Hello Friends,
I can't believe that it's 2012 already. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas - I spent it with all of the people I love the best in the world; Mummy and Daddy, Aunt Charlotte and Uncle Lawrence, Granny, Mrs Oliver, Shilly, Max, Mr and Mrs Greening, Heinrich and Lily and of course Poppy and Jasper. Daisy and Granny Bert were there too - and Granny was dancing with Daddy to funny old Christmas tunes. The only people who were missing were Millie and Jacinta but they spent Christmas with their families and we did catch up for New Year. I've recently had the most amazing adventure in New York City and in less than a month you'll be able to read all about it, when Alice-Miranda In New York hits the shops. My best grown up friend, Jacqueline Harvey is busy making arrangements for a very exciting launch - so please come back again soon for all the details. I can't wait, because later this year the Winchesterfield Village Show is on and we're all hoping that Miss Grimm might allow the girls to go for the first time ever - that would be fantastic.
See you soon.
Lots of love,
Alice-Miranda xoxox

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

Visiting Camden South Primary School Fete
Hello Friends,
Next Saturday my best grown up friend Jacqueline Harvey is visiting her old Primary School, Camden South Public School to be a guest at their fete. She is hoping to meet lots of my friends and will be there from 11.30am to sign books. She is very excited to go back and see what the school looks like and maybe even catch up with some of her old friends too. All of my stories will be on sale. I've found an old school photo of Jacqueline from Year 4 which I've pasted below - I wonder if you can work out which one she is?
I hope you're having a great weekend. Jacqueline and I have been very busy working on a new story.
Best wishes,
Alice-Miranda xx

Alice-Miranda is in Indonesia
Hello Friends,
I am so excited that recently my first two adventures have been published in Indonesia. I've already made quite a few lovely friends from there and my best grown up friend Jacqueline Harvey is enjoying getting emails from new readers. Unfortunately my Bahasa is lacking and so I can't read these stories myself but from what the Indonesian readers have said they seem to be enjoying the books. The covers are gorgeous. I have posted copies of them here. I have lots of photos as girls dressed as Alice-Miranda for Book Week which I will post as soon as I make sure that the parents are fine with having their daughters' pictures up. I hop
e you have a great week.
e you have a great week.
Lots of love,
Alice-Miranda xx
PS I have some really big news to share soon - but I can't tell just yet!
