A fan called Kayla contacted me recently, to say she felt very excited when I popped up as a question when she was playing the Facebook Trivia game! She sent me a screenshot of the question and possible answers -- I was impressed that they'd spelled my real name correctly!!! :-)

This reminded me of when my name popped up in a couple of British TV quiz shows some years back -- The Chase and Eggheads. I did a quick online search and found shots of them (though it took a while with the Eggheads one, because initially I thought the question had appeared on the show Pointless, and was searching for that instead!). The Eggheads question, by the way, was name the main vampire in the Twilight series.

If anyone else ever spots my name popping up in a quiz game or TV show, do please let me know -- it's nice, if always rather surreal, to see myself featured in such places.

Speaking of nice, surreal places... :-) I'm doing a rare live event in Tunbridge Wells on the final Saturday of this month. I'll be talking about my books, doing some readings, answering lots of questions, and signing afterwards.
