White Pine and Festival of Trees!

Just a fantastic day at OLA Forest of Reading Festival of Trees. What an amazing job everyone involved does in putting this celebration of literacy on!

For up to the minute (well, up to the minute at the time) updates, check out my Twitter feed.

I was very excited to be selected a White Pine Honour Book and be in such great company with all the other fantastic authors. Richard Scarsbrook took top honours with The Monekyface Chronicles. Kudos to Richard. It was really great meeting him and all the other authors. Thanks in particular to Natale Ghent author of Gravity Brings Me Down, who kept me entertained and informed throughout the entire White Pine proceedings.

Here are some quick snaps my wife and I took. It doesn’t even come close to capturing how special the day was. Just loved spending time with all these readers. It was something I will never forget. If you look closely at the pictures of the stage you can see me, third from the left. Afterwards, I was swarmed by autograph seekers which was super fun. So glad so many people enjoyed the book!
