Last week saw the official launch events for my new horror book – INVISIBLE FIENDS: MR MUMBLES. I spent a few days touring schools, talking to enormous groups of children, signing books, and generally having a fab time.
One of the events took place at the Scottish Book Trust in Edinburgh, with pupils from three schools shipped in specially for the occasion.
It was probably my favourite event of the lot. Everyone was really eager, with lots of great questions. They even laughed at my jokes. Trust me, that’s a very rare thing indeed.
One of the organisers – the lovely Chris Newton at Scottish Book Trust – sent me over a few photos from the event. Scroll down to see some of them, and get a glimpse of the banner the wonderful people at HarperCollins had produced for me.

Clicking any of the pictures will make them larger, by the way. Probably should have mentioned that before.

Oooooooooh. Loveleeeee banner. Banner envy is now sweeping the caves, along with magical first book launch envy. Well done Baz, also, on such a neatly pressed shirt. Nobody would ever guess it was laundered by Gutseeper Guffchuff using her own saliva and laying still on it for three days to get it nice and smooth. She’s like your mum these days, isn’t she?

Fantastic pictures. Wish I could have been there – but Drumnob the Special had me cleaning his toenails that day. All 143 of them.
