Happy publication day to THE CLOUD KINGDOM by Máire Zepf and Andrew Whitson!

This gorgeously illustrated archipelago of new fairytales is a celebration of stories and books. An ideal Christmas gift for a young storyteller!

Join us in Belfast on Saturday for the launch at No Alibis!

It has been an absolute joy working on this with Máire and Andy -- true masters of their craft.

This is a perfect blend of the traditional and the new, of classic hand drawn illustration and illuminating tales plucked from the skies and beyond.

I can't wait for you all to see it.
COVER REVEAL!

Prepare to enter the The Cloud Kingdom, an otherworldly collection of stories by Máire Zepf, hand illustrated by Andrew Whitson.

This is bedtime storytelling reimagined. You won't want to miss it.

Launching October 23rd

Dear God! Linehan was NOT arrested for “gender critical” tweets, or tweets about “trans issues”!
He was arrested for tweets calling on people to violently attack trans people in public bathrooms, or (cos he’s a feminist 🙄) if the police won’t help to find the nearest “big strapping bloke” to do it

Day 2 of #BCBF2025 is a wrap!

We’ve done a week’s worth of talking today! Meeting book people from around the world. Capped by the great tradition of the Irish party this evening.

Huge thanks to Culture Ireland and Children’s Books Ireland for making this possible 🙏💚

Delighted to be editing Ruth Ennis's hauntingly beautiful Shorelines, which holds a mirror up to the society and beauty standards we live in and by today as well as exploring the complexities of grief, self-image and love in all their forms.
Coming 2026!
