Tymes Trust Alert 2011-06 Message from Jane 26 June 2011 ====== Follow Jane on Twitter @JaneCColby (see link at www.tymestrust.org) ====== MEET TYMES TRUST YOUNG AUTHOR AT WATERSTONE'S Fairy costumes welcome! ====== Our Young Author, now in her early twenties, is reading her magical books at Waterstone's in July and August and would love to meet you. Hannah Titania Middleton (professional name Hannah Titania) has developed her skill and talent to become a children's author and illustrator despite her ME. Here she is reading to her niece ... http://bit.ly/ht-reading and this is the book she was reading ... http://bit.ly/ht-cover Hannah says: "If any Tymes Trust members want to come along to the events I would love to meet them. I am hoping to play my harp and I will be wearing my fairy dress and reading stories, there will be colouring in for the kids too! I will be visiting stores in Glasgow, Manchester, Southampton and other places." Everyone at the Trust would be so pleased if some of you could go along to one of these events to meet Hannah - she will have her family supporting her so that she is able to pace herself carefully and take lots of rest.

Hannah tells me that anyone who manages to get there should "Let me know they are from the Tymes Trust - I will make them feel extra welcome!" An illustrated leaflet has been created telling you more about Hannah. This one's for the Trafford Centre event: http://bit.ly/ht-leaflet You can visit www.hannahtitania.com where you can contact Hannah and tell her if you're hoping to get to an event. The website says: "I would like to welcome you to explore my world and get lost in the magic!" Don't forget to let me know about your own successes. No young person with ME should ever feel a failure because they can't get to school, or to university. Too often, it's the system that fails them, not the other way around.
