I’m so excited to announce that Violet’s Tempest (illustrated by Clara Anganuzzi) is out in paperback on 4th March! It’s about overcoming your fears and finding your voice, wrapped up in the world of Shakespeare! @lantanapub.bsky.social #BookSky #KidLit #PrimaryEduSky

This from @attielime.bsky.social is poetry at its best. Poetry for me is about celebrating the fun you can have with words and this book captures that perfectly. #ukkidlit #poetry #poemsforchildren

Bit late to the party with this one but Toby and the Silver Blood Witches by @sallywrites.bsky.social is a brilliant magical middle grade with a deeply caring protagonist I absolutely loved 🥰 #KidlitUK #UKKidlit worldssmallestlibrary.wordpress.com/2025/02/26/t...

Really enjoyed this by @clairelinney.bsky.social! Perfect level of peril for the age group - exciting but not too scary. Fascinating insight into Tudor London (Child catchers! The smell of the Thames! Pig's bladder as a life jacket!) AND important representation of black history #kidlituk

"£2.99 is a bit pricy. I'll wait till it drops to 99p." Said no one ever about a latte! So why do we expect books to be that cheap? It's something I hear a lot. We all do it (me too when the Daily Deal email appears) but if a coffee is worth £2.99, surely an author is too. #books #reading #booksky📚💙

Sometimes it feels like an indie author's tasks never end. I'd really like to be able to spend some time actually writing soon 🙈😂 Anyways, today I've been designing more bookplates. I sign these and they go inside books that I can't sign directly eg. I post them to bookshops

Exciting delivery from @clairelinney.bsky.social! Looking forward to diving in. Looks like it's going to be an important read as well as an exciting one, portraying the representation of black people in Tudor London #kidlituk

I may have ordered 600 bookmarks, oops 😅 But I'm soooo pleased with how they turned out. Illustrated by Sarah Jane Docker. Two to match each book 🥰 Which character would you pick? #kidlituk

Somehow managed a virtual school visit on four hours sleep 🤯 I was asked to set a writing competition based on the content of the visit. Soooo lovely to have the privilege of getting kids excited about reading and writing

Having a MOMENT seeing all three of my books next to each other on Amazon. Makes it kind of official, you know? It's only been 16 years since this trilogy first crash-landed in my head 😅 #kidlituk #kidlituk
