Happy #NationalPoetryDay to all who celebrate!

Can you believe I now have 30 children's poems up on the Dirigible Balloon website (along with many other fab poets)?! Here they are in all their glory - have a browse if you have a moment.

Thanks to @northernjim.bsky.social for having me!

Happy #WorldVegetarianDay from the World's First Vegetarian Fox!

Outside the Box is a rhyming picture book that celebrates staying true to yourself and following your dreams (even if it is a bit scary). For Fennel that was opening a vegetarian cafe, but what will it be for you?

Fennel's just found out it was #nationalfoxday yesterday and he didn't do anything to celebrate!

It's just ONE week until Outside the Box publishes!

Have you pre-ordered yourself a copy yet? It's available on Amazon, Waterstones, Foyles and Barnes & Noble if you're in the US!

Me and Fennel would love it if you did 🦊

Have you heard the news? It seems that Supermoon is putting on a super show tonight as there is a #lunareclipse! Just a partial one here in the UK, but if you're in America or Canada you'll be treated to the whole display.
