I can't believe it but I got a job (a while ago now) in an audio book of Kenneth Oppel's "Skybreaker" playing Nadira.
I'm on my way to Syracuse, NY today (I'm sitting in the airport right now) for 3 weeks to record it. So excited. And again, if anyone fancies dropping by, I'd love to see people.

*waves* Bye! I'm leaving for England once again this evening, after a short stop in Montreal. We've met lovely people in Canada and it's really cold. Mum's sold a lot of books and signed even more- she's currently #3 in NY Times Bestseller List but *crosses fingers* we want her to be #2 this Saturday. Both the US and Canada have been great- or in ( Read more... )

...and I'm in Canada all of a sudden! We stayed Halloween night here and when we went out for dinner, everywhere was deserted- it was like a ghost town. Toronto is very pretty and not as cold as I thought it would be. But one skyscraper is beginning to look much like another. I miss my friends, my Dad, my dog.

Washington was gorgeous and all terribly shiny. We went to this ( Read more... )

Wow! I'm, like, in New York! I've yet to go in a yellow taxi, but I'll undoubtedly get the chance very soon. The publishers flew us First Class! So Mum and I spent the whole time pushing buttons, "ooh, look what this does!" and being thoroughly immature, swivelling round in the chairs and playing. The hotel is rilly pretty too, and huge, with 41 ( Read more... )

Thanks to Shirebound's kind comment, I thought I'd post an idea about Peter Pan.

Mum's going on tour this Friday to America and I get to go with you for, y'know, mental support. She can complain to me about it. She will be promoting her new book, Peter Pan in Scarlet, the sequel commissioned by Great Ormand Street Children's Hospital.
I know it's ( Read more... )

Ailsa's Typical Day.
Sorry, I was messing around and this is the production of it.
