As usual, Sarah McIntyre's blog has gone half way around the world before mine has got its boots on, so here's a link to
her account of our adventures in Oxford last Saturday. As you can see, we completely delighted these young Seawigs fans with our gorgeous singing...

Also, for those who prefer weird contraptions to wigs, we got to have a go on Ted Dewan's amazing Story Loom at the Oxford Story Museum - here's author Philip Ardagh at the controls....

Random question with no relevance to the post- Are you ever going to write anymore young adult books? I really enjoyed the Predator Cities series and the Larklight books (My favorite book by far! I find that it is quite underestimated ); ). I enjoyed them specifically because they are appropriate for a ten year old, but it's also fine for a fourteen year old. Or an adult in many cases! Please do not misinterpret my request for an obnoxious american scree whiny noise, but I would really like some new content for your tween/teen/older people audiences (For I have re-read the Mortal Engines books six times the Larklight books over twelve times :/)

Hello! I got a bit sick of writing the older stuiff, so working on these younger books with McIntyre has been just what I needed. They're not nearly as complex as my earlier books, but I hope older readers could enjoy them too. I do also have a new novel under way, which is closer in scale and tone to Mortal Engines and Fever Crumb, though set in a completely different world. It will be published in 2015 in the UK - I'm not sure about the US release yet. (There are some more details in the next post, but I don't want to talk about it too much this far ahead of publication.) Thanks for reading!
