Peter
Pan Week 26th - 30th April |
||||||||
|
||||||||
|
||||||||
|
||||||||
It's
a really important Peter Pan Week this year, because 2010 is the
150th birthday of J M Barrie. (Who says you can't still have a
birthday when you're dead?) So dress up as Peter Pan on Friday
30 April become a record breaker and give old Jim the birthday
present he would have liked best. |
||||||||
9th
May is the actual Barrie Birthday. He was born in Kirriemuir in
Scotland, and I've been invited to go up there and help mark the
occasion. I'll be signing books seated at the great man's very
own desk! What a thrill! |
||||||||
| I'm going
up to the Norwegian Literature Festival 24-29 May. It will be held
in Lillehammer, where
the Winter Olympics were held in 1994. It's also near the place where
Peer Gynt is supposed to have lived. Now there's a story I've always
meant to retell... Go to www.litteraturfestival.no if you want to see how seriously they take their reading in Norway! |

Jeg
skal være på Lillehammer

fortellinger, www.litteraturfestival.no Jeg

noen av mine norske lesere. |

An October launch date has
been set for my next novel. 'Pull Out All The Stops' (unless you
are in America, when it will take a bit longer). I had such amazing
fun writing it, I really hope someone else is going to enjoy it too.
It's a follow up to 'Stop The Train', and sees Cissy and Cookie meet
up once again with the Bright Lights Theatre Company, this time aboard
a derelict paddle steamer. Join them for a 'white water' ride down
the Missouri River. |
