On World Book Day I finally got to meet Anne Fine, an author I have admired from afar for many years.
Anne appeared at Crosby Civic Hall for the event organised by Pritchard's Books and Sefton Libraries and spoke to hundreds of children during the day.
Here's a photo of me interviewing Anne, whose new book, A Fly In The Ointment will be a future featured Book of the Month.

May i suggest the newly released book by
sophie Andrews published by Hodder and
Stoughton and titled " Scarred" This is a true story of how a woman overcame years of abuse and self harm with the support of the Samaritans organisation. I felt humbled by her courage and amazed at her ability to write such a harrowing story. I hope it will be cathartic for her.
