Silver Birch Express

I’m off to Toronto on Monday for the Forest of Reading Festival. Feather Brain has been nominated for the Silver Birch Express, so I get to take part in the awards ceremony, sign books, give a workshop on “What If? – Where Ideas Come From”, and drive up to Uxbridge with some Toronto writers for a school event.

I’ll report back on the all the excitement when I get home.
