Hungry Haggis hits town

'"Yum yum," he said, crunching cucumbers and carrots.' (Hungry Haggis)

 I really enjoyed taking part in the launch of The Launchpad this afternoon at Common Grounds coffee shop in Belfast, reading my children's story, 'Hungry Haggis'.
It was lovely to see so many people supporting us at the event, and especially having some friendly faces in the audience ;-). I'm looking forward to the next event.

 PS Haggis really enjoyed it too!
