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!

Cathy I LOVE your books! I’ve only read three, I’m waiting for some more pocket money to by the next ones. But when’s a new book coming out! And, your books are mainly about 11 or 12 year olds, Please can you make one about a girl at about 10 years old? Thats my age,

Hey Cathy,
I agree … thank you is one of the most important words in life but not many people use it. So that’s why I would like to thank everyone who has ever helped me and to all my friends and family for loving and caring for me. Love Holly x ♥
I think emma is so right about saying thanks to you, you are a brilliant author and a real inspiation to me.
I also think it is really cool that you reply to our e-mails, but it must take you ages cos i bet you get loads!!
I allways try and get your books as soon as they come out but it is not easy because i live in france, so i have to ask an aunt to send then over from Engaland.
So thanks to you for your brilliant books, thanks to my aunt who sends them and thanks to the postman who delivers them!!!

I agree, the world should say thank you more! It doesn’t take hard work. I’d like to say thank you to my mum and dad for comforting me when I was unhappy at school and thankyou to addenbrookes hospital for keeping my sister’s health up since her CF can take rollercoster waves!Also, thank you to Cathy Cassidy, my No.1 fav author!

If them guys (and girls & animals!) helped with the creation of your latest masterpiece – Gingersnaps – then they deserve all the thanks they can possibly get and take (without screaming!) so I really wanna say **thankyou** too! And also to everyone who’s either moving up with me or without me to High School from Forefield Juniors ’cause I’m gonna m really miss every single one of them in some way or another and they’ve been there for a long time … Finally, to the strangers (or the friends I haven’t met) out there who agree with me that Cathy Cassidy with an award or without is our Queen of Teen! Bubi *x*
I’ve just read your blog about saying thanks, and I would like to say thanks to you aslo because I have emailed you laods of times and you have always writen back. And you made me laugh:
“Llamas for existing”
