What a month! The Horse Mad Series was officially launched at the News South Wales Writers' Centre on July 22nd. I had such a good time. Shona Martyn from HarperCollins Publishers was there to open the launch then multi award-winning author Susanne Gervay officially launched the series. I said a few words and we cut the cake (chocolate mud – yum!).
