Great day

Had a brilliant morning today at Linghams Booksellers of Heswall, Wirral, with eleven young authors of the future attending my Creative Writing workshop. Every child who attended went away with a story they’d written, more story ideas, free postcards and a signed copy of The Fighting Spirit.

https://www.facebook.com/linghamsbooks/

I am currently taking bookings for workshops for the new school year - see FREE workshops brochure on the Home page at robkeeley.co.uk.

Today has also brought a brilliant advance review from The Bookbag for my new middle-grade book, The Double Life of a Wheelchair User. Read it here. Then see My Stories at robkeeley.co.uk for pre-order links.
