Northern Ireland Book Award... and shoes.

Next week I'm off to Northern Ireland to 
promote the publication of my first fiction 
book
The Brilliant World Of Tom Gates. 
OUT 4th APRIL YEAH!
I've also been asked to announce the winner for the 
Northern Ireland Book Award. 

I'm very excited! (I don't get out much.)
GOOD LUCK  to all the authors. It's a fantastic book list.


I'm thinking that I should celebrate the publication of Tom Gates in same way Jacqueline Wilson does. She buys herself a piece of jewelry for every book. How about I get a pair of shoes..(and a handbag..and maybe some earrings?)Might have to settle for something a little less pricey.

Nice though aren't they?

Sun and mice are out...

Hey look what I found on the steps to my shed.
Cute, as long as it's not actually a small rat?
Not sure. It didn't seem very concerned about
me approaching it. Enjoying the sun I think.
(For now.)

Some days I really love my job... 
(This is actually work, honestly.)
Introducing The Bodge Brothers
(Who are rubbish at everything.)
They will be appearing in Tom Gates
own Blog on a regular bases.

The Bodge Brothers (rubbish at everything.)

use it today.
