A lovely write up by ME Association @TheWestonMale about my BBNYA 2025 - The Indie Book Award win and news of Toby 2 ๐Ÿ’™ Ten percent of author profits from Toby and the Silver Blood Witches go to the ME Association - and Iโ€™m doing the same for the sequel!

Itโ€™d be a great shame if the target isnโ€™t reached: - itโ€™d be like ยฃ1M+ of precious funding would go unused - with the huge amount of genes there are, you need huge samples to get solid results - this type of research has led to breakthroughs in other conditions #MEcfs #PwME #CFS

What do you do when you're recovering from an unexpected over night hospital trip? You snuggle up in your brand new jumper from a wonderful new small business selling clothes for #spoonies #pwME #chronicillness. Did I mention that it's fleece-lined? ๐Ÿ˜ (Link in next tweet)

It is both #YoungCarersActionDay and #LongCovidAwarenessDay today so here's a little shout out to my book. A young carer protagonist and a mum with #postviral #chronicillness #MECFS. The more kids' hands we can get it into, the more awareness we can spread ๐Ÿ’™

I started using the Visibility app to help #MECFS pacing this week. And wow it actually works. I had a virtual school visit yesterday which consequently means I'm crashing today. It feels good though to actually see my symptoms are biologically validated!

Seeing a lot of tweets about people with #VerySevereME recently. Particularly those who are struggling to receive the vital care they need in hospital. Everyone should read and share these two AMAZING books by Jessica Taylor-Bearman. We deserve better understanding and better care.

I think when most people hear bedbound they think abt lying in bed watching favorite shows, knitting, calls w/ friends, doing crosswords, folding laundry. I don't think they imagine being unable to do any of those things & using their phone for only briefly a few times/day.

Hesitant about sharing this but today is #MEAwarenessDay. This how Iโ€™ve spent most of the past 17 years. And yet, there remains little research, & every day we fight stigma in society & the medical profession. With my little energy, Iโ€™ve written two books which feature #MECFS

I can't tell you how good it is to see this on national news. Every single one of us with M.E. has fought the stigma of this illness. So often at medical appointments we're made to feel we're to blame for such debilitating symptoms. I really hope the tide is starting to turn.

I didnโ€™t think this week could get any more exciting. But look what popped through my door! My Collins Primary author copies!! Jasper doesnโ€™t quite understand the importance of this situation & that there is a THREE-LEGGED DOG SIDEKICK based on him. Illustrated by @cowsabungus

Hello. Ambulatory wheelchair-users exist. One of the many reasons why I wrote this children's book. Hopefully at least the next generation will have some awareness and empathy.
