The first two books in the Scream Street series – Fang of the Vampire and Blood of the Witch – are published in the US today by Candlewick Press!
To celebrate the publication, I’ve made a second Scream Street USA trailer – which features my first attempt at using a green screen in my videos. The result – while not perfect – isn’t bad for a first try…

Giving Words A Good Home
Posted by Tommy | Filed under Personal
It’s often easy to forget that, as a writer, I work with words every day and find communicating my thoughts and feelings to others a very simple affair – but that’s not the case for everyone. Some people struggle to make themselves understood.
So, I was delighted to discover a wonderful website that allows you to adopt a word for a year at a time and I used it to adopt the word SCREAM.
Adopt A Word charges just £20 to make a word ‘yours’ for 12 months – with all the money going to a brilliant charity called I Can which helps children with communication and speech problems.
So, if there’s a word you’ve always coveted, why not give it a good home? Because words are for life – not just for Christmas cracker jokes…
