Chris Ridell and Elizabeth Laird at Waterstones Piccadilly!

I got to meet the poet laureate briefly last night! I foolishly forgot my copy of Goth Girl to get signed, so asked if he could doodle something in the back of my sketchbook!

He was thrilled to see I carried one on me so he flicked through mine and I his! His is immaculate and perfect as you can imagine. Chris gave me some lovely words of encouragement which I sorely need! :D 

As always these talks are never seemingly long enough and would be marvellous to listen to these great writers talk all evening.
