Good morning Blue Sky! I’m thrilled to reveal the cover to mine and Jo Lindley’s new picture book - CHI CHI THE PANDA which will be out 4th June 2026!!!

It’s my first picture book and Jo has created the cutest and fluffiest panda! It’s historical non-fiction too so you’ll learn stuff too!

It's Remembrance Sunday and let's remember that the black and brown people fought and died as part of the Allies too.

In my new novel - Nate Yu's Blast From the Past
I feature a ghost from the Chinese Labour Corp because it was important for me to tell readers about this often untold history.

There are amazing non-fiction books! My eldest loved MURDEROUS MATHS and read it over and over. I met the author this year which was lovely. #KidsBooksFriday #UKKIDLIT

Happy Halloween!!! 🎃

It's halloween and my new book has a GHOST in it!!!! I kinda forgot because he's a lovely guy! It's not a scary book, and it is gently supernatural!

I'm dressed a panda (hint to my next published book! 😱 which is for Early Years/KS1)

I'm going to be doing some school visits in Hong Kong next year! How exciting! I feels pretty amazing knowing there will be kids in Hong Kong reading my books. How lucky am I!!!

It’s always great to have some stats to back up what you already feel.

I don’t often go out but tonight I went to see Arrows Meet in Glasgow and had a nice dance! I want to get a glitterball helmet!

I followed a guy named Danny Chung years ago when my book came out and yesterday the real Danny Chung (the voice of Baby Saja in K-Pop Demon Hunters) told me he knew about my book! What a fun little exchange!

GLASGOW PALS! I'm going to be doing a FREE interactive author talk @ this year's Byre Road Book Festival which takes place 25-28th Sept. I will be talking about my new novel Nate Yu's Blast From the Past and I will even bring about the 1917 shell casing I have!

Well, I used Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths a lot in schools to promote making comics, or drawing hybrid creatures and then coming up with a storyling for them like Danny and Ravi do in the book. I would say stuff like the Treehouse books, Loki and Jen Carney books for line drawings of people.

I rarely have photoshoots but I had three in August and this was one of them! I am the excitable face of the BYRES ROAD BOOK FESTIVAL 2025 along with the very cool Muckler @michaelpedersen.bsky.social - Byres Road Book Festival will be 25-28th Sept 2025. Programme incoming! byresroadbookfestival.com

I’ve been storytelling to very small children today. I was singing (sorta), doing actions, running around with kids following me and acting a little. 30 mins talking (outside with no mic) with little kids and adults talking is not easy. I give myself a pat on the back!

Here are the books I’ve read over the summer (and I read King of Nothing too. It left it in Spain) - yes I read my own book (well half of it).

I’ve just finished this and I loved it!!! It’s got ghosts, guppies, vulture looking people, Jamaican food and characters, a young filmmaker and it’s funny. Highly recommend as a class read!
August 17, 2025 at 10:53 AM
I’ve just finished DEAD YARD: SEEDS OF DOOM (PJ KILLBURN & M JENAI) it was funny, i learned about Jamaican folklore & supernatural stuff, it uses patois and is based in Shepherd’s Bush! I read a bit of an article the other day that talked about the tragic decline in children’s lit because of vocab…

@edbookfest.bsky.social begins tomorrow! Check out the new book by @alastairc.com BLITZERS which doesn't come out until next week!

Everyone is desperate to have a Blitzer, the new fighting-game craze. But at what cost?

I did something very typical for me. I made a social media asset for my Edinburgh Intl Book Festival appearance and I out the wrong date on it. I have typos in EVERYTHING I write pretty much. I just don't see them.
