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...

What a Morning! Chapter 16 of Chumley & Hudson Investigates Book 3 just rocked into life! 1335 words down and a turning point in the plot; new friend made and a villain ready to be beaten. But will they go quietly? Or will the Egyptian god have one final dastardly act up their sleeves?
February 7, 2025 at 12:24 PM
Chapter 15 of Chumley & Hudson Investigate, Book 3 has slid into life. 889 words and it was done. Villain has taken the prize and now the life of an innocent is in peril. Will the ressurected Egyptian goddess get a sacrifice? Will the heroines arrive in time? But of course they will . . . 🙂😉
February 6, 2025 at 1:31 PM
Chumley & Hudson Investigate, Book 3. Chapter 14 has touched down with 1253 words. Parking a Sopwith outside a hotel seems not to be the done thing! The tide has turned but the villain has the prize in their grasp! Who will win the next battle?

Ten days, one poorly cat, & 3.5k words later, chapters 12 & 13 of Chumley & Hudson Investigates Book 3 are down on paper. Daredevil action for lead protagonist, and start of another rescue! Phew, time for a cuppa and a nap. About 3 chapters left to write in this untitled first manuscript.

Chapter 11 of Chumley & Hudson Bk 3 is done. 3,000 words down since last post and both heroines are ready for a long weekend. But will they get it (hint:-NO!) Can't wait for chapters 12 to 16. 17 & 18 finale are already written! Onwards and upwards. #UKKidLit #KidLit #KidLitUK #KS2 #Fiction

1,500 words later and Ch 10 has scorched into life with a desert rescue. But another protagonist faces deadlier jaws. Chapter 11 promises to be high flying fun! Chumley& Hudson Investigate Book3 races on to the gripping conclusion

Well, that surprised me. Chapter 9 has come and gone. Not displeased with result, and the rescue posse are gathered and off with tails held high. But will they be in time to stop the hooded villain from striking? #KidLitUK #UKKidLIt #KS2 #MiddleGrade #fiction
January 12, 2025 at 11:23 AM
Finally we've got 2,200 more words down and Ch8 is done! The villain is loose and my protagonists are caught in separate deadly beastly plights. Not so much of when the cavalry shall come, but if! Chapter 9 awaits the brave/foolhardy hero #KidlitUK #UKKidlit #KS2 #Fiction #Middlegrade

Chapter 7 of Chumley & Hudson book 3 is done. Word count is OK. One of my protagonists is now out of the frying pan. But should I tell her she's just about to land in the fire? The New Year concert from Vienna was a delight. Now, wine & watching National Theatre on-line.🙂 TTFN 👋 #UKKidLit #KidLitUK
January 1, 2025 at 2:28 PM
Yay, rounding off 2024 by hitting Ch 7 and 11535 words of latest Chumley & Hudson adventure! Both heroines are well and truely in a pickle and no cavalry on the horizon. What will tomorrow bring, rescue or disaster? Happy New Year everyone! #KidLitUK #UKKidLit #MiddleGrade #KS2

End of a long quiet day. Chapter 5 nailed, in principal. Chapter 6 awaits and I have left a protagonist literally in the jaws of danger!
What will a new day and week bring, I wonder? Me thinks I move over to the other key protagonist to move their half of the adventure along..... then coffee.
