Look what I’ve been reduced to, a few dry biscuits for lunch by myself while mum is gallivanting around London. It’s all very well for these authors off drinking champagne and whatnot when their new book comes out, but what about us pets? Next you’ll be telling me I’ve got to take myself for a walk, the humiliation

48 hours until DIRTY TRICKS hits the shelves and the bonk bus is back on the road. Tomorrow we’re hitting the streets of London – quite literally with my terrible driving – to spread the word. Look out for a wild-eyed woman behind the wheel of a bright pink double decker shouting ‘Bonk on’ at the top of her voice. At least that’s what I’m hoping.

Disgraced myself today when mum’s editor came all the way from London to see us on the train. I got so excited seeing a new face I weed all over the floor. Mum had a word in my shell-like and said we were trying to make a good impression and what would people think? She was totally overreacting as normal, wasn’t like I splash-bombed anyone’s feet or anything…

They’ll be saying it in the corridors of Buckingham Palace before the week’s out

Here I am, on the eve of publication week for the fourth Churchminster series, DIRTY TRICKS. I love this week more than Christmas, after all those months of writing and being squirrelled away, I get to be unleashed onto the unsuspecting public. We’ve got lots of lovely press lined up and a Girls Night In event with fellow Transworldian author Sarra Manning. To top it all off, a glamorous champagne lunch courtesy of my fabulous publishers! Cue lots of champagne flutes being crashed, sorry clinked together. I may even get a bit emotional (man)

Join Jo Carnegie and Sarra Manning for a fabulous girls-night-in event on Thursday 31st March, at Stevenage Library.

Find out more!

My mum might have abandoned me today to meet friends for lunch in Bath (and I smelt white wine on her when she came back!) but I wasn’t going to let that feckless woman spoil my day. Had a lovely day chasing squirrels around the park and saw my friend Bo and Cardie the corgi. Tail hurts a bit from wagging so much

Totally. As in ‘now it’s TOTES my fave prog’…

SERIOUSLY loving being heat’s new royal correspondent. Check out the C.O.R.G.I action in this week’s @heatworld Totes rah peeps!
