My Young David Books are now out in South Korean, published by Life Press. If any of you have friends or family who speak Korean (and might have some children they would like to buy these for) please let them know! I’m so chuffed 🙂 (Would love to say that in Korean, but don’t know how.) And congratulations too to illustrator Amy Warmington (and her husband Andy) who have just given birth to a little boy. We grow Young David fans organically around here 😉
This morning for World Book Day I spoke to Ian Britton of Premier Radio about my love for books and whether or not it’s ever too late to start reading for pleasure. The pic is of me last year on World Book Day at Knop Law Primary school, reading David and the Giant. Click here to hear the 3 minute interview.
Mothers’ Day in the UK is early this year. Sunday 6 March. How about giving your mum or mum-in-law a signed copy of one of my novels. ‘The Peace Garden’ is a romantic thriller set alternately in England and Apartheid South Africa. ‘The Jazz Files’ is a mystery set in 1920s London against the background of the Suffragettes. The Peace Garden is a slightly ‘edgier’ read. The Jazz Files slightly lighter. If you would like more information on what the books are about, click on the images on the right hand side of this page under ‘Fiona’s books’. I can sign to your mother of choice and post off to you. £10 inclusive of P&P. Message me if you’re interested.
It’s been a few months since I made the promo film for Poppy Denby’s debut in The Jazz Files. If you want to see it pop over to www.poppydenby.com However, that’s exactly what I’m talking about in my guest article on the Crime Readers’ Association blog. That and a dead ferret called Arthur.
A grand ending to 2015 with The Jazz Files being listed in the top 10 books of the year by Rather Too Fond of Books blogspot and being put on the favourite books of all time shelf! Happy New Year everyone from me and Poppy 🙂 You can see the top 10 books here.
I’m going on tour with The Jazz Files! But this time I don’t have to worry about forgetting my underwear (which friends will know I’m notorious for!) It’s a blog tour, starting today on Whispering Stories. The rest of the tour is listed below. I do hope to bump into some of you on my travels 🙂
