OLDER BOOKS:
LOVE DAD (Barrington Stoke – ISBN 1842992015) Price £4.99. Published in 2004, Love Dad is about 16 year old Martin Smith, who’s claim to “fame” in inverted commas is blubbing like a big baby in front of millions of viewers on a TV talent show. The judge called Vince Prince is not in the least bit based on any actual well-known figure who’s name may or may not be an anagram of Cimon Sowell. It says here.
FAME THING (Barrington Stoke – ISBN 1-842993-70-4) Price £4.99. Published in 2006, Fame Thing is about a really famous footballer who moves into a small village where 15 year old, football bonkers George lives. Can you believe everything that gets written in the papers? George gets to make her own mind up. The footballer is not in the least bit based on a real footballer who’s name may or not be an anagram of Rayne Wooney. It says here.
DIARY OF A TRAINEE ROCK GOD (Barrington Stoke – ISBN 1-84299-393-3) Price £5.99. Published in 2006, this is one of Barrington Stoke’s ‘FYI’ series of books for readers who like their fiction stacked with facts. It’s about 10 year old Darren, who wants to learn to play guitar. Along the way he finds out the connection between Radiohead and Harry Potter – and also that his dad isn’t quite so boring as he thought.

Clone Zone, (ISBN 1-842990-09-8) was published by the wonderful Barrington Stoke (and no, I’m not being paid to say that) in 2001. It’s about a rubbish boy band called Stud-U-Like who get abducted by aliens and replaced by an alien boy band. (Yeah, I know, that old chestnut!)
The aim of the book is to help raise financial awareness in upper primary school children. A bunch of free copies are being given to every primary school in Scotland. My story’s called NO CHANGE by the way. The other stories were written by top Scots pensmiths, Nicola Morgan, Theresa Breslin and Alison Prince.
