Greetings from Bali, dear Reader, where I am writing (or drafting, I should say: it is very drafty!) a new middle grade novel, as well as enjoying the beachy goodness, massages and delicious food on offer. (And yoga. I have done yoga too, a fact that may surprise you as much as it surprised both me and my hamstrings) The new novel has the working title ‘ABBA novel’, although so far it does not have very much ABBA in it, to speak of.

Aside from feeling as if I should update this blog from time to time for form’s sake, I also would like to update you on the latest writing news. Which is this piece of wondrousness from Fremantle Press’ clever designer:

Publication is in far off February, but I am delighted to be able to share the cover with you. [Late breaking news! Pub date is now 1 September!]

And if you can’t wait for a sneak peek, here’s a sample.

And if you want the jacket in total (go on, I know you do), here it is:

May May bring you all good things.
