Event-a-palooza

Author: Barry | Filed under: Events, Invisible Fiends

Just got back from Kilchuimen Primary School in the Highlands, where I spent the day running story-writing workshops and helping them generate ideas for a short story anthology the whole school is putting together. It was a great day, with lots of fantastic ideas whizzing around, and I can’t wait to read the finished stories.

The school visit today is just one of a whole heap of events I have coming up over the next few weeks. I’m visiting two more schools this week, then a library next week, then another school the week after. Then I’m doing four different events over two days in Glasgow and Edinburgh, before shooting waaaay up to Thurso in the north of Scotland for another school event.

Then, in March, I have another library visit followed by two events at the Aye Write festival in Glasgow. Then it’s a nervous breakdown, before I get stuck into more events in April and a tour in May.

It’s all very exciting, but possibly the most exciting thing is that I’m at Aye Write on the same day as this cuddly comedy legend.

Four words: I. Am. Not. Worthy.

In other news, there are just 14 days until the German edition of Invisible Fiends: Mr Mumbles is published. Huzzah!

    You on the same day as this not so cuddly legend:http://www.ayewrite.com/Families-And-Kids/Events/davidleesmagic_familiesandkids.htm

    Looks a bit like a character from Invisible Fiends especially ‘adorable Robbie’

    Wow. I think you just found a seventh book for the series.

    “Ooh, cheeky monkey. Cheeky, cheeky monkey!”

    The same day and same time in the same venue, no less. We’ll be shouting over each other, fighting over audience shares.
