Ready, Steady, Write

I'm starting this blog mainly because children keep nagging me to do it. I was even reproached by a gang of young girls in Amsterdam recently. "We found your books on Amazon but you don't have your own site." I always thought it enough to appear on my publishers' official websites but how twentieth century could you get? Everyone has their own site nowadays, including my mother's best friend who does nothing more exciting than collect snails for a local restaurant [I kid you not].

Of course, now that I've gone to the trouble of setting up this site, I have no idea what to put on it. Information about my new books would be an obvious thing, and I've already put in details about the agency that books me for school visits. Perhaps I'll include links to friends' pages, and also reviews of books that I read. Hey, I've only been blogging for a couple of hours [well, five if you include the time it took me to choose the right template and download two pics] and I'm starting to like it. Know how to download a visitor counter, anyone?
