Popping up here to say hello booky friends.

I’ve been working like a husky all year on my book - to a deadline which often felt out of reach.

With my tail wagging, I’m happy to say the book is finally done!

And I’m off on holiday on Wednesday to celebrate!! 🙌

How are you all?!

Meeting Levi Pinfold for the very 1st time!

He’s in London this week (lives in Australia with his family) so finally got to say hello in person. 😀

This is after 4 books together & a soon-to-be announced 5th one.

And he really is just as lovely as he is talented.

My fav WBD visit was to a school where everyone wore PJs for cosy reading 🥰 I love these resources from @literacy-trust.bsky.social to help provide alternatives to dressing up, so every child can participate & celebrate stories without expectations for costumes 📚

Fab new booky news from @amdassu.bsky.social !!! I love it already 😍
Here’s my new book announcement! I didn’t dare to dream I’d be able to write my very own story collection until my dear agent Julia and the brilliant team at Zephyr, Head of Zeus (part of Bloomsbury) suggested it. These timeless stories are unlike anything I’ve written;they’ve stretched my writing/1

This ⬇️
We need honest conversations about what authors are paid + the lack of respect for their time.
Specifically the way events are organised; the distance, no of attendees(e.g. is it worth travelling 200miles for 10 attendees) and pay.
Authors are expected to be grateful and not paid accordingly. Why?

Parents regularly ask me “How do I get my child to read?” I ask them “How much do you read in front of your kids?”
My parents read a lot in front of me.
One of the books on my Dad’s bookshelf was this one. I vaguely remember him telling me about it when I asked. Finally got round to reading it…
