I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. When you immerse yourself in the imaginary world of an 8 year old boy, you begin to believe he is real and treat him like one of your own children. Fact. Everywhere I go, people stop me to talk about Freddy Buttons – what they like in the books, their favourite stories and what recipes they have tried are some of my most frequent conversations. I respond, not like an author, but like a mother, such is my love for Freddy Buttons. When he does well I am proud. And he has done well. I got word today that his website, which is only in it’s infancy has been chosen as a finalist in two categories in the 2015 Irish Web Awards.
Oh yes, it’s that old ‘proud mama’ syndrome again for me!
But really, how could you not love him?
