Hoping this will help me get 1500 words written today. There’s nothing wrong with using performance enhancing vitamin drinks to write children’s books is there? I hope no-one from the CBCA turns up wanting to check my pee.

Coming up with cover ideas for PESKI KIDS 2.

The council kindly put a height chart outside our house.

Getting stuck in to writing PESKI KIDS 2. I’m trying to be better organised with plotting for this book. I actually wrote an outline! You’d think that after 18 books I’d have a better idea what I was doing.

FRIDAY BARNES, DANGER AHEAD has been shortlisted for the YABBA awards! Thank you to everyone who voted and congratulations to all the other nominees. #kidsrockdemocracy

There are many downsides to having a mother who is an author. One upside is you get the coolest swimming bag at the pool! (Note - my idea of ‘coolest’ may differ wildly to everyone else’s.)

Thanks to everyone who wrote in for a booklet. I’m putting them in the post now. If you missed out, there will be thousands distributed to bookshops throughout Australia during the coming months. So keep your eyes peeled for them.
