| Just want to share my exciting news!!!!!! Some of you may remember my excitement last year when I had a series of children's novels accepted for publication....well they are now on a website for you all to see! The series is called Confessions of a Fairytale Villain, and there first two are out in October. They are called Cinderella's Not So Ugly Sister and The Big Bad(ish) Wolf. It was so exciting to me to click onto their website and see the actual books with my name on and everything! If you get a chance to take a look the site is www.Wizzbook.com I found out recently that translation rights have been sold in France and Brazil and the publishers are keen to commission more if these, and the next two, do well, so fingers crossed! I just want to thank my YT family for all the support and congrats you gave me last year....I've written short stories for childrens and womens magazines, but to be a novelist is something I have wanted for so long....and now I feel like I can finally say 'I told you so' to the 'friends' and family members who are always telling me to 'give it up and get a proper job' Thanks for letting me share xxx xxx

| Thank you so much They are aimed 9-12 year olds....I'm hoping they will appeal to boys and girls.....but I think the Cinderella one is more 'girly' and the Bad Wolf one is more for the boys

| Thank you Your daughter should just go for it! If I can do it, anyone can! If she wants any information on the best way to go about submitting manuscripts (there are such strict guidelines sometimes its ridiculous!), or advice on approaching agents or publishers I'd be more than happy to help xxx
