Book news! Delighted to share the cover of my next book. Out 10/02/26 @renardpress.com
Read about it here: renardpress.com/books/all-th... It’s a short novel, creeping, unsettling and a book of taboo and that’s for sure. 📚💙

A year ago I got a DPhil in Creative Writing and I share it periodically. It’s by published works so some of my already published output was part of assessment. It has new things to say about magical realism and trauma- from one who knows as scholar AND survivor.

Chats this week about AI. It’s come to my notice that a lot of folk don’t recognise an em dash in text so think it’s AI. In other em dash-related news, I use WAY too many of the critters and am now under orders to squish them before going out on submission!

I was always told I was shy. No one ever told me I was any good at talking to people. I had a tough background where I was diminished & made to feel worthless: it’s taken decades to emerge. I swallowed a lot of information. I love meeting people! I’m awkward but I’m an extrovert. Be who you are ❤️

This was a difficult publishing year - things went wrong, a publisher went under, rights didn’t sell, my agent left that side of the business, and it felt miserable. But things change. Now you have THREE books from me in 2026 & with @liverpool-lit.bsky.social we’re about to go on submission!

Not been a great week so far but some good news this morning from my Australian publisher - there will be Chinese and Taiwanese editions of "How to Find a Rainbow". Wonderful that even a few years after publication (written during Covid for my daughters) it is finding new audiences.

Superb result of lots of hard conservation work by my mate Tim Pankhurst at Plantlife, plus many others. For such a rare orchid to become *less threatened* is nothing short of phenomenal. Bravo to everyone involved! @plantlifeuk.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
