The second part of my Top Marks October Tour: London, Belfast and Dublin!

October 24, 2019

I’ve been travelling again, trying to meet as many of you as possible and talk about my books!

Last week I spoke at a panel event in London’s Waterstones Piccadilly called ‘Returning to Other Worlds’, about authors continuing well-known stories (to find out more about the other authors and books on the panel, I discussed them all in my October YouTube video!), I visited three schools around London, and then I travelled to Belfast and Dublin to hold public signings at Eason’s, an Irish bookstore. I’m very tired but very happy!

Below are some pictures from my events – I had the most wonderful time, and as always, I really hope that if you came along to any of them, you did too!

I do have a few more events this year, at the end of November – I’ll be announcing them in the next few days. If you live near Durham, Manchester and Sheffield, I think you’ll be very pleased!
