Well, I’m in the last stages of completing a new novel for younger readers. The copy-edit arrived in my inbox on Friday, and I’m raring to go! The book is an action adventure to rival Big Game, and I think you’re all going to like it. I had a lot of fun writing it, following the main character, Ash McCarthy, as he battles through a strange and frightening jungle on a remote island off the coast of Central America – all in the name of saving the world! The book will be out in February, and I’ll post a picture of the front cover very soon!

In the meantime, I have a couple of events line up . . .

I’ll be at Gateshead Central Library at 6pm on October 16, with fellow author Hayley Long. We’ll be talking about writing, life, and anything else you want to talk about. Come along and say ‘Hi!’. For more details, click the image below.

And on Saturday 17th October, I’ll be at the Gosforth Community Book Festival, held at Newcastle School for Boys in Gosforth, Newcastle. Seven Stories will be there to sell books, and there will be a whole host of other authors! I’ll be speaking to groups of eager readers, and when I’m not speaking, I’ll be waiting to meet anyone who wants to come along and chat!

Hopefully I’ll see you at one or other of these events!

That’s all
