Saturday 17th January 2015

You can get both on Amazon or direct from publishers Bloomoon. Also lots of bookshops in Germany seem to be selling it online as well.

Ich Bin Ein Writer In Germany!
Wednesday 17th September 2014
My book has been translated into German and is now available in Germany. Buy it for all your German cousins. And if you don't have German cousins, get some German pen pals and buy it for them as a 'hello-would-like-to-be-my-pen-pal?' Intro.
You can get it on Amazon or direct from publishers Bloomoon. Also lots of bookshops in Germany seem to be selling it online as well.
Also, it will be helpful if you are tyring to learn German as a second language. I can start you off: 'Meine Schrechlich Beste Freundin Und Andere Katastrophen' roughly means 'My Best Friend And Other Enemies.'
Book Three Is Coming!
Sunday 25th May 2014
My third children's book in the series, 'My School Musical And Other Punishments' launches in August 2014 and is available to pre-order on Amazon, Foyles or Waterstones NOW!
It follows 'My Brilliant Life And Other Disasters' (and the first book 'My Best Friend And Other Enemies'). This is what it's about:
When Jessica gets roped into the school play she finds herself strangely allied with arch-enemy Amelia when her best friend Natalie becomes crazed with stardom. Meanwhile, Jessica’s dad is concerned at plans to build a new road through nearby parkland and is now living up a tree. So far, so normal!
I'm not saying you should DEFINITELY buy it, but do keep in mind that it is proven that reading improves life expectancy. So what I'm saying is, BUY MY BOOK AND YOU'LL LIVE FOREVER!!!*
*may not live forever.
But it's worth a try right? Especially if you've already given coconut water a go.
The first two books are also available from Amazon, Foyles and Watersones, and all good book shops. You can read the first chapters for free here and here.

Both my books, 'My Friend And Other Enemies' and the sequel 'My Brilliant Life And Other Disasters' are on the Kindle UK Deal Of The Day! This means you can get them both for only 99p each. But only today. Quick.
UPDATE: The power of an Amazon kindle promotion is amazing! The books went to the top of the children's chart and then humour and fiction as well. Even by Monday evening on 24th Feb, they were still at no. 1 in children; no. 1 in humorous; and no. 4 in fiction. Amazing.
