Hosted by me, this event is sure to be a hit with the young ones. It's being held at the Waterstones in Folkestone, between 14:30 and 16:00 on SATURDAY 8th AUGUST.

Do come along with your kids, they will have the opportunity to write their very own mermaid story.

Keep up to date on the weekend at Folkestone Mermaid Fringe 2015

Come meet me, The Piggin' Author, at Folkestone this August.

I'll be reading from THE WHITE QUEEN and will sign any copies you bring along. If you don't own a copy yet, do not despair I'll have copies to hand of both THE WHITE QUEEN and THE MUR OF AQUITHUS for you to buy and of course I'll sign them.

The event is scheduled for 8th August, but there is also a fringe festival taking place all weekend and this is where I'll be doing a children's workshop at the local Waterstones. So bring your little ones along and let them take the opportunity to write their own tales from the deep. (It will be mermaid related, but if they want to write about pirates, that'll be fine too. (Just no Sponge Bob square bollox. Oh come on, you've thought it too, right.)

Folkestone Mermaid Festival 2015

Folkestone mermaid Fringe 2015

Whilst attending the 3 Wishes Faery Festival over the weekend, I got a chance to meet some real life mermaids. They were, Lily-Rose, and Aura, of The English Mermaids. I think what they do brings magic to all, but especially, young children, mainly girls, and this can't be a bad thing.

Check out their facebook page - The English Mermaids 

If you wish to meet a real life mermaid in the UK, you could check out Toni Mishell. She does an array of events and could be available for your next children's party.
