My signed Gruffalo gift from the lovely people at Macmillan Children's Books ... Awww thanks guys.

Icon Books job done. Now designing bottle labels for three sizes of Palm Oil - Sexy bottles (NOT!)

Finally signed off the Hari's World Style guide just shy of the Brand Licensing Show ... 64 pages of joy!

First small steps for 'treetot' Style Guide begun. Have three full guides to do in 12 days - 60 pages each!

... and a tasty chunk of Brand Licensing editorial under the title 'Off The Shelf' showcasing new publishing brands.

That was The Lonely Tree spread and Treetot gets its own page ... what a sweetie!

The Lonely Tree, Treetot & Glis are officialy launched as brands in the Brand Licensing Source Book today - HURRAH!

Here is part payment for my Amersham Library visit. Library managers rock!

Creating the Style Guide for my Hari Books characters today. Not my publishing company but I do all the work - sheesh!

The country lane monkey has moved!

Escaped monkey spotted this afternoon during a walk to the end of my country lane with my daughter!

Focusing on the important elements during my book signing on Saturday!

First previews of The Lonely Tree plush toy range ... ahhh, bless ...

Had a lovely photo through of me with a fan after reading The Lonely Tree at the Roald Dahl festival. Great to meet really nice kids.

... and the 'Treetot' Brand Licensing Source Book ad signed-off. Odd how the simplest things take the longest!

Finally signed-off Brand Licensing Source Book ad for TLTree. Costing a fortune so at least one fat licensing deal from it please - thank you!

Jjust a dummy proof at the moment & a sweet simple lift-the-flaps story. Painfully simple & painfully effective.

Seeing as I showed you the Treetot cutlery though I'd show the book 'cos that's the important thing!

... and The Lonely Tree audio CD coming to an iPod near you soon ... read by yours truely.

One of the Treetot branded products we are working on ... yummy!
