Author of the Month

My new book Deep Deep Down is now out and no doubt I will be talking about it with the pupils of Wellington College, Belfast, when I visit them on December 14th. Thank you to Tanja Jennings, librarian at Wellington, who has made me the school’s author of the month.


Rebecca Cullen's winning monster.

I first visited this school to be part of the Northern Irish heat of the Kid’s Lit Quiz. As part of this competition I offered one of my own drawings as a prize to the artist producing the most exciting sea monster. You can see my drawing and find out more about the Kid’s Lit Quiz on the last entry on this blog. Above is the winning piece of art, below is the runner up. I hope the Rebecca Cullen is enjoying her prize and has maybe hung it up somewhere.


Rebecca Jones came second.
