I'm in Maidstone next Saturday for crafts and book signing if anyone is local! I'll have bookmarks and origami sausage dogs for Michael fans too. And treats for any doggos 🥰

'This is just for us. This is ours.'

Ages ago, I wrote books about the Casson family, & as a bit of extra publicity, Rose Casson wrote a blog on my website. R's Blog was published as a free ebook.
It vanished. For ages I've told kind readers who ask for it that it no longer exists.

On hols & reading The Last Devil To Die. I’ve tended to think of these books as enjoyable light reading - & they are, but in the BEST way! Richard Osman writes with such charm & insight & poignancy! His characterisation is beautifully done. Immense respect! ♥️

🎉Woohoo! Very exciting news. This book is SO MUCH FUN!!! Michael is a supawstar! 😍🎉

Happy Saturday! Check out this marvellous stack of new publishing! What's on your reading list?

I read this at the seaside at high tide. Brilliant, clever, imaginative fun from Clare Harlow

Cracking start to the week thanks to Simply Books, PuffinBooks and 400 pupils at Beaver Rd Primary. Grilk will be in Bramhall for another day and I’ve left behind stacks of signed Tidemagics 😊

Last day to meet Grilk at Waterstones Trafford Centre 🤩 but there should still be signed copies of #Tidemagic in stock

(Grilk was designed by Hannah Postlethwaite and made by Caroline Perry, Tidemagic cover is by Karl James Mountford and the PuffinBooks design team)

Among all its excellent episodes, this week's The Write & Wrong Podcast podcast is particularly good. Jamie Greenwood's trademark insight and generosity allow Philip Kavvadias to share his story with honesty and humour. I’m looking forward to that graphic novel…

If you're after a signed copy of the special indies edition of #Tidemagic (complete with a little bit of bonus content), do check out Fox Lane Books 🦊 🤩 PuffinBooks Amber Caraveo 🌻😻🌻
