Today, as well as the rather less pressing matter of a general election, is the official publication day of my new book for 8 - 12 year old readers. 'HOW TO SPEAK SPOOK (AND STAY ALIVE)'
Donald, eleven, might find school difficult, (he last got an achievement certificate 5 years ago... for putting his shoes on fairly quickly) but there is something he is very good at...
Talking to ghosts... it's a good job as his dad has been dead for 8 years but is STILL HERE.
Donald, his un-best friend Merry and the crazy Danny Olini track down the source of a ferocious force that is ravaging the Jurassic coast. But who is hunting who?
'HOW TO SPEAK SPOOK' has bad jokes, foul tempered spirits, singing ghosts, deadly action, foolish vicars and a very short-sighted mother.
I hope you like it!
No, actually I hope you LOVE it!
