Web Sight Chainge’a’round
Apr 17th
Hi
I am trying to have a bit of a springclean around the websight,
moving a few old cobwebs having a little hoover round.
put a few new ones up on my gallery.
little problem is i am not so adept at sorting it all out so apologies if a few of the images are taking a little while to load.
they will get sorted out soon but do need a cup before i try and sort that out.
Also i am pretty much up to my eyeballs with Driver Dan’s Story train at the min. so , as they say …bear with, bear with.
so heres a little sneaky from my desk.
i am trying to peace together a little story to accompany this character…in progress .

So wont repeat it all on this blog suffice to say met some really fab people had a great time did a bit of shmoozing , but mostly anoracked my way round
some of the thousands of different books at the fair.
saw some great talks by really interesting Authors and Illustrators,
and had a chance to see my dummy book on Walker Books stand.
It was a bit of a JR Hartly moment !

Lauren Branches Out Take 2
Mar 10th
Just thought I would post a lovely photo of me and Alison Larkman from internal workings.
I don’t know if this constitutes a wrap party.
Also have to big up the production team …
Andrew Viney AKA Chimpanzee
the super video editor and code person, designer of this lovely websight.
he also tuts occasionally and imbeds film and generally sorts out my stuff on here.
And the director Elizabeth Tobia.
(note sir name!)
who stopped us all running about and giggling.
and generally decided stuff.
