Hello Liz Pichon My daughter is complaining that her arm aches because she spent an awfully long time drawing this!

It's that time again. 2 days left to get tickets...

It seems I'm going to be a YA debutant. This is surprisingly nerve-racking!

I'm going to bake myself a small cake.

And, for early support and kind words, I'd like to thank: everyone Andersen Press Jasper Fforde @susinnielsen Jessica Scott-Whyte Graeme Simsion and Ciara Smyth (you don't seem to be on Twitter anymore, so I'm sending this message telepathically).

Anyone else just going to keep on calling it Twitter?

Proud of Sheffield City Council for taking a stand and backing an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The UK government and opposition's refusal to do likewise is utterly reprehensible.

And I'm proud to have you as my editor!
