One of things that I am LOVING about the ‘FREAKS!’ collaboration with Darren and Nik is that I laugh at them (or with them) every day. This has just arrived in my inbox. I’m thinking Nik has perfected the moody-writer look, that Darren has a hint of an aging Buzz Lightyear about him and that purple is so my colour!
Perfect!
“There is little in the way of relief in this harrowing first novel, but Smailes' sensitivity towards her subjects – and the poetry of her writing – carry the story.” Financial Times.
'Black Boxes is bursting with creative ideas, beautiful language, and unforgettable characters. You may need to be a little bit brave to read it - but if you take the plunge, you'll be very glad you did.'

That is just so cool! =D
It makes me smile every time I look at it x
Love it! That is SO you
And I’ve never met Darren before! x
Really? That’s amazing then.
I love it! Fantastic drawing - the colours are so vibrant.
I think I need purple hair! x
I dares ya! x
Brilliant! That is very cool. Purple hair and purple rollerskates for the book launch and/or events, I think!
Oh yes, I think that the launch of FREAKS! needs fancy dress and me rollerskating around in a cape… x
You’d look fab with a purple streak, Veronica Lake style,at the front - do it! do it! do it! x
I quite fancy it, if I can get the exact same colour purple lipstick! When I grow old I shall wear purple… OMG, do you think Darren’s saying I’m old???

What a great picture of the 3 of you. Absolutely love it!
Thanks so much!
For the record, Caz ,no you’re not old. It’s just that the rest of the Universe is a little bit younger than you.

Apart from you, of course… x
And at the moment I feel more like an aged Mr Potato-Head than Buzz.
OMG, are you the lovechild of Mrs Potato-Head and Buzz Lightyear? Fear not, your secret is same with me… x
Oooh, L-O-V-E this, and you sooo could work the purple Caroline xx
Oooooh, I might do just that! x
