Happy neurodiversity pride day!
I can announce Minna’s Masks will be out in August!
This story explores masking alongside Minna as she navigates her new school.
With empathy & understanding we can make safe space for everyone, with or without needing to mask.

Oh the privilege of celebrity where they can just do what you want with no regard to others.
These big names don’t need extra promo or £££.
There are creatives trying to make change in the world with their work who struggle to pay the bills, yet this dude will still be pumping out books for years.

Proud of this one.
A week of GCSE exams & anxiety has been HIGH.
Today she did her first stint at volunteering for @breakcharity.bsky.social - it was a challenge she said (lots of masking her autism & anxiety) but ,after a much needed power nap on the way home, said she’d like to do it again.

My silly little demon kitty stole some brocolli tonight and was guarding it with all his might. It was far more entertaining than the superbowl my partner was trying to watch 🤣

Addressing this because I know it doesn’t just happen to me. Someone finds out you are a published author & tells you they want you to help them break into the industry with ‘your influence’ or with a collaborative project.
You politely turn them down as you just don’t have the time …😳 #UKKidlit

To then get divorced, meet someone amazing, spend your first xmas together and he goes out to buy flowers to say ‘thank you for a wonderful xmas.’
I got my first ever thank you!!! 🤩

Found a review on Amazon of Wonderfully Wired Brains where someone was not happy with the fact I included pages on depression and anxiety, because…what do these have to do with being neurodivergent?!
Oh my love… go do some more research and make yourself a cup of tea… #Depression #ADHD #KidLitUK
