Today is St Melangell’s Day, patron saint of hares. The 6th century Welsh saint saved a hare from hunting hounds and was granted land for sanctuary. Here are some of my hare themed stained glass panels available as prints. 💚🌿

An island of strangers? Just imagine British children's books without the work of migrants & their children – all of these & more! www.sfsaid.com/2017/02/one-...

What I failed to mention is that this auction is in time for your name to not only be a character in my next book, but that MY NEXT BOOK IS THE CHAOS WALKING SEQUEL! So, yeah, bid, raise some money for trans causes, and I'll probably kill you horribly on paper! It's what you would have wanted.

Having read the article in @theguardian.com today talking about increased book censorship I recommend we all read this book by @alangratz.bsky.social to our year 6. It’s a great book about rebellion. The banned books mentioned became must reads in our Year 6 class. Best way to get kids reading ;-)

Gonna take this opportunity to say that I can personally deliver no script for as little as 7 million, and I know some other writers who can do it for as little as five million.

I was horrified to find EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY BOOKS had been plundered without my consent by the Meta AI book thieves. It's a violation & is wrong in every way. Please support us by signing this @societyofauthors.bsky.social petition and get them to #DoTheWriteThing! www.change.org/p/protect-au...

Happy International Women's Day! Buy books by women and/or boost the women authors we know. If you're low on funds: * Book reviews * Rave about them on social media * Ask your local library to order their books * Go over to their home & clean it so they have no excuses for not writing 🧵

Being disabled isn’t some abstract concept. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” their way out of. It’s something that can happen to anyone at any time. Once it happens to you, you will understand how little support exists. Help us & your future self will thank you.
