A new adventure is on its way!


Hello Friends,
I have been a little quiet on my blog lately because I've been terribly busy helping my best grown up friend Jacqueline Harvey finishing my latest adventure, Alice-Miranda In New York. It's almost done and I can't wait until it comes out in Australia in February next year. It seems like a way off but when I think about it, it's less than four months. Time flies! New York was great fun and there were lots of unexpected adventures - it truly is the most amazing city. I can give you a sneak peak of the cover. That's me in Central Park - which really must be the best park in the whole world.
Have a wonderful week!
Lots of love,
Alice-Miranda xxx
