I've met the Vikings....
Yesterday I went to the Jorvik Viking Centre in York to talk and read to children and their parents. This was all connected to my book - THERE'S A VIKING IN MY BED! If you haven't read it then you'd better start now. It's all about a complete idiot of a Viking called Sigurd and how he ends up living in a seaside hotel in the year 2000. I hope that those who came enjoyed themselves, because I certainly did. What's more, I met up with two LIVE Vikings - Thorfinn and Bjorn. You can see all three of us in the photo.
It was a great session - lots of laughs and a terrific audience. There was one girl near the front who laughed SO loudly! Actually it was more of a witch's cackle! There were lots of books to sign afterwards, and children and parents to meet. Great fun! Then I had to go home, and that meant FIVE HOURS on trains. :-( It was pretty boring I can tell you, so I livened it up by imagining what it would be like to travel on a train full of Vikings. That would be pretty interesting, I think. I'd like to see a ticket inspector asking to see a big, hairy Viking's ticket! And imagine what Sigurd would have made of it!

Can't believe I missed you at York! It's only down the road from me.
I would love to add some of your fantastic books to my reading and writing scheme for children. Please do take a look at the website (which is currently being updated with more recommended books) and let me know if you would like to be involved. I think your books are exactly what the children need!
Many thanks,
