My MG horror #onsubmission: THE NESTING ROOM.
Wild dark magic hides on the streets of London. 12-year-old Tilly’s life is a nightmare. A servant of the shapeshifting Magpie Queen & her flock, forced to lure humans so the magpies can rob them of their shiny Trinkets – then eat them alive #kidlitUK

Heading in a Thought Bubble direction! A few days early as we thought we'd make a proper holiday of it. Gonna be a 10/10 lovely long weekend.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

If everything goes according to plan, I should have a little time in December to do some free query edits. If you're querying a novel now or plan to be next year, follow me here (and tell your friends!)

Utterly WIPED OUT from MCM, and there was still so much of it I didn't have time to see!! But I was very busy winning a cosplay award (and answering some very exciting emails whilst queuing for overpriced chips 👀)

Is it just me or has the book-to-movie pipeline slowed WAY down? Twilight was published in 2005 and the first movie was on screens in 2008, whereas I haven't heard even a peep about the promised Skandar, Onyeka and Iron Widow adaptations for example.
