I went to Poland as Erin Hunter, to meet fans of the Warrior Cats, do interviews and sign books. It was an amazing few days! Warriors fans are the best – so enthusiastic about the books and happy to chat to me for a few minutes and take photos. We had a couple of question and answer sessions, and honestly our fans know more about the books that I do!
I had time for some sight-seeing along the way: to the Palace on the Isle just outside Warsaw; learning how to make gingerbread in Torun, followed by a visit to Copernicus’ house; admiring the publisher’s stand at Pyrkon, the book fair in Poznan, and visiting the Raczynski Palace outside the town.
A final adventure: I should have flown from Poznan to Warsaw, then Warsaw to Torun, but the first flight was cancelled. So Tomek, the head bod at the publishers, drove me to Warsaw in his Mustang. (It go vrrrooom). So I was in time for the second flight.
Huge thanks to Tomek and to my guides, Marta and Pavel. I hope we meet again if I can do another tour in Poland.
