The Tygrine Cat

I can’t remember the last time I read an animal story. It seems I’ve been missing out. If The Tygrine Cat is a typical example of this genre, then I’ll have to look out some more. Mati is a cat, but he’s no ordinary cat. He is special – the last of his race. Young [...]

ALI GETS HER BADGE

Ever since my brother and sister, Adam and Nicki, got one each for their brilliant poster entry, I’ve nursed a brooding need. Where was MY Blue Peter badge, eh?

Look Out Monsters, I’m Getting Serious!

I snuck out of the cave last night to take my final club level exam at Tae Kwon Do. Assuming I passed, I will be entitled to wear a ‘black tag’ belt from now on. I aim to take my full black belt in Bristol in the Autumn. My examiner for the evening was Master [...]

Picture This

One of the questions I’m most frequently asked is whether I draw the illustrations for my Scream Street books – and the answer is always a resounding NO!  I have all the artistic ability of a teaspoon.  My publishers, Walker Books, however knew of a very talented artist by the name of Lily Bernard who [...]
