Yesterday’s shopping
Living in the middle of nowhere, it’s not often I get to go and browse round a bookshop. Yesterday, as luck would have it, I was near a Waterstones, and so I decided to pick up a couple of books for . . . ahem . . . research purposes.

The first post
Okay, so how do I start? I suppose I could start by introducing myself as Barry Hutchison, an author who lives in the Highlands of Scotland, and whose first two children’s books are about to be released by Egmont. But no, too predictable. Maybe I could start by telling you about my fantastic family, and how reading books to my five year old son is what got me into writing for chilldren in the first place. Nah, too corny. Instead …
