She is the author of 14 novels for younger readers and a picture book, THE SOUND OF THE SEA, which was awarded Honour Book in the 2006 Children’s Book Council Awards.

Come and join me for the launch of Alice-MIranda In Paris

Hello Friends,
I am so excited that we are having a huge launch for my 7th adventure, Alice-Miranda In Paris on Saturday 16 March, 12-2pm in Sydney.  The details are all on the flyer below.  You have to book tickets and they are limited.  I can't wait to see everyone.  There will be lots of yummy treats, as well as competitions and even a chance to be in a fashion parade.
I've been busy overseas in England, Scotland and now Singapore with my best grown up friend Jacqueline Harvey for the past three weeks. I'll be home soon and am really looking forward to the launch.
Stay tuned for some fun photos from the tour.
Lots of love,
Alice-Miranda xx

New friends in England!

Hello Friends,

I am so excited to be travelling with my best grown up friend, Jacqueline Harvey to London and other parts of England and Scotland in February to launch my third and fourth adventures, Alice-Miranda Takes the Lead and Alice-Miranda At Sea with the fabulous Random House Children's Publications in the UK.  As you can see I was all packed and ready to leave a few days ago and now we are in chilly London.  Tomorrow we will be meeting new friends at Charlotte House School and then I'm so thrilled to be visiting Sarum Hall school again on Tuesday as I have lots of friends there already.  I will be writing about our travels as often as I can. 

When we get home to Australia, my seventh adventure, Alice-Miranda In Paris will launch in March and at the moment we are busy working on the eighth which is called, Alice-Miranda Shines Bright.

Hope you're enjoying a lovely weekend.

Lots of love,
Alice-Miranda xxx
