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.
Skyfleet: March of the Mutabugs Launch
I had an exciting day at Grange Primary School with the P5/6 class for the launch of Skyfleet: March of the Mutabugs! We looked at the story setting of the New World where radiation caused the wildlife to mutate, and examined some magnified bugs to get an idea of how big the insects were that Amberley, Ric and the Skyfleet had to face! Then we discussed the Skyfleet pilots and talked about character descriptions, with four volunteers dressing up as Rake Raffish, Screwball Sydney, Hana Nakata and Jericho Tarick.
Finally, we had a look at the design of the Skyfleet planes, had a flying competition to see who the best glider ‘pilot’ was, and finished with a challenge for pupils to design their own planes. It was a fun day full of mutant bugs, aeroplane designs and gliding contests, dressing up, and of course, cake!
