Hi, Katie S. Welcome.
Nice to see you posting here, and I'm really pleased to hear that you're enjoying my books so much. I'm afraid I don't really remember that many faces from my visit to your school - the visits kind of blur into one after a while. I did a huge number of them this year, though I remember your school quite well. Your librarian and I have known each other for some years now. She used to be the librarian at a school in Abingdon when I first met her.
If Jason is the person I sent a free copy of Imperial Spy, then I do vaguely remember him, but if not, then I'm afraid he's blurred as well.
However, do say hello back to him for me. I'm sure I'll be back to visit again at some time in the future, so you may yet get a chance to pluck up a bit more courage and come and talk with me properly. I don't bite, you know!
I hope you're going to try out the Dragon Orb books next year. There's already lots of exciting news about it quietly building up in the background, but I'm not allowed to reveal much at the moment, so I'm going to have to bite my tongue for now. Let's just say that I'm really looking forwards to hearing what people think of it. I believe the first in the series is the best story I've written so far, so I'm confident it will be well received.
Have a great 2008 and I look forwards to chatting here (at least) with you again soon.
