SUPPORT A GREAT CAUSE!
Would you like to help raise funds for the Scottish Refugee Council? If you buy one of my specially crocheted fox keyrings from Etsy, then all money will be donated to the Scottish Refugee Council to support their work helping those who have come to Scotland in search of a safer home.
Each fox keyring comes mounted on a glossy postcard with The Fox Girl and the White Gazelle Cover on the front. These make great little ethical gifts, and if you buy the book then twenty percent of my author royalties are also donated to the Scottish Refugee Council. So head to Amazon, Waterstones, Floris Books, or one of the independent bookstores like Hive, to order your copy today and help support a great cause.
The War of the Wind Book launch took place at St Ninian’s High School in East Dunbartonshire on 22nd September 2022. The S1s attended a book talk assembly in the hall, while the S2 joined me for an author talk afterwards in the library.
As well as encouraging pupils to read and write stories of their own, the pupils were introduced to the characters and themes of the book, as well as looking at story structure and plotting. Pupils got the chance to learn the BSL fingerspelling alphabet, find out more about wind turbines, and try to crack some secret codes!
The library hosted a special ‘Meet the Author’ signing event over lunchtime – it was great to meet so many enthusiastic young readers and writers!
