I’ve just had a lovely time doing author events in three local Waterstones stores in Hertfordshire. First I read Professor McQuark and the Oojamaflip to the children, and then we made some crazy crafts that the professor would be proud of! It’s so exciting even just being in a Waterstones – the buzz of having famous authors whispering to each other in the shelves, the enthusiasm and passion of the staff, the tantalising new titles laid out just begging to be bought… bliss! It was hard not to go on a splurge and I finally caved in at the last visit and bought my daughter some cracking young adult titles including a signed Rainbow Rowell – what a find!
Thank you to all the children who came to St Albans, Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield Waterstones stores – you were stars and Professor McQuark is very proud of your gadgety glasses and extraordinary oojamaflips!
Hi Lou, What a wonderful email! You continue to be a smashing inspiration! My own book is gathering attention and I’d not have even gotten near to where I am were it not for you and your help! Adam

That’s a result! Congratulations
