I write for younger folk, creating unique tales.
Have a story idea for your child, or a child you know? I'm happy to craft a positive story for them.
These will go into published anthologies, which will be anonymised to protect your loved one's privacy

Whoops, I meant to say
I love to write stories for children. Looking for tips to get started.
I've got lots of ideas for stories, so bear with me as I release them for everyone to enjoy.
Sometimes it's difficult to find a good way to finish a good story, what do you think?

#ValentinesDay doesn't need to cost more than simply loving the one you're with.
Also Buy an Ebook and save a tree at the same time....

Each of the #MaisieCooperMysteries is stand-alone, but there's a couple of big background stories that take six books to tell :-) coming to a climax in #MurderAtTheWedding - so satisfying to write - @HodderFiction @LBA_agency

Excellent chat this evening to the American College MFA in Publishing students, talking agents, how to pitch and what publishers are looking for plus how publishing works. Such a fabulous group of writers!

I've been working hard on a children's book. Have to admit it's been a little hard to focus.
Any one else having issues writing in January?

As delightful as it is illuminating, #An-Incomplete-Education packs a thousand years of culture into a single readable volume. This book celebrates, shares, and gives
#history to pore over and browse through, and to return to again and again.

Our hidden and complex history of beach shacks. theconversation.com/beach-shacks...
Beach shacks are an iconic part of Australian summer. Yet, they also have a hidden, more complex history
Beach shacks have long been isolated and precarious. What we find charming today was once considered ‘fringe-dwelling’, separated from cities along racial and economic lines.

Thread on why you should buy books in a series, even if the series isn't done (and even if some other author has not completed their own series). It comes down to: 99.9% of the time, supporting the author at publication GREATLY increases the chance of getting to see the entire series published.
Getting a lot of "I tried that, but Game of Thrones, Wheel of Time and Kingkiller ruined me!" replies.
Pull up a chair and I'll explain how publishing works.

I know others have said this, but if you love a series, BUY THE BOOKS AS THEY COME OUT. You can go on a reading spree later, but for the love of god, buy the books now.

While we’re banning books…
Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.
Be. Like. Finland.
