It may be shaping up to be one of the hottest days of the year, but who isn’t dreaming of a Frosty Fiesta?! The new Hotel Flamingo is just a few months away, and I can’t wait to share it with the world #frostyfiesta #hotelflamingobook

A very exciting day! A trip to London to talk about my new series Captain Sunshine, publishing in 2026, and news of it in the Bookseller! ❤️

Man in the pub just ordered two soups and there wasn’t even a snigger 🤷

It’s like @jamiesmart.bsky.social has turned into big brother. He’s everywhere I look at London Book Fair 🙈

Beavers released into the wild in Britain! About time, too www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Off on an adventure to the Isle of White! Overseas! 😆@iwstoryfestival doing a Hotel Flamingo event at the Anthony Minghella theatre, Quay Arts in Newport tomorrow. Starts at 3.30pm, if anyone fancies a bit of Disco Flamingo! #hotelflamingo

Mr Prickles, the very tall cactus, and I love a book with strong cactus characters, and #squirrelandduck by the dashing @tompercivalbooks.bsky.social is no different. It’s really fun, great stuff, Tom! ❤️

Why can’t our government tell these companies that if they want to use our work they have to ask us first and pay for it? Protect your workforce UK Government.

Here's a little limited edition oddity I made this year: odd short story by me, strange art by #AlexisDeacon. Rumi's Dream is a weird poetic tale of what survives, and what happens when you step on the cracks. Only available here: www.afharroldkids.com/rumis-dream

"Picture books are often quite undervalued, and sometimes seen as a stepping stone to 'proper reading'. But picture books can be transgressive and beautiful and complex." - @lawrencepatrice.bsky.social. ALL OF THIS! www.booktrust.org.uk/news-and-fea...

How amazing is this!?! 😍
