Ooh, look what I spotted in the latest Sweet Cherry Publishing Limited catalogue! It looks like the next two Christie and Agatha books will be published in July and September next year. It’s still a while away but I’m already excited for their return. 😁📚🔍

Today is #Take10ToRead day, a reminder that taking even 10 minutes a day to relax through reading can really raise your mood and decrease your stress.

My favourite places to read are on the train, in bed and when I’m eating by myself. You can maybe guess where my reading time today is taking place!

When I was little I had a kitten-sized cat called Treacle who wanted to do everything with me. Her favourite thing was to sit on my shoulders as I walked around and did things. Perfect pirate kitty.

To celebrate Christie and Agatha's adventures being translated into 10 languages (not including English!), I've made a little blog post showcasing the covers of some of the translated overseas editions of the Christie and Agatha series. 🔍📚

I drew on a rock. To make it look more like a rock. Success??

(First attempt! Present for aunt and uncle)

Thank you to all the lovely people who visited my stall at my first U.K. con! I had a wonderful time. 🥳
(And thank you for the balloon dog and rubber ducky pressies!)

Ring of Brodgar watercolour sketch done in situ (with help from kind passing doggo). Very lucky with the weather!

I did a lot of doodle requests for children who came into the shop, too, and had some good challenges. Cue me wondering exactly where a dolphin’s fins go!

Thank you so much to the Orcadian bookshop for such a wonderful book signing event. I had a lovely time meeting fans (including a budding mystery writer with a notebook full of questions for me), listening to people tell me about themselves and their families - and of course signing books!

My first time seeing my books in a newspaper! I’m bouncing around like an overexcited puppy (pippy?) right now! Thank you so much to the (Peedie) Orcadian for featuring Christie and Agatha’s Detective Agency: The Composer Crisis!

Found some Sonic drawings I did back when my age was in single digits. I’d still go for this tamagotchi now, to be honest.

Here's a little cutesy-style drawing I did of the main characters in the comic I write, called "Assassins Want to Learn English, Too!"

From top left to bottom right, they are: Alice, Chinatsu, Fiction, Hadrian and Vul.

I'm just a hobbyist but I'd love to hear what people think of them!
