As today is World Parrot Day I’m bringing back to the timeline my favourite rendition of Whole Lotta Rosie by Tico (parrot) and Frank (non-parrot) of Tico and the Man (a truly great squawk n' roll band)

I’m still seeing cover reveals happening and the illustrator being left unmentioned and untagged. This shouldn’t be happening anymore In BIG BIG 2025…ESPECIALLY from authors who should definitely know better cos it’s not their first rodeo. Authors…please…DO BETTER!

Sir Elton John not holding back today in his anger at the UK government over their plans to hand British creators’ work to AI companies for free. “If you’re going to […] rob young people of their legacy and their income, it’s a criminal offence, I think.” 🧵 1/4 www.theguardian.com/music/2025/m...

Children need access to high-quality reading material in schools: books, magazines, comics, etc. So many schools have been unable to buy anything this year due to the ongoing budget crisis. And last year. And the year before. Something has to change because our pupils deserve better.

Dog pulled the old second dinner switcheroo tonight. Collies may be great at agility, Huskies may pull sleds in minus 20 degrees and Spaniels might sniff out drugs faster than a 70s rock guitarist, but no one cons a second dinner like a labrador.

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.

The programme focusing on AI is deeply depressing in my eyes, especially when publishers basically have no track record of any digital product successes. They want to drive a Ferrari when they haven't mastered driving a Mini yet. www.thebookseller.com/trade-interv...
