- About Me
- I love writing, reading, drawing, painting, yoga, meeting people and travelling with my family
- What are you working on at the moment?
- A novel for 10-13s set in Iceland.
For my next project I'm tempted by a pb of poems about elephants
Then another novel, with a mystery at its core
- If you were asked to recommend just one children's book published this year, what would it be?
- Not published this year, but I've just started reading :The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak, which is great
- What is the most important thing you learned about writing or illustrating this year?
- That every line of a novel needs to be honed as much as poetry

I booked a room at Chrissie's place again in Winchester. Are you going this year? Hope it doesn't come round any quicker than this year is going by already!
P.
All the best, Leila
I've put both those dates in my diary. See you in March!
it does have a new owner - I helped with the set up and initial ordering of the books so I know the team quite well. I go over to Tervuren quite often to see them, so could certainly meet for a coffee. That would be nice. However, we are off to Italy for a month tomorrow, so it would have to be when we get back - could set a date now or wait, as you prefer!
All the best, Leila
p.s. do you know that Treasure Trove children's bookshop has moved to a new location in Tervuren village? I helped with the set up - it's a very nice place to go and browse children's books.
