Myself and @sineadohart.bsky.social had the immense privilege of speaking with @ianeagletonauthor.bsky.social this week on Storyshaped, & it was a heartfelt, moving, & very fun conversation about finding your own voice, fighting against prejudice, and (not) fitting in.

Called into @waterstones.bsky.social Putney today to sign my book and immediately sold a signed copy to a lovely woman who was looking for a present for a 12-year-old boy. Flying off the shelves, I tell ya!

Spotted in the window of my favourite Stoke Newington Bookshop. So I popped in and signed the stack of books they had and they told me The World Between the Rain was one of their children’s books recommendations in their newsletter!

Signed copies (incl. a rainy doodle) available now
