Hello 😊
My name is Megan Rix and I’m Knightsfield’s new Reading Patron. I met some of you with my dogs Bella and Freya when I came to visit at the end of April. Freya loved meeting everyone and we are both looking forward to coming back to see you soon!

Welcome back to school everyone. I hope you had a great summer.
I’ve been busy promoting my new book: Lizzie and Lucky ‘The Mystery of the Lost Chicken’
Last Saturday we were at Kettering Literary Festival.
My top tips for creative writers are:
Have a great day!
Reading for Pleasure
Have a good day!
I didn’t win the IBC Award 🥲 but I’m happy to say ‘The Mystery of the Lost Chicken’ is still going to be translated into British Sign Language this year! Woohoo – so happy. I’ve been taking my level 4 BSL exams. Hope I pass 🤞. Have you got exams this year?
Hello everyone, I hope you are well and enjoying the Spring. I’ve been busy working on a new book. Have you read any good books recently? I’ve been reading lots of history books about how people lived in Georgian times. I’m glad I didn’t live back then!
I love reading stories about animals. My favourite was about a pig called Esther who inspired the Happily Ever Esther Animal Sanctuary. What’s your favourite animal? Mine are my dogs, Freya and Ellie. What’s your favourite animal story?
I’m asked how I get story ideas but I’ve always had more story ideas than I could ever write. Sometimes a picture will give me an idea – I like writing stories inspired by a picture like this one. How do you get your story ideas?
More sign language exams! We all failed level 4 the first time we took it – so now we’re taking the exams again. Busy busy! This is a picture of my office (looking tidy for a change) but it’s being re-decorated now.
I’m becoming a publisher. Harriet Dancing is in sign language on You Tube but I’ve run out of copies and can’t get anymore. Luckily the publisher has given me the rights so I’m going to try and publish it myself and then I can give away more copies. Anyone want one?
So hot! I’ve been filming the last bit for the Royal Association of the Deaf sign language translation of The Mystery of the Missing Puppies. I’ll send you a link as soon as it’s finished and online J This is a picture of me filming at Woburn Safari park for my book The Runaways.
My lovely dogs, Freya and Ellie, who some of you met, have both had cruciate ligament injuries and now have to sleep downstairs (and not on the bed) for months. We’re sleeping downstairs too! Luckily they’re improving and should be back swimming in the river soon.
At the start of October I got my orange belt in Kung Fu! Woohoo!
Do you like Halloween? I do and I like scary stories as well I wrote a whole series of books about a witch called Bella Donna (not very scary) under my other name of Ruth Symes. They sold all over the world. I was even part of a Scarefest. I named my dog Bella after the books because her birthday was on Halloween.
