Well this month has surely been very busy for Dragonstone! As you all know, I have had two school invites to St Mary's Catholic Primary and Dunkirk Primary Schools in Nottingham. Suffice it to say that the events' were hugely successful. Both sets of school children were fantastic, asking some superb questions about myself and the book. Copies were sold and enthusiastic children started to read.
A previous group of School children from Middleton Primary School, who I met during a library event, invited me back to the school as all were enjoying the story. It was interesting and good to hear that they liked different characters and aspects of the story, though some had not finished it, but were enjoying the journey. In addition, I have also re-visited both St Mary's and Dunkirk schools as more copies were requested - great stuff!
I have recently been in communication with the central library in Nottingham and there is plan for me to visit during the autumn/fall. I will release the details of this as soon as I know.
Below is some teaser marketing promo material for future venues, with more on the way.

(Can I say that since then I have received a dramatic haircut since then and you will probably not even recognise me :) ) https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.527468320647446.1073741826.139139799480302&type=3
I would like to give a huge thank you to all the library managers, teachers, admin and children from all schools, for being so helpful, welcoming and encouraging.
The future is bright for Dragonstone...
