And now we can tell you...

When I wrote my last blog about our weekend away at Symondsbury Manor, I said we had lots of fizz, but I couldn't tell you why... Well, now I can!The lovely Abbie Todd, our powerhouse Young Adult author wrote a fabulous novel (amazingly a couple of years ago now), that we, as a group, loved. After what has seemed an eternity of tweaking and rewrites, in collaboration with her agent, Jodie at United Artists, the novel has emerged all the stronger and has been picked up by Little, Brown and is going to published in March 2015.When we read it we knew it was very special, but, even for something very special you still need at least a tiny bit of luck (alongside all that hard work) and Abbie has finally got her well deserved break.You can read about it here in the wonderful press release from Little, Brown via The Bookseller. Until next time.John Hoggard
