Another year is upon us and already it’s racing away. So much to do and enjoy! As well as yoga and Pilates, I’ve added learning Hebrew! The Grandma Magic book, available in April, will be in the shops March 30th. Many writers including me have written about the experience of either being a grandmother, or of the influences of our own grandmothers. I can’t wait to read the others’ essays.
I’m also still rewriting the 12 books of Conspiracy 365 with Book 4 coming up for even more work shortly. I have a great editor in Rebecca Young from Scholastic Publishing, who is as excited and delighted by the project as I am, and who works tirelessly, fuelled by tea cake and cups of tea (as do I) to enhance and improve the texts. Keeping sight of the main story over 12 books and keeping this in order, is a huge job and I’m very grateful to her assistance. I’m looking forward to the launch of Book 1, “January”, the first in the series, in October this year.
