Well, it's an exciting time here in my small writing room in the untamed hills of North Yorkshire. My second children's novel, Prankenstein vs Yankenstein is now in the shops (see previous post) and this morning yet another new book popped through the letterbox - an advance copy of the next title in THE SILLY BOOK series. This one is a book of wordplay and is full of excellent jokes, funnies, tongue-twisters, rhymes and witty word games. You can pre-order here.
