Happy holidays, Detectives!
I know most of you are out of school now (for those of you who aren’t, I am So Sorry. The end is coming soon, I promise!). I’ve done my last school visit of the year, so I feel a little bit like I’m on holiday too. All I have to do is hand in the third draft of Book 6 next week, and then I can properly relax! If you’re looking for book recommendations, by the way, have you seen my YouTube channel?
I’m gearing up for my big Guggenheim Mystery tour in August (if you haven’t heard about this, you have clearly not signed up to my newsletter yet. When you do, you get a printable Detective Society pledge PLUS exclusive access to news, events and book extracts, so what are you waiting for?!). I’m going to be travelling to bookshops all over the country to meet you and sign copies of my books. I can’t wait!
It’s funny to say goodbye to Murder Most Unladylike for a while (don’t worry, it’s only for a while!). For the next few months I’m going to be all about The Guggenheim Mystery – look out for me at the Bath Festival in October (and more, yet to be announced!).
It was lovely that my last Cream Buns and Crime events this year went so well. I went to the CBBC Summer Social in Manchester on the 8th of July and spoke to loads of amazing fans. Some of my favourite pictures are below …





Oh, and by the way, if you’re a CBBC viewer, keep your eyes peeled. I’ve heard from some of my spies on the ground (ahem, followers on Instagram) that I’ve been spotted there recently. I was interviewed last month about The Guggenheim Mystery, and about writing and books in general – so don’t be surprised if you see me on your TVs! It’s going to be an exciting summer …
