The monsters allowed me out for several days to do a series of school visits. My cunning plan, to do a runner, was thwarted when I discovered there was water in every direction. They had released me on the Channel Island of Jersey – there was no escape!
I decided to makes the most of it, and had a thoroughly wonderful time – all under the sickly yellow eyes of my monster warden. However, I did discover a ray of joy – a Jersey based website that offers weekly jokes, podcasts and comic strips. It kept me sane (well, as sane as can be expected under the circumstances) You can check it out at:
Whilst I was there, ITV news tracked me down and did a piece on me. They ignored my cries for help, and thought my tales of being trapped by monsters where the ramblings of a madman. Instead they asked me about my books. You can see it here…

Wow! That’s the first time I’ve seen you, in months, in daylight! You’ve gone a bit yellow, but otherwise you don’t look too bad… How did your monster guard make it through airport security?!

The guards hide in my socks… and the yellowish complexion is because I have to live in a particularly smelly part of the cave!
