SNAILS OF THE UNEXPECTED is out today! Expect shapeshifting snails, an evil Slime Minister, funny stuff and characters to care about (even when they're a crisp packet or a pot plant). 😁🐌😁🐌

Big shoutout to Fergus and Shelby's illustrator, Brenda Figueroa and everyone at @fireflypress.bsky.social 🤩🤩🤩

The story of snails Fergus and Shelby, who can magically transform into anything they want, #SnailsOfTheUnexpected by @cowfishdreams.bsky.social, illustrated by Brenda Figueroa, sounds like a whole heap of fun. Out 05/04, huge thanks to @fireflypress.bsky.social for this fabulous proof. 🐌 #KidlitUK

The book with a Firefly Press-branded postcard and 2 snail-themed sweets. The book’s cover shows 2 cartoon snails surrounded by jagged auras and stars standing on some grass with wild flowers growing in it. Their shadows are those of 2 children instead of snails.

I'm currently taking bookings for author visits in schools or wherever there are large groups of children aged 6/7+! My books are packed with humour and heart, and the same is true of my events ☺️ More details here on what's included: terriechilvers.com/schoolvisits DM me if you're keen!

Happy bookselling!

Have you seen any of The Mole? It lets you have the experience the other way around - I actually prefer it The Traitors way as you don't spend every moment second guessing and trying to work it out 🤪

First there was a mind-reading sausage dog, and then there were... shapeshifting snails! Look out for SNAILS OF THE UNEXPECTED in April - written by me, illustrated by Brenda Figueroa, with cover design by @beckamoor.bsky.social 🐌⚡🐌⚡🐌

Worksop Library and Mansfield Library for Feb half term. Would love to do some school stuff as well though - will try and get some bookings 🤩

Terrie Chilvers @cowfishdreams.bsky.social · Dec 3

I'm in Worksop next year for an event! And unless my sense of scale is off, that's quite close to you, right? Will try and come say hi! 😄

It's the Illustrators' Fair at Granary Square, Kings Cross on Sat 7th and I'll be selling books, cards, tea towels and tote bags. It's always a lovely, buzzy, friendly, chatty occasion and a chance to buy creative Xmas presents direct from makers. Hope to see some of you there! #IllustratorsFair
