I hope you’ve been enjoying your Easter holiday, Detectives! I’ve been on my travels around the country again this week, visiting Milton Keynes and Portsmouth for two very fun and special Easter holiday events.

In Milton Keynes, booksellers Nikki and Vicky made me bunbreak and laid out a beautiful display that included a Deepdean uniform. I got to meet lots of amazing fans, one of whom had even made a Robin Stevens t-shirt that she asked me to sign!

In Portsmouth I was given my own special Robinccino, and booksellers Charis and Fiona actually themed their outfits and nails to match A Spoonful of Murder! One fan dressed up as a Deepdean girl, too, which was brilliant.

It was so wonderful to meet you all, and to say thank you to the awesome people who sell my books every day. I’ve got more events coming up over the next few months, so don’t worry if you didn’t get the chance to meet me this week. I’ll be in Listowel and Cork in Ireland at the beginning of June, and Rimini in Italy in the middle of June, and I’ve also got UK events planned for the summer – keep checking my calendar for details!
