On bank holiday Monday 25th May, the annual Otford Fete is back, and this year it's big! Always a fantastic day out with plenty to do and see, I'll be signing books and happy to chat about my upcoming books. 




Sunday 22nd February promises to be a fun day out for the whole family, with The White Swan in Ash, Kent, hosting a farmers' market complete with pony rides, bouncy castles, face painting, all manner of produce, and me! I'll be there signing my books, so please come and say hello - the food is great here too, so why not stop for lunch? 



On Saturday 26th July, I will be signing books at the Black Horse pub and restaurant in Bean, Kent. There will be other stalls too, so why not come along and say hello? 


 

On the 20th of July, I will be at the Foal Farm summer festival, signing books and meeting people. It's on from 11am until 5pm and promises to be a fantastic day! 



The Ryarsh village fete promises to be lots of fun on 28th June. There will be a hog roast, a beer tent with plenty of local real ales to sample, archery, traditional fairground games including a coconut shy, craft and food stalls, mega inflatables, and much, much more!

The Horton Kirby Christmas market on 1st December is ideal for anyone who likes to buy local - everything is home grown or home made, and everything is unique. The perfect place for those very special presents. I'll be there from 9am until 1pm signing copies of my books, including the newly released Fairy Lights!

Barton's Point Coastal Park is a wonderful outdoor activity centre on the Isle of Sheppey. There is so much to do here, including camping, boating, canoeing, and enjoying the beautiful scenery from the cafe where you can eat delicious home cooked meals. On 26th October, Barton's Point is hosting a Halloween Fun Day - this includes rides on the spooky steam train, scary stories read by an expert story teller, and... me! I'll be signing copies of my horror novels and short story collections throughout the day. I love local events (I live on the Isle of Sheppey, about 10 minutes from Barton's Point)!




Get ready for Halloween by coming along to the arts and craft market at the Crofton Halls in Orpington on 6th October. Lots to see and do, and I'll be there (of course!), signing and selling books. Free parking, free entry, food and drink and entertainment - it'll be great! 



It's the annual Shoreham Heavy Horse Show (run by the Lions Club) on 1st September 2013. This is always a fantastic day out, with horses, classic vehicles, falconry displays, dog shows, and craft stalls from around the local area (and often beyond!). 

I'll be there signing and selling my horror novel, Mother's Helper, and my two short story collections, Some Body's At The Door, and Over The Bridge. Come and say hello and have a chat - it really is a wonderful day out in a beautiful setting.
