I am so excited that Friday Barnes has been nominated for an ABIA (comedy books don’t usually get nominated for things) and best of all, even if I don’t win, I still get to go to the swanky dinner and eat free food!  Note to self – take an extra large handbag for the doggie bag.

Nanny Piggins 4 and 5 will be released in the USA this September!

At long last the remaining books in the Nanny Piggins series are going to be released in America!  They are already available now as ebooks.  The physical books will go on sale later this year.  Book 4, ‘Nanny Piggins and the Accidental Blast-off’ and Book 5, ‘Nanny Piggins and the Rival Ringmaster’ will be available from September 1st.  Book 6 and 7 will be released in November.  Book 8 will be released in January.  They will be released as the Australian editions so the covers will look just like the images here.  They’re already available for pre-order now.  If you’re ordering through your local indepdant bookstore you can tell them that the distributor is Trafalgar Square Publishing.

More store visits!

And there’s a big stack of signed Friday Barnes and Nanny Piggins books at Berkelouws Leichhardt as well.

Thanks also to Bray’s Books in Balmain for their help with today’s school visits.

And thank you to Nicholson St School Balmain. I’m sorry I didn’t get a photo of my visit.  I had a great time.
