New Blog Up! @StephenKing 's Dogs. I have been writing lots over the least few years, but most of it tucked away in secret. I'm really, really pleased to be putting a few things back on the blog.

Here's something about the pets of famous people.

This week, over at the Children's Book Council of Australia's Tasmanian Blog, I talk about the release of Suzanne Collin's latest novel, SUNRISE ON THE REAPING, and why it is clear that we still hunger for THE HUNGER GAMES.

@jk_rowling @StephenKing I think they're over there in the "Couldn't Care Less Department", which is having a naming war with the American "Could Care Less" Department, ironically demonstrating that both of them actually care quite a lot.

@JOSHPYKE Hi Josh! We're looking at anti-whaling texts in my English class and listened to "Chimney's Afire". We've unpacked lots of the ideas, but I'm just wondering if you can enlighten us about the inspiration for the line, "And with Bible leaf she fuels her own fire"?

[Lyndon Riggall @lyndonriggall]

@TerrorAustFest Do you think that the latest trends back towards “cosy crime” suggest a changing morality of readers, or does this appeal come from somewhere else? #TARWF
