I am about to begin my book tour to promote I Am Grimalkin, the ninth book in the main Wardstone Chronicles series. I will be talking and signing in schools, libraries and bookshops. The main areas I will be visiting are: Bristol, South Wales, London, Paris and, of course, quite a few towns in Lancashire.

I will be in Paris on 7th and 8th October. Events are being arranged by my French publisher, Bayard. I hope to meet lots of readers there.
