Loving this!

Lovely to see my old friend 'Ollie' Whelch's name on this. Will be thinking of him tonight.

This is happening Monday! Still some tickets left and I’d love to see you there 👍☺️

Happy World Book Day.

🚨REVEALED: For weeks we've captivated audiences with this trailer for a new drama about the harsh realities of temporary housing.

Here's the twist: this isn't drama, it’s real life.

At least 34 children have died in temporary accommodation since 2019.

🚨NORTHERN PUBLISHER JOB KLAXON🚨. Two new job roles available with the brilliant uclan publishing team.

Just had the strange (but aurally satisfying) experience of showing my 90yr old mum my new hearing aids. Not quite as joyous as dancing round the lounge for her in my first pair of football boots.

Publishing jobs in the north!! uclan publishing is indeed small, mighty and super-creative - what a place to work! Get your applications in!

Visited one of my favourite bookshops today Mr B's Emporium - they stock my books too!

powerful

Happy Valentine's Day!
