It’s #BackToSchool time again. #Teachers (especially years 2-4) if you read Small or Small Bites Back with your classes, I’ll gladly do free virtual Q&As with them. There are also worksheets for every chapter on my website. #Reading #PrimarySchool
I have 100% judged this book by its amazing cover. Can’t wait to read it this weekend! #Reading

Today is World Ice Cream Day, the perfect day to check out my new MG adventure set in 1899. Mason and Pa make the world’s best ice cream, but the heatwave and a sinister stranger are about to ruin everything. Can a famous wish-maker solve their problems? @everywithwords.bsky.social
I have been attempting to learn how to garden this year. This sunflower is my greatest success so far (It’s even taller than me!). #Gardening
I’ve seriously considered getting a typewriter! I didn’t think I had AI on Word and was terrified to see the Word app on my phone offering to give me a Copilot summary of my manuscript today 😩

Can’t wait to discover how Vivi’s story ends in #ViviConway and the Lost Hero by @littlehux.bsky.social. Out 22/05 for 9+ readers, huge thanks go to @knightsofbooks.bsky.social @edpr.bsky.social 😊 #KidlitUK #UKKidlit
Update now I’ve read the proof to say it’s utterly delightful. Clever concept, great characters and and a good environmental message that isn’t too heavy handed. Also, how can you not love a character called Tuftorius Snook?& 💕
I think young readers will adore Finders of Silverthorn Forest 🌳

The government doesn't understand that the power, control and money in generative AI sits with who owns the numerical data, music, voices, images and text needed to train the models.
AI models themselves will soon be cheap and plentiful. The way to make money is to create, own & control the content.
If you’re in the mood for buying children’s books (especially mine!) it’s a great time to give @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social a try.
10% of their children’s book sales in Feb go to BookTrust & Scottish Book Trust to fund early years reading support for disadvantaged and vulnerable families in UK.
PLR day is always such a delight. Thank you so much to all the wonderful #libraries that have Small and Small Bites Back on their shelves … and to everyone who borrowed them 💕📚💕

It doesn’t take a genius to see how much revenue artists and authors bring into a country, and yet here we are with a supposedly progressive government telling creatives they should let AI steal all their work 🥲
Love that! My husband and I had somehow never seen It’s a Wonderful Life before this Christmas. I’d definitely add it to the list if you’ve missed it too!
When you work in @britishlibrary.bsky.social they recommend taking a snap of your locker so you don’t forget it … meaning my phone is full of shots like these!
Thanks a million to the staff at The British Library for making it such a joyful, peaceful place to work. #WritingCommunity
Agh - forgot the Alt text on the image: proof copy of Grumpfort which reads Dare you Enter Grumpfort? And green piece of paper beside it with the PR blurb.
(And even though I only know about it because of reading the proof, I’m excited for kids - especially those who liked Small! - to discover it 😀)
