Nothing makes a fabulous stocking stuffer like a highly-illustrated Adventuremice book... or a big ribbon around the whole series!

My co-author & I recently launched book 7; it's backed up with lots of fun, free activities at Adventuremice.com!

Bath Kids Lit Fest managed to get early copies of our new book, ‘Adventuremice: Mousehole to the Centre of the Earth’!

I’ve only had my one author copy and it’s SO NICE to see a bunch of them all together ☺️

You like trains? You like Stargate? How about a galactic civilization connected by sentient trains running on railways that travel through Stargates?

Seriously, go read Railhead. It's great.
Celebrating a decade of trainsong, Hive Monks, pocket universes hidden in refreshment trolleys, etc. RAILHEAD is ten years old.

Oh my god. I know I talk about it every 10 seconds, but Donut Squad. Those pages at the end made my hands itch for a pencil.

@sarahmcintyre.bsky.social has sooooooo many drawing resources on her website tied to all her and her and @philipreeve.bsky.social's books, it's immense fun.

For #TolkienTuesday/#TolkienTrewsday, as a follow up to my piece from last week, here’s

“The Gardens of the Merking's palace”, by J.R.R. Tolkien, for his children’s story Roverandom.

At least this story is finished. Even getting three books is a small miracle nowadays. (And I can keep writing things in that world for my own amusement…)
