The Heroes Are Here!
Posted by Tommy | Filed under Personal, Scream Street
I had an utterly FANTASTIC day at North Ormesby Primary School yesterday to conclude my year as RIF Ambassador to the school. In front of such esteemed VIPs as author GP Taylor, head of the National Literacy Trust Jonathan Douglas, and RIF director Judith Parke – I was delighted and honoured to announce the second annual winner of the Tommy Donbavand Writing Hero award. And it is….
…Ryan Patton! That’s him in the picture with me and last year’s writing hero, Kian Belsham. Like Kian, Ryan will also soon become a brand new character in the Scream Street series (I already know as what – but you’ll have to wait until book 9 to find out!)
I can’t thank the pupils and staff at North Ormesby enough for a wonderful year. Mrs Kemp-Hall, Mrs Hawes and everyone else have made me feel so welcome, and been extremely kind and understanding when I had to arrange visits at the last moment. I’ll definitely be staying in touch.
