		<title>Launch Party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, I admit – it wasn’t MY launch party (the new book isn’t that far ahead just yet) but I went to the party for Tanya Byrne’s Heart Shaped Bruise on Thursday.

		<title>Making the Amulet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve had lots of questions about the beautiful bracelet on the cover of the books, and I thought I’d tell you a little bit about how it came to be made. The bracelet is absolutely unique – there is no other like it, and we had it specially made to be photographed for the covers. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new blog has just been announced for UK Young Adult/Teen readers. All the books have a UK theme and the site is designed to be useful to readers everywhere.

		<title>Review Comments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I&#8217;ve had a number of questions lately from people about the comments on this site, so I thought I&#8217;d better let you know how it works. When you read one of the blog posts or pages and put a comment in box at the bottom of the page, I get sent an email telling [...]]]></description>

		<title>Letters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week I got the most fantastic letter in the post – a handmade card from Georgie, an enthusiastic fan of the series who lives in Ireland.

		<title>The Movie&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; The question I get asked more than any other is ‘Please can you make Small Blue Thing into a movie?’ Well, no, I can’t. But you can. I would LOVE for all the books to be made into films, absolutely love it, but it’s not down to me. The people who run the film [...]]]></description>
