Hi

In this eNews edition you can win a pre-release copy of my new book The Fall, learn how to make a children's book from the team behind the My Life series, help me change the world through education and see how I'm working to get kids published.

Between May and August I'll be on the road with The Fall (out 29 May), a thriller novel for Two Wolves readers. I'll be visiting Brisbane, Gold Coast, Byron Bay, Armidale, Orange, Newcastle, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. I hope to catch you!

Tristan.

WIN PRE-RELEASE COPY OF MY NEW BOOK THE FALL

I have one remaining copy of the Uncorrected Bound Proof (pre-release copy for media with mistakes and stuff in it) of my new novel The Fall (out 29 May).

It'll probably be worth millions of dollars one day (or at least make a very attractive coaster). I'm going to sign it and give it away.

All you have to do to go in the draw (Friday 19 May) is forward this eNews on to a friend or several who you think might be interested in receiving it by clicking the Forward button at the bottom. Let me know you did by replying to this email. Good luck! I hope you win.

How to Make a Children's Book

Gus Gordon (Herman and Rosie and Somewhere Else) is one of the finest illustrators working today and I'm lucky enough to work with him on the My Life series.

In part three of my blog series on How to Make a Children's Book, Gus shares intimate insight into his process and how you might go about creating your own illustrated book.

FREE TOM WEEKLY MASK

In the My Life & Other Weaponised Muffins book trailer I was savagely attacked by a masked, muffin-wielding fiend claiming to be Tom Weekly.

You can now download and print your own Tom Weekly mask and stage your own devilish muffin attack or wear it to your school book parade. Just click the image.

K IDS' ARTWORK AND STORIES PUBLISHED

Readers send me lots of cool artwork, wacky ideas, insightful book reviews and funny feedback so I've just started a section on my blog / website focused on YOUR LIFE (and Other Stuff You Made Up :)

Check out some of the fun stuff kids have sent in. And send me yours!

13 YEAR-OLD PUBLISHED AUTHOR

Anjali Dutton was just 11 years-old when she wrote her funny, semi-autobiographical story 'Toffee' and won the annual NSW Pilot Pen short story competition judged by author Andy Griffiths, earning her $1000 in prize money.

Anjali developed the story and characters further and now it's been published in the latest My Life book My Life & Other Weaponised Muffins. Meet Anjali here and hear about her writing journey and her tips for other young writers.
