As the writer of a chocolatey children’s story, getting an Easter Weekend #1 Bestseller in the charts is the closest I’ll get to being Cliff Richard clocking up a Christmas No 1.
I’m incredible grateful – but don’t worry, I wont start singing!

There are endless children’s authors delightfully gibbering away online at the moment (including myself!), but here’s a fantastic resource providing links to so many. There’s a lot of other fun stuff here too.
Thanks to Books For Topics for compiling this great selection and for including me and my silly book.
Check it out here. Other authors reading parts of their books include Cressida Cowell, Andy Stanton, Andy Shepherd, James Nichol and David Walliams – and many, many more …!
The Generation Lockdown Writing Competition is open to young writers aged between 7 – 17. We’d love to hear about your life in lockdown. That could be a personal experience, poem or a creative story.
All the entries are judged by published authors and I’ll be looking at the 8 year olds category.
The winners will be published in a book and a special prize from Chicken House Books is on offer too! This will also raise funds for The Book Trust.
All the details are on the website. We look forward to reading your entries. So, get writing and the best of luck.
