I spent the morning at Killarney Heights Primary School, talking to the children there about Puggle's Problem and Totally Twins. The students and staff were an absolute delight. KHPS is a bilingual school, students are taught to speak English and French and the school is located in the most beautiful spot: quiet, suburban, secluded but with shops, the high school and a recreation oval right nearby. Ah, Killarney Heights is a dream!
Last night saw the official launch of Totally Twins, which was held at Berkelouw Books, Balgowlah. We had around 100 people turn out to help Serena (illustrator for the series) and I celebrate the birth of our new book. The bookstore was absolutely packed, there was a great vibe and I had a wonderful time. It takes an awful lot of energy to plan these events, though, so I am quite glad the festivities are now over!
I'm off to Bookfeast, organised by Michael Fraser, tomorrow at Burwood. Can't wait!
TTFN
