I met two Ghost Goblin fans during my visit to Chandlings School, Abingdon a few weeks back. I have since been sent these great pictures. I present to you William and Thomas Kent. Or rather: Butt-Knuckle (top), and Cold Jack (bottom). And the great thing is – they’re twins!

HEY!
Remember the deal? Remember how we poor, captive TBM authors only get fed if we write posts for the blog? Well: I know my posts last week were all from my new book Crawlers, but after putting up FIVE of them I was hoping at least to be given something decent to eat for a [...]
I can’t wait for this one!
Yet another book is on the way from the author of my favourite YA book ‘Mortal Engines’. Philip Reeve does seem to play with lots of topics that fascinate me. Having spent 21 years flying jets, I’m very much looking forwards to his next book, A Web of Air …
A failed escape!
Like Barry and Tommy, I found myself shipped off to Glasgow for the Aye Write Festival. Alas, we were not only separated by hotels but also by days – apparently having the three of us together on the same day is a security threat. However, I heard very good things about Tommy and Barry’s sessions [...]

Patience
I like to think of myself as a patient person. But I expect patience is one of those things like driving, where we all think we’re above average, but we can’t possibly all be above average, can we? In the last 12 months I’ve had to learn that patience is a huge part of being [...]

World Book Day Dragon!
It turns out that the mass break out of authors from the cave last week had been carefully stage-managed by the monsters. They were waiting for us everywhere we went. Despite scattering across the country, racing from school to school in an effort to escape, it was all to no avail. They were way ahead [...]
