Any questions?

I hope it's sunny wherever you are today, and that you're not stuck inside on the computer. I am deep into the copyedit on Entangled. Would I prefer to be outside in the park? Possibly. Is the copyedit trickier than anticipated? Definitely. Am I enjoying myself? Weirdly, yes.

The winner of the contest will be announced tomorrow so if you've got any last-minute guesses, get them in now. I'd hate for you to miss out on the chance to win one of the Prizes of Awesomeness.

So that I have something else to talk about tomorrow other than the name of the lucky winner, please feel free to ask me a question.

Go on, ask me anything... I DARE you. (OK, anything within reason.)

Fanks for fings

Thank you thank you thank you for the questions for the FAQs. I'm halfway through answering them, and it's turning out to be a lot of fun. It's kind of tricky too, because I've had to THINK and that is sometimes hard for me. Some of the questions made me think about stuff I've never really taken the time to think about before. So I hope the answers will be of some interest to you, since they've been a revelation to me!

Unfortunately, and much to my surprise, no one asked the two most important questions in the universe. I've chosen to answer them here, for you.

Chocolate or cheese? (i.e. If you could only have one for the rest of your life, which would it be?)

Hmm, let me think for a second... NOT! It's got to be cheese. Got. To. Be. I could not live without parmesan and cheddar and camembert and all their cheesy relatives. Don't get me wrong: I like chocolate, I really do. But cheese rules the world.

Would you rather have muffins for hands, or squirrels for feet?

Squirrels for feet, of course. Those little munchkins could propel me around the streets of London, with minimal effort required on my part. 'Squirrels, go thataway! Squirrels, wait for the green man! Squirrels, please propel me past that charity mugger at full speed!' If I had muffins for hands, I wouldn't be able to write books, and that would be a shame.

There. I feel better for putting that out there.

Thanks also for the YA book recommendations. The tower grows ever higher. God, I love YA and the people who read it. I really truly do.

Please ask me questions!

Hello, you lovely blog readers! May I just say that you're looking particularly attractive today... not a trace of overindulgence over the festive period... Have you been working out?

OK, here's the deal: I'm creating my website. There will be no bells and whistles on it, because I ain't computer-savvy enough for such fripperies. But there will be words. Hopefully. And I need YOU to help me out with my FAQ page.

Please, ask me anything you like. Anything at all. It can be about writing, or cheese, or stripey socks, or music or ANYTHING. If you do this, I will heart you forever.

Thank you.

Have a nice day.

Disappointing lunch of the day: Urgh, some kind of hot halloumi bagel. Sounded great, tasted rank. And it was messy too. And the rocket was wilted and gross.
