another thing I’ve noticed is the unbelievable kindness and generosity at every school I’ve been to so far, which means a lot for a lone travelling author.
Thank you BIBA🙏

Best job in the world having a stack of books to sign with a brew in hand. By the way it says ‘capital’ in Chinese on the mug and on the other side it says ‘northern’ which can only mean…I’m in Beijing! Bit jet lagged but nowt a cuppa won’t fix.

Thanks absolute stars at Keystone Academy 🙏

I’ve put off visiting schools overseas till now cos I’ve not had the time. Then the lovely folk @authorsabroad got in touch and organised my first event - in China! If you’re gonna do something, go all in why not?

I’ll be doing multiple sessions every day with 100s of kids and I’m VERY excited to meet them! It’s going to take Olympian stamina but being an old school raver, I think my knees can take it 😂

Blinking gorgeous anniversary bouquet! 💛

Has it really been 19 years since I wed that lad I met raving back in the 90s? Wow. Seems like yesterday.

I should buy him flowers too, for putting up with my mad ideas and antics all this time. Yet he only ever rolls his eyes imperceptibly before continuing to read the paper - Now that’s patience! 😂

If you’re a writer, get with it. Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS) collects payments for photocopying, educational use, digital reproduction etc. Basically anything that involves copyrighted works.

Money is collected from around the world, then paid to members twice a year. This year ALCS paid out £44 million! Lifetime membership is just £36 so it makes sense to sign up.
