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 ☺️

Breakfast in the treehouse!
Artwork from my upcoming 7th Adventuremice book with @philipreeve.bsky.social & @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social

The original ink & watercolour paintings from the book will go on sale on the evening of launch day, UK 9pm, Thurs 9 Oct…

If you're interested, mark your diary!

Painting of the Adventuremice - and a few other mystery characters - having a sunny breakfast along the branch of a tree. The book's title mentions the 'centre of the earth', so why is there sunlight, and a tree...?

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.

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.

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…)

My new painting exhibition - Brave New Worlds: A Century of Science Fiction Cinema - opens a week today. If you're in the area, do pop along. And please share with interested (and interesting) friends. Today's poster is the first to feature an actor I've worked with: the glorious David Warner.

[email protected] and I love this show, which is why there’s a character called Scoot McHairy in ‘Mice, Camera, Action!’.
