It’s coming. But not until the nights draw in and you draw the curtains to hunker down in front of the fire with a good book, this book. In book 1, Elinor had a phone call she had to answer; now she gets a delivery she has to open.

A year ago my first book On Hold was published. Happy to report that the sequel is being published too, and should be out in 2027. This is just my mock up for the designer. Please keep buying On Hold. You need to read the first one to give you the background! #bookcommunity

@penahay.bsky.social can’t believe I am going to miss the Forest of the Imagination / Bath Spa event on the 13th June. I’m on holiday. Gutted. Say hi to Bob & Roberta for me. X
Every child and young person should have access to arts and culture, no matter what their background or circumstance. Arts education is a social justice issue.

I bear no grudge on The Magic Faraway Tree adaptation for film. Change the story, make it colour blind. All perfectly fine by me. BUT it’s MOONFACE not MOONHAIR 🤦🏻♀️

@ianindentdesign.bsky.social i cannot suss out how to send you a DM as it wont let me, but you do have my email. So if you still want a copy of The People’s History of Leeds, just send me your address and I’ll pop one in the post for you.
Very pleased with the reviews of my book and the responses so far. It’s getting easier to accept everyone’s feedback too. It belongs out there. I hope that if you read it, you’ll love the characters and roll with the storyline - it’s supernatural - but might just be true…..
The University has placed in the top 100 universities in the world for the 8th year in a row, moving up to 13th position among the 90 UK institutions on the list 🙌 The QS World University Rankings were released today, and Leeds is ranked 86th in the world.
Not sure about this Bluesky. I havent got the energy to wade through the streams of consciousness to find the pools of likeminded souls.
Thank you to everyone who visited us for our Open Days on Friday and Saturday! We hope you enjoyed getting a feel for life at Leeds. If you weren’t able to make it, don't worry, we have two more Open Days coming up on Saturday 4 and Saturday 18 October. Register your interest now👇 bit.ly/4kWQuex
My little book is doing ok. It’s just a lighthearted tale that reads as a screenplay for the tv drama that will never happen - but I hope it plays very visually in people’s imaginations. Everyone should write a book. Go on - do it - you know you want to
Hey! Human! Stop hiring humans. No more nepo babies either 🤦🏻♀️

If distance means that I can't physically get into schools, I do online sessions to introduce kids to the techniques I use, and to hopefully inspire them. Yesterday, Nichola's school 'Willow Primary' in Doncaster, joined me for some fish-making. www.darrellwakelam.com #edusky
The pop-up mini Leeds Goth exhibition is now open at the Leeds Tattoo Expo Monster Art Fair at @firstdirectarena.bsky.social. I’ll be here all weekend to chat about #Leeds, the birthplace of #goth.
