If you haven’t been able to get to a bookshop and buy FRIDAY BARNES 11, LAST CHANCE yet (perhaps because school has inconveniently restarted and is cutting into your reading schedule, or perhaps because you foot is caught in a giant clam in rapidly rising tidal water) you can listen to the first two chapters on my podcast! Then when you escape school/the giant clam - rush to your local bookstore to buy a copy and read the rest.

FRIDAY BARNES 11 went on sale today. Hooray!!! But people are freaking out that it’s the last book in the series because it’s called FRIDAY BARNES, LAST CHANCE. Please rest assured it is just a title there will be a 12th book. I am starting work on it next month. So if there are any Friday Barnes fans rioting in your street please tell them - the series has not ended. Stop tipping over police cars and setting fire to dumpsters. Go home to your families and read the book. Xoxo R.A.

Thank you everyone who made the launch for FRIDAY BARNES 11, LAST CHANCE such a success. It doesn’t get any better than selling out a whole theatre and having to put on a extra show for all the fans. Aside from the 2 hours of talking, I spent a total of 2 hours and 20 minutes signing books and I loved meeting you all. Thank you everyone for being so patient and gracious about waiting in line. (The person who was last in the line for the first show actually read the entire book in the 80 minutes she was waiting. Fortunately, she loved it!) Thank you State Library of Victoria, thank you Readings SLV for selling all the books and most of all - thank you to my two long suffering daughters for being my stage managers/ushers/name spellers and emotional supporters throughout the whole epic day.

Thank you to everyone who came along to the launches for FRIDAY BARNES, LAST CHANCE today. It was such an amazing turn out and so much fun performing for you all. Thank you to all the young readers for bringing your excitement and enthusiasm. And thank you to the grown ups for brining the young readers, sometimes great distances to see the show.

I’m all packed to fly to Melbourne for the launch of FRIDAY BARNES, LAST CHANCE tomorrow at the State Library of Victoria. If you want to come, there are still tickets available for the 3pm show. Go to eventbrite.com to snap them up. I can’t wait to see you all and tell you about the book - I have so many cool stories!

Not sure if this sign is a warning or suggested dance moves.
