    Hi girls! Thanks so much for all your fab messages – I so love reading them!
    Louise, I hope your stories are going well 0 don’t forget to send them in when you’re done! BTW about author letters, if you send them to the author c/o the publisher (address in the copyright page at the front of the book) they will always pass them on.
    Ainna – wow, thanks! xx
    Onyx – I hope you enjoyed Half a Sister!
    Thanks, Mai! xx
    Hello to the other Kelly! You can read my Girls Heart Books blog to find out more about me growing up!
    Hi Tashi! I have written over 30 books. Wow, have I really? I’m officially awarding myself a Curly Wurly!
    Hi Roshni, thanks for your lovely message. I think, tell your friends how you feel, they might not have realised how hurtful they’re being. and if they don’t change… maybe try to meet some new mates…
    Hi Rachel. I hope things improve with the girl. If she’s mean I’d just steer clear!
    Hi Clare!
    Sarah, I hope your friend problem is better now. I would say, follow your gut feelings.
    Hi Laura, thanks for the tip, I will check out Lauren Conrad.
    Ella – wow, what a prolific reader! So I’m extra happy that you love Totally Lucy, because you have read like MOST books!
    Kim-Lisa, thanks! It’s great to have a German fan writing on here – welkommen!

    Hi Amara, welcome to the site! xx
    Kellester, I don’t know. I used to write one all the time, but now I only reach for it when I really feel the need to write something down, and I guess you only get the interesting bits that way!
    Cliona, thanks so much for your fab review. It’s great that you enjoyed BFF so much, I really appreciate you giving it a whirl. I tried to leave you a message on the blog but it wouldn’t work so hope you read this.xxx

    Hey Kelly!
    I am soooo tired! School is so boring. How much homework do they give us?…Too much! Some lessons are so yawn-o-matic I actually almost fall asleep!:/
    I need a holiday in the sun! Long days, evenings in restaurants, beaches, pools, sun cream, sand, rubber rings, snorkeling, ice cream, flip-flops, deck-chairs and all the things that I love! Never mind. Summer is only a few months away. Not like the British summer is much good anyway but whatever.
    Hope your okay!
    Love always xxx

    P.S I am now reading ‘To kill a mocking bird’ it’s so good! Have you read it Kelly? I love Atticus, he is s wise!

  4. kellester says:

    kelly how do i stat my own journal i try but i always turn up writing 1 week later and i really want to start one none stop by kellester

  5. Amara says:

    At school every friday we go to the libary and last week when we went to the libary I took out a book and it was by Kelly Mckain and I have only just started reading it and it was so intresting I needed to find out whether was a website or not
    And now I`ve found this!!!!

  6. Nat says:

    Hey Kelly!
    I recently found out about your site whilst looking for the next pony camp diaries. I loved them and got the first 6 books when I was younger. I still have them and read them and I am now 12!! I love the pony adventures as I am horsecrazy!! Keep writing them! xx

  7. victoria says:

    oh ok i got Picture Perfect and it was SO awesome so I hope i will get more books written by you.Good luck!

  8. heidi says:

    hi louise i know how you feel about the uniform. i have to wear a blazer with shoulder pads as well. and the jumpers are really stiff so you cant move your arms propperly.

  9. Louise A.K.A Your no#1 fan! says:

    Oh no, back to school now and I forgot how bad early mornings are:/ Plus my stiff, ugly, stupid uniform is already getting on my nerves. It’s hard to enjoy yourself as the female class clown when you’re blazer has shoulder pads in it and bunches up whenever you raise your arms!:( Annoying!
    But it’s great to see all my friends after a long 2 weeks without them:-D Me and my best friends are already getting ourselves into trouble. Silly us;D For example, in PE today we were doing basket ball. Occasionally I was getting involved but the rest of the time I was just dancing around the court making the team’s not playing (including all my friends) giggle like crazy!
    Homework is another down side of course, and tests and strick-o-teachers. The only good thing is seeing my friends and getting to mess around with them!:D
    Love always Kelly! xxx

  10. Blare Harmony Cartman says:

  30. Helen says:

    hiya guys i am helen and i have a massive crush on this boy i used to go out with.

    we hav had a few snogs but then we broke up and i want to get back 2gether anyy advice?

    xx

  31. heidi says:

    i also have a very good death stare which i used quite a bit and it worked cos the were silesio when i did it (btw a death stare is when you look at someone like “stop that now” kind of way.)

  32. heidi says:

    btw she helped a lot cos she was so popular so you could find someone like that who has been your BFF for ages then they will stick up for you.

  33. heidi says:

    hey roshni
    im in year 9 but in year 7 i got teased. a lot, but not about fashion, it was because i was so much smaller then everyone else. i was 147cm when they were all like 160cm or something like that. i was treated like a baby. eventeualy they got used to the fact that in was not going to get any bigger that fast so they stopped. just sort of tell them this is what you are like and if they are not happy about it tough. it helped me though to have the most beautiful girl in school as my BFF she had been since we were 3. so when she was around i was ok.

  34. Laura-loves-reading says:

    Hey Kelly!
    I am really inspired by you and your books, I’d love to hear from you!
    Keep up your ah-mazing stories!

All my friends say its really good! I bet they’re right. Anyway, like Jules, I really want to be an actress when I’m older and I know this sounds really nosy but what is your most embarrassing moment ever? Mine was when I fell of the stage when I was in a play and landing right in my crush’s lap!!! Cringe – a – rama!!!

    Hey Kelly, so happy you like my story:D I hope you’ll manage to get some sleep and Freddie will be a good boy for you;D You have to upload a new picture of him! I bet he’s super cute!
    Hehee, I’m currently working on 2 stories! One is a diary by a young girl in WW2 that gets evacuated to a farm and she goes through little adventures. I decided to write it because I have a strange love for WW2! Not the fighting and death of course! But the good british spirit and evacuations and things that happened at home! How exciting!:D My 2nd one is about a girl and her friend in America that get kidnapped and she has to use her skills to get out!
    Hope they turn out okay! I’ll send you them when there finish if you want?
    Big huggs!xxx

  96. Louise A.K.A Your no#1 fan! says:

    I haven’t written on this page in ages, so ofcourse being the loyal fan I am I decided to update my writting to you.
    You know I love the Lucy books because of the piccy I sent you! They are so funny, I found myself re-reading a few pages of them a couple of days ago. I have been buisy with other books like the books you advertise at the back of Lucy’s stories ‘Summer Camp Secrets’ I’m on number 8 I think. I have most of them.
    I have also been reading ‘I captured the castle’ It’s an adult book but it’s apropret. My mum read it first and then gave it to me to read. It’s about a girl that lives in an old astle with her family, she has to encourage her dad to write again after he stopped doing it and they got into poverty. Then they meet a rich family and so many things happen! It’s wonderful, I don’t want to tell you to much but I recomend you read it!
    Well I don’t want to say anything about the comp yet, I will wait until you post about it. But I have replied to your email if you want to read it. I would like to add to my email:
    P.S= I don’t supose you could write a letter as well? Only if you want to make it more special!
    Well I best go, but have a good summer! And I hope Freddy is perfectly settled. You MUST post another picture of him, he is so cute!
    Bye for now!xxx

    ‘”maisy, lola’s at the door.” mum yells at me. i slide off my bed and run to the front door. lola was there looking extatic. “hey lola” i said as she let herself in, “waz up”
    “omg maisy i got it” lola said with such a hight piched note i was suprised that dogs didnt start barking. i shut the door. lola was talking about how we both asked to be extras in harry potter and the deathly hallows.”oh lola thats grate. i havent got my reply yet.” i said
    “you will and you will get in, you’ll see” somehow i doubt it, im mad about harry potter and acting but im not part of a drama club or anything but lola is.’
    and that was as far as i got. i didnt have much time and it was straight off the top of my head so its not the best i can do. luv totally lucy btw but for some reason whsmiths only sell 1,2,3,5 and 7 so iv only got those ones but i hope to get more

    MY CUTIE OF A PUPPY,
    by Shauna K. Corrigan

    “Oh my goodness me!” Mum exclaimed as I walked through the door. Oh no, i thought. She must have noticed that mascara I forget to take off like, maybe an hour ago. “I guess you’ve seen my erm.. eyes then.” I spluttered out with half of a Twix. “Hmm” Mum said. I was pretty sure that was a yes. “I’ll be off to Jade’s then.” I told her and I expected her just to go “Whatever” or that but she stopped me in my very own trails. “Aaah! Stop right there Shirley Burke!” She said.
    “Take it offf first.” Great. I thought, she hadn’t eaten my head off.
    WHAT DO YOU THINK?
    Goodbye!!!

  114. Kelly McKain says:

    Olivia, wow thanks for such a lovely message! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series! You can find out about all the books and read the first chapters on the Lucy page on this site AND link through to Amazon to buy them!
    Louise I don’t think I had any entries for the comp but I’ll check with Pollinger. I will make the date on the Dress Up Lucy page the end of August now, though, so you can enter if you haven’t already! please do let me know if you sent an entry in as maybe they have got lost and I can look into it.
    Thanks, Shannon! There aren’t any more Totally Lucy books planned but I am writing a new series for your age, which I’m sure you’ll love if you like Lucy.
    Hi to Angel, Leah, Georgia and Amy from Highsted! Leah, see the Over to You page for writing tips! Georgia, Diary of a Wimpy Kid is really funny so far! Amy, of course I remember you! Let me know if you can get the book, and I’ll try and get one for you via the Japanese publishers as well.
    Angel, it was so lovely to meet you and good luck with your writing! Make sure you keep in touch and let me know how it’s going!
    Isla, wow you sound SO like Lucy! You can find all the books on Amazon if you can’t get them in the shops (and you can order them from the shop too if you ask at the desk, and they will get it for you). You can also go on the Lucy page of this site, read the first chapters, pick which book you want next and then link through to order it from Amazon! Easy!
    Hi Rowena! I agree with you about Simon Driscott!
    Loads of love to you all girls! xxxKellyxxx

  115. Kelly McKain says:

    Hi Chrissie! Thanks for all your fab questions! I will answer them on the Got A Question page next week, so check back there soon!
    Hi Ola! Sorry I can’t read Polish, could you write in English? A big hug to you anyway, in whatever language!
    Wow, cool! Thanks, Aliya!
    Tamara, sorry to hear you’ve had trouble getting hold of the books. Can you get them through Amazon UK? they aren’t available to download at the moment (they should be and I’ll talk to my publishers about this next week!)so if you can’t get them from Amazon send me a private e-mail at kelly@kellymckain.co.uk and I can organise something for you from here – means you’ll get them signed too!
    Charley, you can find writing tips on the Over To You page and when you’ve got a story together, send it in to the page and I’ll put it up in the gallery for everyone to read!
    Same to you, Anisha. I really hope I get to read you girls’ stories soon!
    Hi again Jace!
    Loads of love to all you girls, MWAH!!!

  116. Kelly McKain says:

    Hi Skicycle!
    Wow, what a superfab fan! It’s brilliant to hear that you love the Fairy House books and that you’ve read them so many times. In the US you can also get the Quentin Quirk’s books (Attack of the Butt-Biting Sharks / The Purple Sluggy Worry Warts) which are by me but written under the name Matt Kain, or you could get the Totally Lucy books from the UK via Amazon UK. I think you’d love them too! I’ll put your questions and the answers up on the Any Questions page next week, so look out for them there!You can find out all about what’s happening with the Fairy House series on the Fairy House page of this site and see why I can’t do any more at the moment (boo hoo!) but thanks for your fab title ideas. Thanks for writing in and happy reading!

  117. Kelly McKain says:

    Hi Louise,
    Sorry if you got missed out last time! Hello to you!! Did you send one in, and if you did, was it scanned and e-mailed or sent by post to the Pollinger address? Let me know and I’ll check it hasn’t got lost somewhere as I don’t remember seeing one from you. xxx

  118. Rowena says:

    I <3 your books! and the illustrations! i reckon that simon driscot has fancied lucy forever!

  119. Amy says:

    hey, I’m not sure if you’ll remember me, but I was the girl at the grammar school who wants to get your Totally Lucy book in Japanese? I had a lot of fun, learning your techniques on writing and all that. I was hoping that I might be able to send you a story sometime *once I’ve written one* ? I’m still trying to find a Japanese copy of the book :L
    anyway, I hope things are good for you in the future
    –Amy xx

  120. Isla:) says:

    I would love to read some more of your books but i just can’t find them in the book shop, but i will keep on looking.
    I had already started on a diary like Lucy’s before I stared reading hers,and I think that our life are ALOT the same, like in Fantasy Fashion “Dog Boy” is like a boy I like and “Jules” is like my best mate and i want to be a fashion designer when i’m older and I am all ready in a Fashion school Kinda thing so I am on my way. I love the Totally Lucy Books Because they are about fashion and about what every girl goes through on a normal school day (or not normal)

    Hi kelly,
    Im doing a readers champion contest at my school and one of the challenges is to write to an author and i thaught of you! I was thinking of some questions to ask you and thaught of these. 1) Did you know you always wanted to be a writer? 2) where do you get your ideas from especially Totally Lucy there my fave will there be any more? 3)How long did it take you to write the first of the TL series and why did you choose the storyline you did? thanks from chrissie x

  135. Skicycle says:

    Hi Mrs. McKain,
    I love your books, especially Fairy house. Snowbell, Rosehip, Bluebell and Daisy are my favorite characters in the book, but Katie too! I have a question. I want to be a writer when I grow up but I don’t know what to do first. Any ideas? What inspires you? And why did you decide to write about fairies? I lived in England but I moved to America. PLease please please, write a new fairy house book. How about: Fairy Trouble, Fairy Magic, Magic Mixup, Fairy Wings, Fairy Fun, Fairy Faculty, Fairy School. Like any of those titles? Maybe they could meet a mean horrid fairy in a book. I’m on the second book in fairy house. Fairy for a day! What is your language? Every day I read your book during school: Independent reading, partner reading, recess, free time, sometimes lunch. Home: Breakfast, snack, dinner, before bedtime, weekends, Upstairs in my bedroom. I am embarrassed to announce but I read out loud your books. I’ve read them 100 times. What is your fav book you’ve wrote? I love love love fairy house books. Do you believe in them? I sort of do. Well, love the website about you and your books! How do you become a author?
    Best Wishes
    Write more books soon!
    Love Skicycle xxx

To answer the third one, no i didn’t think of being famous, and I don’t feel famous now at all (but its nice that you think I am!). As you’ll know,if you love writing, it’s one of those things you just have to do, whether you ever get anything published or not. I feel very very lucky that girls like you get to read by books, and i LOVE being an author! Good luck with your writing too – hope it’s going really well!

    Hi Kelly,

    My name is Amy and I live in London, England. When i’m older I REALLY want to be a writer… I looks soooo much fun you can spend all your time in your own world dreaming up new characters, places and well anything you want really!
    The only bad thing would be not being able to think of any new ideas or thinking of a fab idea but not being able to put it to paper! That must be annoying

  215. Fatin says:

    Heya Kelly,

    I have read the whole series of Totally Lucy series, and I enjoyed it so much!

    I love how you make a problem then she gets really worried, I even get worried too… that it won’t end right. Then it’ll get stuck in my head forever (well…until I finish the book)!!!

    My favourite is Summer Stars and Best Friends Forever!

    I love the illustrations, how about sending me a few tips maybe, because if I don’t achieve my writing business, I’ll definitely become an artist!!!

    Many fluffy and warm regards, Love Roshni Patelxx

    P.S. I’d appreciate some writing tips too!!!

  218. Louise A.K.A No#1 fan!!! says:

    Hi girls,
    Thanks for all your fab comments!
    Lina, good luck with your writing!
    Louise, great to hear that you love Half a Sister! thanks for being such a fab fan!
    Louise and Lina, the Lucy app won’t be out for quite a while, as it’s only just being developed now, but i’ll let yo know the second it is!!
    Thanks, Holly! MWAH!
    Fairy Morgan – Fab to hear you love the Fairy House books – I think Rosehip is my fave fairy too!
    Lauren – hope you’ve got some more hacks in since the snow melted!
    Thanks, Chloe!
    Jane, as for tips, I think, just remember that every girl goes through it and feels shy and worried about it too sometimes. If you have any worries, chat to your mum or a teacher you trust. xxx
    Sophie – wow, it really means a lot to me that Totally Lucy has got you into reading! Now try Cathy Cassidy and Karen McCombie’s books as well!
    Thanks to Lauren, Jessica, Sarah and Louise for the lovely XMas wishes. Happy new year to you and all you girls!
    Zanelli – writing AND drawing! Lucky you, i wish i could draw. Vici’s illustrations are FAB, aren’t they?!
    Lorna, see Got a Question and the Over to You pages for writing tips and inside info on being an author. I agree it would be fab to have a TV series of Pony Camp, let’s hope a TV company buys it!
    Love to all you girls! Kellyxx

  242. Kelly McKain says:

    Kaitlyn, there’s a glam party at the end of Star Struck, so you might find some ideas there. I went to a fab x-mas one once given by Scholastic the publisher where there were two big tables heaped with gorgeously-wrapped presents and you could just choose one! that was pretty cool! there was also one I went to where the brought out sushi on frozen metal trays so they had to wear gloves – also cool (literally!) hope that helps! xx

  243. Kelly McKain says:

    Zlatina (cool name, BTW!) the next question in ‘got a question’ will be about how to start writing a book so look out for that – and there are writing tips on the Over To You page too. Hope that helps! xx
    Hi Lauren and Charlotte, well done to you both in the dressage – you go girls!xx
    Kaitlyn and Isabel, thanks for sending/telling me about your writing, sounds fab! I’ll have a look soon when I get a mo, am just catching up with everything right now so won’t be long! xxx

  244. Kelly McKain says:

    Chloe, Georgia, Keely, Lucy, Tanya and Haseena, you girls were all asking about whether there will be any more Lucy books, or new books in general. It looks like no more Lucy at the moment I’m afraid, but I’ll let you know if that changes. As for new series, there is something in the pipeline which is secret at the mo but I’ll let you know the info as soon as I can, promise!!!
    PS. PS means post script – and no, i don’t get what that is either! xxxx

  245. Kelly McKain says:

    Thanks to Erin, Lucy, Abbie, Jessica, Chloe and Georgia, Angelce, Belinda and Naveli for your lovely comments. they mean so much to me and really inspire me. Mwah!!!xxx
    Haseena – Style School is my fave too!
    Lucy, what a fab idea for a Christmas book. I’ll run it by my editor at Usborne – maybe we could do something in time for next year! xx
    Ummi, sorry you’re having trouble finding books in Malaysia – maybe Amazon can send them. I don’t have book stocks to send out, I’m afraid – let me know if you do find a way to get hold of them as i know other girls in your situation would love to know. xxx
    Wow, Louise, after reading your message (and are you also Louise Lennon or are there two extremely nice Louises??) I might treat myself to a Curly Wurly, although it is honestly true that I’ve alaredy had three today (whoops! i blame the cold weather!). that’s if i can get my head out of my study door after all your nice comments!

    Hi girls! Thanks for all your fab messages! Sorry I haven’t written for a while, I have had a revolting lurgacious coldy-type thing which wouldn’t go for ages and then I’ve been catching up on all the work I got behind on! But i’m here now (yes, Erin, this is really me my actual self!) so get ready for all the replies…

    Dear Kelly,
    Me and one of my friends are very passionate about writing and have started a blog: “The Secret Life of the Bels”. If you can, would you be able to read our blog from the 1st blog and perhaps tell us what you think of it? The recent posts are better so you might like to just read the posts of your interest! The URL is: thesecretlifeofthebels.blogspot.com
    Thank you so much for your time! xxx Isabel

    Thanks so much for your comment! Could you get someone to help you send it in English so I can put it up? Thanks! Kellyx

  277. Kelly McKain says:

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for your message about the Fairy House books. Unfortunately there are problems getting hold of these books, and you can read the full update and info on the Fairy House page of this site. I’m not sure where you live but you should be able to get hold of books 5-8 via Amazon.co.uk so I guess that’s something. As you’ll see from the full info page, this is completely out of my hands and I’m very sorry you can’t get hold of all the books. Kellyx

  278. Kelly McKain says:

    Lily – good luck with your writing! You can find a whole load of writing tips in the OVER TO YOU bit of the site.
    Lucylou – thanks for your fab ideas! Totally Jules would be WILD wouldn’t it?!
    Tanya, it doesn’t look like there’ll be any more at the mo, but I am developing a new comedy journal series so i’ll let you know when there’s any news on that!

    Hi Kelly!!

    I am Lucy, and I am 13 (nearly 14; October 2nd!!). I love the Totally Lucy series; best books EVER!!!!

    Thoughts and dreams? Hmmm . . . . let me see . . .

    Thoughts: I love cats, and I think about them a lot. I also love the colour pink, and I think about how pink I could make my dream house.

    Dreams: I dream about publishing my first book in secret, and how I tell my parents and friends about it! It’s sad, I know, but it’s a great dream.

    Faves: I love the colour pink, cats . . . erm . . . and TOTALLY LUCY!!

    Ambition: To be a published author who illustrates her books, and live in a pink mansion with 30 cats and suuuuuuper fit boyfriend :)

  314. Georgia says:

    Hello Kelly,
    I have sent a book to you and I hope you enjoy it! It is called the confusing life of emily and i hope you get it in the post!! I love your totally lucy books sooo much and i wish i could write books like you, i like number 4 STAR STRUCK!

  315. Mio Kitaura says:

    Hello!
    My name is Mio.
    I’m 8 years old.
    I’m Japanese, living in Berlin.

    I love to ride –
    I really would like to join a pony camp in Sunnyside Stables!
    Is it a real one?

    My mother is a translator.
    She has already published a few books,
    and I want her to translate this pony camp series into Japanese.
    These diaries are the first books that I read throughly in English!
    I started learning English when I moved to Berlin, one year ago!

    Bye!

  316. Annabelle + Georgina Goldsmith says:

    Hi Kelly McKain

    Just to say that we really, really, REALLY like your Totally Lucy books. We have both read all of them and Georgina also has read and likes Mermaid Rock and Fairy House.
    We really like the Totally Lucy books because they are about fashion and about what every girl goes through at school.
    We especially like Catwalk Crazy and Best Friends Forever.

    Annabelle and Georgina Goldsmith

    P.S. Love the illustrations!
