New book announcement! “Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody”, with illustrations by Tim Miller, is out next year. I’ve been thinking about these sweet little weirdos for at least a decade, and it was finally time.

TomorrowTOMORROWtoooomorrrrooooowwwwTomorrow!!! Eeeeeee

Something so incredibly exciting is happening tomorrow (not connected to publishing in any way) and I am EXCITED

say what you will about force awakens and mandalorian season 1, two hugely flawed objects. but normal people were excited about them! there was watercooler buzz! you'd think that's what you want from your iconic billion-dollar franchise. oops!

“It gets better” we said 13 years ago…

Fucking WHEN?

I think my accidental meme has dual citizenship by now

one of those tweets I periodically revisit to give myself a smile

I felt like I’d forgotten how to read a book. (You don’t read submissions the way you do finished books and the way I read fic is like reading lots of short stories.)

Anyway. I burned through this *so fast*. So grateful to this book for showing me my reading isn’t broken.

Very excited to be at the
The Bookseller Children's Conference with
World Book Day UK 📚 @tolaOkogwu and Vivian ⚡️ Risu next week. We'll be talking all things reading for pleasure. How many times can I say the word COMICS in a short space of time...? #KidsConf23

I've just devoured Best Friends Forever from Lisa Williamson It's fresh, sparky and filled with humour & heart. The wonderfully layered characters are pitched perfectly in a refreshing narrative which normalises friendship & personalities shifting & changing as we grow... 1/2

“this doesn’t count cuz it’s easy for me”

I'm going on (again!) about the importance of hook, and working with it right from the start. It might not be for everyone but I think it's a brilliant way to craft commercial fiction - and it makes my job SO much easier!

Sitting on the sofa with the teen after a walk to the shops to get snacks, sniffing each other and describing how we smell and now companionably watching the West Wing and drawing.

Fuck me, but if parenting isn’t the absolute nuts at times.

Me, when Louie Stowell wrote the outline for this story: Are you sure you want to draw this many bicycles?

Louie: Hold my beer.

Me now: … *bicycles* …
