Also, Ginny is keeping me company this afternoon. She truly loves a notebook, and she’s clearly quite interested in giving Fyn 1 another read! Love my furbabies!

What I’m doing now is working on a ‘Carter Compendium’ to make my life easier as I progress with the series. I’ll also be reading ‘Fyn Carter and the Legends from Atlantis’ for the first time since it was released in May 2025!

It’s a bit scary (the fear of finding eeky things in the writing), but I am actually really enjoying the story (as strange as it feels to say that about something I’ve written) and refamiliarising myself with the characters.

Will he defeat the monster? Will regular life prove more challenging than the supernatural?

Thank you to all who have championed this book. I will always be grateful to you.

Happy Halloween 🎃

Narrated by the amazing Max Dowler, it has been a lot of fun to hear him bring The Shoe Creeper and its characters to life. Even though it’s a spooky tale, Max had me laughing several times. I’m excited for you to experience it this way!

Thanks again to all the readers, authors, and book lovers I got to speak with, and to all who bought a book and/or merch. If you’re soon to start a Fyn Carter adventure or discover The Shoe Creeper, I hope you love it! If you do, please spread the word.

PS - Check out that sweet fan mail! ☺️

…truly ready to zonk out!

As you may know, I’ve spent the last few weeks ensuring I’m in a better place to pick up on words and a better routine soon. I really can’t wait to do this, and I’m going to take my learnings so far and do things differently in 2026.

…plenty of other readers! A few chats will really stick with me! Teeth - Looking forward to checking that out, Helen, and The Shoe Creeper is off to Norway! Thanks, Kathinka!

I’ve had a hectic few months and do think I needed more of a recharge before this one, but it was enjoyable, and now I’m…

More than that, this year I’m also going to be at MCM Comic Con Birmingham for the first time at the end of November (still working out logistics for that 😂)!

Come say hi, chat books, and pick up signed copies of my stories for you, your loved ones, and whoever else you like 😁

See you there!

This means you can request it in bookshops, schools, and libraries, and it’s also available online via Amazon, Waterstones, Foyles, Browns Books, and Barnes & Noble. If you spot it elsewhere, please let me know :)

Wishing you happy bookish adventures!
