I’m Cara, and I live in Coldstream, in the Scottish Borders As well as writing and illustrating books for children I have recently been painting on canvas, in my octagonal studio (aka The Tardis) which inhabits a corner of the vegetable garden. My work for children has been published in several countries, and translated into different languages. My favourite form at the moment is the picture book, but I have also had published poetry, children’s novels, and illustrations for the work of other authors, and have worked extensively on projects with children. I go out most days with my camera and create blog entries from the results. Some of the pictures I take will be used as background material for the picture book which I am working on at the moment. My son Matty set up this WordPress blog for me, and it has added a dimension to my life which surprises me. It is also interesting and inspiring to read the blogs of other people from different parts of the world, and to look at their sometimes fascinating pictures.

It looks lovely. I should like to buy a copy for my grandson when it’s ready.

I would really like to sign a copy for him when the book is printed. Scans have been sent to the printers for colour tests, so the next step is the book itself, it should be ready within a few weeks. Now I will have to think of other ways to occupy myself.

I need to contact Cara Lockhart Smith with regard to acquiring permission to use a poem from Riding to Canonbie, which we are hoping to compose music for.

Hi Carol
Don’t know whether you got my reply, sorry it has taken so long, I didn’t get notice of your comment. Of course you can use my poem set to music for your charity. Best wishes. Cara
