Proofs for NAELI AND THE SECRET SONG have just landed!! One step closer to it being a real book! Expect history, adventure, a dark mystery! Themes of de-colonising the curriculum, a mirror and window into the past where I shine a light on Naeli’s story www.waterstones.com/book/naeli-a...

Same!!!

Doing a tour of Glasgow at the moment - such a great city!! Especially enjoyed catching up with the super talented @maisiechanwrites.bsky.social #kidlit

I’ve been busy with my second newsletter MARCH edition!! And if you want to get inside the mind of this children’s author I can promise lots of child/ teacher/ librarian friendly content as well as the chance to win a signed hot off the press copy of PULOMA AND THE BEAR!! www.jasbinderbilan.co.uk

Thank you so much for reading these with your children! I like that they enjoyed the intriguing adventures! Let me know if you’d like postcards for your class of my latest Barrington Stoke Puloma and the Bear!!

Had a fantastic discussion with a child last week about these three by @jasbinderbilan.bsky.social We both loved the characters and intriguing adventures.

This looks ANIMALAMAZING! (say that with your teeth in the wrong way). *Yes, this is the second time I posted this as brain is wonky

Browsing books @mrbsemporium.bsky.social today - lovely to see ANYA’S QUEST hanging out on the shelves! Thank you ♥️

This is a brilliant (& urgent) explainer of the current UK consultation on the use of copyrighted works in the training of generative AI - read, share, and pester your MPs using the links at the bottom of the post!

Monday morning and sharing this photo I took when I visited Sherlock & Pages in Frome at the weekend! As you can see their kids’ section is v cute - their vibe is magical, nature led stories - what do you think?

Hello everyone - I am on a the best sort of research trip today. I went to the Bodleian Library in Oxford and got to look at the ACTUAL letters that were the inspiration for NAELI AND THE SECRET SONG. There’s something magical about touching something which has found it’s way into my next book!

Thank you for reading Nush - pleased you enjoyed it! It was my first historical mystery and I loved writing it and shining a light on a period in Victorian history which is often overlooked!
