It has been an eventful few days, all in all.

On Tuesday, I paid a visit to Fort William RC Primary, where I ran my storywriting workshop for a few classes.  They were a great bunch, full of ideas, and I was made to feel very welcome by everyone.  A local photographer popped in to take some pics, so as soon as I can get my grubby mitts on one, I’ll post it here.  Unless I look dead fat, or that, in which case I’ll say all the photos were burned in a fire.

EDIT:  The photo arrived.  I do look quite fat, and my hair appears to have been sculpted from rigid plastic, but I’m posting it anyway.

Yesterday, I was given my first glimpse of the cover for INVISIBLE FIENDS: MR MUMBLES.  It’s absolutely brilliant – a stunning piece of artwork in its own right – and I’m not lying when I say the image of Mr Mumbles cropped up in my nightmares last night!  Amazingly creepy art by the amazingly talented Jonny Duddle.  I’ll be revealing the cover here as soon as I can, so keep checking back to see it for yourself.

I also found out some more interesting info recently – about a foreign rights sale, and a possible change of publishing date (meaning the book would come out a bit sooner than February 2010).  Can’t say too much about it at the minute, though, so you’ll just have to wait for that, too!
