All packed and looking forward to a fun day of school visits tomorrow with @ykidsbootle and Bootle Lit Festival 2025. So much for travelling light!

How can this be a year ago! I still can't believe my amazing book cover illustration by @flaviasorr was turned into a pumpkin carving.

Will be eternally grateful

I had a fantastic long weekend in London then topped it all off with a visit to Roehampton Library where I finally got to hang with the formidable octoberjonesco.bsky.social and teach her how to snake dab.

Thanks so much for having me, October. You really are a true library hero 💛💛💛

What an absolutely gorgeous book launch. Cocktails, painting, pick n mix and lovely people and vibe, Amie Jordan has set a new standard for book launches 💜💜💜

Do check out Amie's fab new release All the Lost Souls, the second installment in her Manchester romantasy series All the Hidden Monsters

📝 Misrule reigned yesterday at Kings Cross Library in Halifax as our amazing young writers learnt about the Saturnalia King and wrote a manifesto for mischief.

What would you do if you were tasked with causing mischief & hosting a day of feasting and festivities?📜

Morning Manchester based #edusky! I just wanted to tell you about this brilliant KS2 writing comp I am judging - prize a class trip to the Museum of Illusions in Manchester. Full details on the museum website - link in comments.

Happy International Women's Day! There's still so much to fight for and I hope the characters I write will continue to show girls and boys there is no one way to be a woman.

📖 I am super excited to be celebrating #WorldBookDay25 at the Museum of Illusions. Did you know they have a portal? An actual real-life portal? Where better for me to share my own portal stories and tell you how reading transported me to places I could never have imagined 📖

Author out-takes!

Seriously, is there any such thing as a quick author video?

Worth it though to capture that Wallace like facial impression. Just need to get Miss Woo to pose as Gromit now 🐾
