New office, new, er, mess...

Hello! Sorry not to have blogged for a while - my house has been a disaster zone while we switched rooms round, painted, put down new carpets and lived surrounded by teetering piles of, well, general stuff. It all started when we spoke about giving Milly a bigger bedroom now that she's a 'big' girl (six), and didn't realise how complicated it would all get! But it's nearly done now, and apart form Milly having a gorgeous new room to play in, I've taken over her cute little bedroom overlooking the garden as my office. I've made it madly girly, with pink rose wallpaper on one wall and, um, nothing much else yet because I haven't unpacked all my books and bits! Still, I've got my computer, my desk, and a cushion for Gus to sit on beside me. What more could an author want?
By the way, thanks for all your excellent e-mails, reviews etc – got to go to Scotland for my niece's wedding this week, but will post new stuff on the site next week. Promise!
Karen McCombie :c)

Hiya Karen! I'm eight, but that's a 'bigg...er' girl than six ha-ha! Milly sounds so sweet. I love to read your blogs, and I come on whenever I can. You gotta remember, the Internet is a busy place, so I'm surfing it all the time, and searching for new books by you. I've got the first 'Sadie Rocks' book, and it's fantastic. I like the cat called Dog and the dog called Cat, or whatever way it is!! Katherine :) xxx to you xxx to gus xxx to your books and xxxxxxxxx 12 kisses all together to all those things and also hugs and kisses to tom and milly =D

Hiya ellie! When my mates are on holiday in the summer, I phone them a lot and try to keep in touch. If they like emailing, email them. Do they like Karen McCombie's books? Get them to go on this website and the blog page if so and you can chat then! Hope this helps :D Kathy xxx

Whoever The Fans, Whatever The Books, Whatever the characters, Whatever Their Looks. The Books Are Fantastic, Most are for Teens, Some Wear Skirts, And Some Wear Jeans. They're Not My Fave Books, Not My Worst, They Make Me Hungry, They Make Me Thurst. But What I Like Best, Is All This - The Things In My Poem, That's What It Is! Hope you like my poem, Karen and hope you find it fun Milly and lol Gus and Tom hugz and kisses to you all ♥xXx♥

Dear Karen McCombie...
I'd love to be a writer... and write boox just like yours. they have a perfect balance of humour and they are great preteen reads! I aslo lurrrv to write poetry. Here is some:
Stars

Flaming orbs of gas
light up the silver night
their friend the pearly crescent moon
forever by their side.

twinkling, flickering brightly
chattering, laughing away
soaring, dancing hand in hand
make the night as clear as day.

when the sun draws near
they scamper in fright
its bright strong rays
drown out the night.

my star
looks down on me
my star
my guardian angel
my star
for all to see
my star
mine
my star

these things that They call stars
choose one of us for them
to watch
to guide
to show the way
to protect
there is one for you alone
these beautiful things that They call
stars.

what do you think of this?
