Book table at Heaton Festival

Looking forward to this year’s Heaton Festival where Crafty Publishing will have a book table. We will be selling all of the Young David Books, including the latest, Lonely Prince, as well as hot-off-the press print copies of The Peace Garden, a literary thriller for grown ups. The Peace Garden has been doing very well as an e-book but due to popular demand Crafty Publishing are bringing out a print version. If you can’t get to the festival and still want a copy, you should be able to order through their website by next week. Watch this space!

I was part of the storytelling team at the last Heaton Festival, two years ago, and debuted the first in the Young David series, David and the Hairy Beast. Lots of fun 🙂

David and the Lonely Prince ready to buy!

David and the Lonely Prince will be available to buy from tomorrow! To order your copy visit The Crafty Publishing online shop or put in an order at your local bookshop. David is invited to a sleepover at King Saul’s palace. But will David and the king’s son ever become friends? This is the fourth story in the Young David Picturebook series about the life of the young King David.

Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it?

I never thought I’d ever be able to combine the two loves of my life until cartoonist Chris Bambrough sent me this www.cartoonchris.co.uk . The man knows me far too well! Yes, that is me in the picture. And yes, I love both cheesecake and Pilates.

Life in Apartheid South Africa and my writing life

Commonwealth Prize nominee and Nigerian author Abidemi Sanusi, has recently interviewed me about my book The Peace Garden and what it was like moving to and living in South Africa during the Apartheid 80s. She also asks me about my writing life – among other things!.  It is an honour to share webspace with this talented writer. Thank you Abidemi Sanusi http://www.readywritermag.com/interview-fiona-veitch-smith-author-the-peace-garden/

David and the Lonely Prince off to printer!

I’m delighted that Book 4 in the Young David series – David and the Lonely Prince – is heading to the printers! It will be available from late June, but you can pre-order your copy now at the Crafty Publishing shop or pop in to your local bookshop and ask them to order it for you. Once again it has been a delight working with the talented and extremely humble Amy Barnes. Well done Amy on another beautiful book!

In this latest book in the series, Young David is invited to a sleepover at King Saul’s palace. But will David and the king’s son ever become friends? Prepare yourself for high diving sheep, giant spiral staircases and a right royal game of hide ‘n seek.
