Fantastic weekend!

Image
On Saturday 30th November, I represented City Writers at Discovery Point's Christmas Market. Many thanks to everyone who came along and bought a copy of Captain Kit.  On Sunday 1st December, I supported Kit at Battle in the Burgh. Delighted that he won each of the three first round fights with a knock-out. Unfortunately, he was beaten in the round of 16, and during the first round of the team fights. Amazing day though!  Read more about the event at Kit's blogger page  Team Fission Combat Robotics

Canongate Primary school visit

Had my first ever school visit today at Canongate Primary School. It was wonderful to have an event during Book Week Scotland . The P1 pupils enjoyed hearing me read Captain Kit. They then decorated swords and pirate ships. Kit then talked about his combat robot, Exposure, and showed them videos of his fights at Robodojo . Fantastic afternoon!

Had a fantastic time at Auchterarder Book Festival today. It was lovely to catch up with Maggie Bolton. I read the story out to a group of children and then they decorated wooden swords. I even sold some copies!

Exciting weekend!

So proud of Kit. He competed at RoboDojo in York yesterday, and Exposure came 2nd in the tournament! The video is of Exposure beating Bulbaroar.  Today, I joined other authors at Forgan's Broughty Ferry for a book signing event.

New, improved Exposure

Kit's been working hard improving his combat robot. His latest design is amazing. Kit will be competing at RoboDojo in York on Saturday 2nd November. Find out more about his project at https://kitscombatrobots.blogspot.com/ All proceeds from sales of Captain Kit go towards the combat robot.
