Grim Hill Series

To my delight, I’ve been getting a lot of emails asking if there is a book six to t he Grim Hill series. Yes, I’m excited to say, there is.
I’m hoping it will be coming out before too long in 2012. And of course the last book is always my favourite book – so I’m super hyped about this one! There’s no cover yet.

In the meantime, look what a very dear person, Mariana Garcia has done. She had a friend of hers who is a doll-maker make these Cat dolls for me from The Secret of Grim Hill, The Secret Deepens, and The Forgotten Secret.
I think they are totally awesome!!!

Winter 2011
Winter for me is always a quiet time – bad weather lures me to my writing desk and I escape into my imagination. But it doesn’t last.
March is coming and spring is going to be a busy time. I’ll be travelling to Abbotsford and Port Alberni in B.C. to meet students and have book chats – which is always super fun. And wait for it…I’ll be heading to New Brunswick for the TD Canadian Children’s Book Tour in May. It’s been a life-long wish to visit the Maritimes and I’m looking forward to it.
