DO NOT SAY THESE WORDS, @francestosdevin.bsky.social @uclanpublishing.bsky.social IS our HOT KS1 review. Too much giggle-gas produced from saying certain words threatens world safety. The solution: say something less gigglesome. Awesome fun for 6yr+➡️ erinthecatprincess.blogspot.com/2025/03/do-n...

I’m delighted to share that I’m now represented by Georgia Tournay-Godfrey at

Look what I spotted— my lovely friend’s debut with Jellycat! Congrats @meredithvighauthor.bsky.social !!! 🐻🎒🌏

Happy Publication Day to me!

And Happy New Year to everyone else!

I decided to do a 'silent launch' for this book, but now it's launched, I hope people will begin to buy it and enjoy it!

Think Frostblood or like a dark, older version of Frozen!

Tired of shopping? Fed up with consumerism? I have just the tonic...

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐅𝐔𝐋 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 (02/01/25 Andersen Press) illust by Ali Pye: Squirrel doesn’t know what The Really Beautiful Thing is, or even what it does, but it’s AMAZING, and he wants it...

Big thanks to @pippagoodhart.bsky.social for her lovely review… ⭐️🔭

So thrilled to announce the publication of my first novel.
The Binding Spell is a young adult contemporary fantasy, full of dark academia, folk horror and the supernatural. In 2023 it won the Times/Chicken House competition. It will be published by Chicken House on 8 May 2025

🎉I've just received advance copies of Croc's Cooking Day, out with @littletigeruk.bsky.social in January, and it's so lovely to hold and play with the finished novelties! Second in a series of novelty board books about Busy Chores for Little Paws, with two more still to come! 🐊🥞

A very SILLY, festive first post from me to say 'Hi' to everyone in the kidlit community! I'm a children's author, mainly writing picture books and I'd love to chat bookish things! My next picture book is out on Jan 2nd... more on that soon!
