I loved this series! One of my favourites. I’m forever recommending it to my English students.

It’s so great when children find the book that snaps everything into place for them. It’s even better if you’re the one who gave it to them! Well done 😊

I love this book!

Definitely! I find writing when you’re in the mood for a scene infinitely improves what you actually write, too.

I write fantasy stories, so I aim for as close to a 60k total as possible (although occasionally it is a struggle to keep it to that!)

I definitely overwrite in my first drafts though: my original draft of Elder Throne was 73k and it now sits at a neat 60k! (The editing stage was… intense 😂)

That’s lovely! She sounds like a very sweet girl.

I’m not sure how I feel about the idea of tea with whipped cream but the thought is definitely there!

Oof, you have my sympathies. Make sure you treat yourself to something nice / tasty too. Chocolate and tea work wonders!

I hope your neck feels better soon!

Thank you for the luck though! ☺️

Thank you! It’s been a long time coming, I’ve been blind in that eye on and off since I was 11, so it’ll be a novelty if it works 😅

The Power is a brilliant rec, thank you! I loved the show but haven’t actually read the book yet. I’ll download it now 😁
