I am delighted to announce that we will be scoring a Sunday Times Bestseller with our first book ‘The Tremolo Diaries’ by Justin Currie

My undying gratitude to everyone who has helped us achieve this, but my biggest thanks to Justin for such a beautiful, irascible, poetic, profane masterpiece x

Perfect! We had a similar rule and as much freedom as we could safely allow (for the hamster!). And we got a rescue hamster because I am NO FUN! X

And they are offered as a starter pet for small children who are super enthusiastic but not necessarily equipped for that level of complexity.

OMG! Yes! Poor hamsters, victims of their own cuteness and really mainly suited to insomniacs. X

WOW!!! MONTY!!!! I knew it sounded like a brilliant comic, and it IS! Your love of books and stories and illustrating shines out of ‘The Lonely Parrot’ - keep it up! X

Ruth Parker @ruthparker.bsky.social · Aug 1

@sophyhenn.bsky.social we had an amazing time with you at the incredible Steyning Bookshop. Here’s a glimpse of Monty’s comic ‘The Lonely Parrot’. He’s autistic and severely dyslexic, but LOVES books!

This was a fun day with @sophyhenn.bsky.social Nick Sharratt and Joseph Elliott as part of Children’s BookFest. They’re an amazing charity raising money to buy local school children books.

WHERE HAS SHE BEEN?!?! Amazing.

Sophy Henn @sophyhenn.bsky.social · Jun 28

One of my FAVOURITE things about being a woman who makes children’s books is the assumption it is a hobby - so many examples but having told someone at dinner it was my JOB I was then asked “oh, do you make any money from it?” 🤬🤪🤷🏻‍♀️

If you are considering going to see Stereophonic I URGE you to use this service…

Pete Selby @peteselby.bsky.social · Jun 28

I don’t like to publicly amplify the negative on here so I will just say this. Saw the record breaking ‘Stereophonic’ play last night at the Duke of York. It has garnered frothingly critical praise across the board. I would be happy to offer a public service critical corrective via DM if required

Sophy Henn @sophyhenn.bsky.social · Jun 18

⭐️COOOEEEE⭐️

Get your mitts on one of these VERY limited Shroomer Keyrings (can confirm the are AWESOME!) at one of these brilliant #indiebookshops when you get your copy of Happy Hills Mr Big Fluff Rules!!!…
