None of the talk about how harmful social media is for kids balances that with a discussion of how useful and beneficial it is for them. It helps with loneliness, is a source of friendship and of information, and helps them find solace when their ‘offline’ lives are harmful or miserable. 1/4

New on the blog today, I've written about CROOKED CROSS by Sally Carson.

A brilliant, terrifying novel about the rise of Nazism, the falling apart of a country’s codes of decency & the moral fortitude required to oppose persecution. Frighteningly timely. 💙📚

Quite a fitting announcement for Halloween methinks...Very thrilled to be back for my 4th @davekki.bsky.social live-action video game! It's been such a joy filming and recording with Tim, Lynda and Rachel again! And no spoilers about the demo but the game's shaping up very nicely indeed! 🎮😍
Delighted to announce the return of Klemens Koehring as Doctor Franz, the therapist’s therapist, in The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker 2! ❤️🛋️

Klemens is also the first person to play the Dekker 2 demo outside of us D’Avekkians and it was lovely to watch him enjoying it :)

The big thing I did this year and haven't been able to say much about up until now is that I was SOMEHOW asked to illustrate the new Folio Society edition of A Christmas Carol, introduced by Simon Callow. Bit of a dream job. www.foliosociety.com/uk/a-christm...

My first book, Night Terrors, came out three years ago today. I wrote it to make sense of my own spooky sleep, but also to help people talk about their parasomnias and to know they're not alone.
