Yeah- as you might have guessed, my name IS Taylor Bates. See it? Right up there? In the big blue letters? Yep! You got it. I would never have dreamed that any of my books have been published- never mind how much of a success it's been! A big thank you to all those wonderful people who bought my book (Which, by the way, is fabulous). So, if you've read The Russian Doll and are looking forward to more Charlie action, then get stuck into The Promise. It's the sequel to my book, and is to be released VERY soon! (Hopefully!) As well as my Charlie project (There may be a third book...), I am starting a new set of books based on seasons. My first draft is going well. I CAN reveal that it is called A year without Summer! Once again, thank you for buying! Taylor :D About Taylor Bates Taylor Bates is a talented 12 year old girl from the North East of England.
