Chest #2 is ready for my autumn book event! I had fun with this one as I don’t normally work with metal. More to come soon about Maisie vs the Himalayas, the 2nd book in the Maisie vs series!

I caught up with @jackjackman.bsky.social about his debut #MaisieVsAntarctica, a fantastic adventure #MG with a touch of the supernatural! This is his 6th book written, 1st published, and his advice to new authors is spot on: keep writing/learning/reading! www.wordsandpics.org/2025/03/debu...

Half an hour after the engineer got to my house, BT sent me a text to tell me the engineer is in my house and did I want to tell him how to get here? 😂

A 2nd copy of Maisie has arrived in Antarctica, this time thanks to the brilliant film director Natalie Hewit whose film ‘Endurance’ is now on Disney.

I was shocked on Saturday to get this email about my WIP: “2 comments from Renata”. Renata is one of the characters in the WIP. 😳 My characters don’t usually comment on their own story. #amwriting

On the subject of that new group who want to use AI to 'disrupt' publishing. There are already great publishers 'disrupting' the industry. 1) The presses who seek out new voices and support midlist ones, instead of blowing the marketing budget on celebs.

My map of children's independent bookshops is updated regularly. Most provide an online service and they're all run by people who can make well-informed book recommendations. Make sure you support your local one if you want to keep it. Any missing, please let me know. padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...
