Best-Crime-Mystery1Hello readers! I have lots of exciting news to tell you about. On Monday, Murder Most Unladylike won two Book Blogger UKYA Awards – for Best Crime/Mystery and Best Friendship.

I’ve also been blogging:

– At Mugglenet, discussing why I think that Harry Potter is a crime series.

– At Girls Heart Books, talking about why we love reading detective novels so much.

And if you’d like to see me in person, you’re in luck!

– On October 14th, I’ll be speaking at a SCBWI Professionals event, about what authors and illustrators should expect from the publishing journey – what their publishers will do for them, and what they should be doing for themselves.

– On November 8th, at 1pm, I’ll be at Waterstones Cambridge to talk about Murder Most Unladylike, sign copies of the book and help you create your very own top secret Detective Society.

– On November 15th, at 4pm, I’ll be at Tower Hamlets’ WriteIdea Festival to introduce Tanya Byrne, author of Follow Me Down and Heart-Shaped Bruise.

So please, come see me if you’re in the area! Happy October to you all.
