Just finished this wonderful little book from @maureenjohnsonbooks.com, @jaycooper.bsky.social and @bloomsburyraven.bsky.social. It’s hilarious, dark and brilliantly illustrated! It’s been a rough start to January but this has cheered me up no end!

I had my last day on campus in Chester yesterday before I leave my job to focus on my writing. I have particularly enjoyed visiting the Christmas market this year!

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.

I’ve loved being involved with the Cheshire Prize for Literature this year and it’s lovely to see the anthology out in the world. We had a brilliant launch event last night with writers sharing some of their work from the anthology.

The good news is, I like snow. The bad news is I have a long train commute to work and I don’t finish teaching until 7pm tonight. Hope the trains can cope!
