Archie is officially launching!

I didn’t have any choice about where I came from but where I go next is up to  me and I’m going to make it somewhere really great. Someone has to  make it into space and Dad’s right – why shouldn’t it be me?

So says Archie Nolan at the end of my children’ s book: Archie Nolan: Family Detective so it seems appropriate that Archie’s book will have a proper ‘launch’ next week. There probably won’t be any astronauts or rockets in Waterstones but there will be wine and friends and I’m looking forward to celebrating. If you’re able, please come and celebrate with me either in London on Monday 16th November or in Sheffield (where the book is set) on Wednesday 18th November.

I’ll also be discussing the process of writing Archie and why fiction works so well asa tool for helping children to understand the sometimes complex issues that they face at the NAWE conference in Durham this weekend. Looking forward to catching up with colleagues and getting some new inspiration for my own work.
