What’s new?
Book 11 of Girls FC comes out soon (June 7th). Blurb: Amy Minter is different from the rest of the girls on the team. She’s soooo not in touch with her inner-footballer but as the season finishes and her time on the Parrs comes to an end she’s beginning to wish she’d tried a little harder… but isn’t it too late?
Cover design by Sonia Leong.
In other news OUP are going to re-jacket the Clubbing (After School Club series) books.
I’m delighted by this news. The Clubbing books have sold well with their current covers by Tim Kahane. Clubbing Together has sold especially well:
Clubbing Together is now on its 11th imprint and has sold more copies than any of my other books. OUP plan to add activities to the books and are going to ask the incredibly named Tuesday Mourning to re-design the covers. Clubbing Together might look something like this next year (rough):
Exciting stuff, eh?
I’ve finished the re-writes of my first non-fiction book, too. This is for Harper Collins’ new educational series for KS3 (11-14 year olds). My book is about girls’ football and comes out in November. I am hoping this picture of Marta will be on the cover:
Marta, Brazil’s ‘Pele in a skirt’. Watch out for her at the Olympics this summer.
All of which means I am now free to start something new. We’re talking BIG, bold and no, there won’t be any vampires
