Hello,
My best grown up friend Jacqueline Harvey spent an hour this morning talking to a publisher who is visiting Australia from Canada at the Sydney Writers' Festival. Her name is Patsy Aldana and she interviewed Jacqueline to talk about my adventures and lots of other things about writing. Jacqueline told me that she had a great time and really enjoyed meeting lots of new friends.
I'm having a busy week too - helping Jacqueline finish off writing my fourth adventure, Alice-Miranda At Sea. It will be in the shops on the 1st of August.
Have a great week!
Best wishes,
Alice-Miranda xx

Jacqueline Harvey at the Sydney Writers' Festival
Hello,
My best grownup friend Jacqueline Harvey is teaching a workshop tomorrow at the Sydney Writers' Festival which she's very excited about. She's talking to adults about how to write for children. I think it's great when authors ask children what they like to read. It might even help them to write more books that children love. What are the books that you love?
I hope you're having a great weekend.
Best wishes,
Alice-Miranda xx

PLC Open Day and Fair Saturday 7 May
Hello to all my friends,
I am so excited that next Saturday I will be visiting the PLC Open Day and Fair at Croydon with my best grown up friend Jacqueline Harvey and another fantastic children's author, Oliver Phommavanh, who wrote a very funny book called Thai-riffic!
Jacqueline and Oliver will have books for sale and signing at 11.00-12.00 and then again from 1.00-2.00pm. All three of my adventures will be available as well as Jacqueline's earlier Code Name series. If you live in the area we'd love to see you.
Jacqueline and I have been very busy finishing off my next adventure, Alice-Miranda At Sea which launches on 1 August. I can't wait!
Hope to see you next weekend.
Best wishes,
Alice-Miranda
