On 3 October Mrs Taylor and Ms Wark arranged for three Year 7 English classes to meet and listen to author and scriptwriter, Catherine Johnson.  Catherine has written scripts for Eastenders and Holby City and is also known for her exciting books, which are written with teenagers in mind. She talked at length about what it is really like to be an author (writing in her pyjamas with the cat on her lap) and how she finds inspiration.  
 
Catherine spoke about her influences for her latest book "Blade and Bone" which is set in Paris around the time of the French Revolution and reintroduces us to her hero, Ezra. 
 
It was fabulous to have such a renowned author here at Rye College.   We have a great selection in the library;  Nightmare Card, Sawbones, Arctic Hero to name a few.  If you would like to find out more information on Catherine and her books, please check out her website - http://catherinejohnson.co.uk
