THANK YOU!!!!
Monday 11th August 2008
I had the coolest email this week, from a girl thanking me for the books, and for writing back to her when she emails… and it got me thinking. We don’t say thank you often enough! So let’s do something about it….
Here is Emma’s email, which started me thinking….
Thanks Cathy for writing to me the way you do. You’re an international writer who has loads of fans and yet you still take time to write back to each one of us personally. You answer our questions and help us out. I know no other author who does that so thanks!
And thanks, too, because your books are so inspirational. They help me understand and believe and want to stand up for myself! Thanks, Cathy!
So… who would I say thanks to? Lot of people, for lots of things!!!!
A big THANKS to my fab family, for putting up with me… to my friends… to all the fab crew at Puffin books & also to my agent, for making my dreams come true… to my writer-gal pals, Fiona Gibson, Lisa Clark, Magi Gibson & Meg Rosoff, for patience, laughs & understanding… to Fluffy Puffin, for everything… to Kitty’s Tearoom, for having the best cake in the known universe… to the cool kids who came to the EDINBURGH BOOK FEST recently, to see me…. to everyone who emails me with feedback & support… everyone who voted for me in Queen of Teen… to Daisy & Kelpie (dogs), Midnight & Snowy (rabbits) & Lily, Pickle & Pepper (cats) for letting me stroke them… to llamas, for existing… and lots, lots more. Including Emma N, for giving me the cool idea for this blog!
What would YOU say thanks for? Let me know in the box below… keep your comments short, & I’ll post the best online!

THANX to the person who invented the computer or the typwriter or wateva cause without them Cathy wouldn’t be able to write her wonderful stories (unless they were like on stone pillers) also THANX Cathy for writing your books.
Thanx to you Cathy because i wouldnt of found mi fav book!
We were Asked our favourite in school and I didn’t know. I was half way through the book driftwood.We had 1 week to write a report on our favourite book.
That night wen i got home I carried on reading Driftwood. AND I FINISHED IT!
So the next day we had been reminded about our report. All of my friends had started theirs so i thought I will do driftwood.
Then the bombshell dropped if we wrote a good enough report we would get a packet of sweets.
So as soon as I got home I started writing it. And i finished it in 1 nite.
After the week was up and we had handed in all our reports and miss had read them all she told us who it was GUESS WHO WON?…………………….
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
So thanx once more for writing your books otherwise i wouldn’t of won.
Your now my favourite author Thanx
