Writers and their dogs!

Back in the saddle for 2026! Every Wednesday, I’m going to post a children’s book I’ve enjoyed. If you’ve read it too, or you want to share another book, join in. Unfairies, by Huw Aaron. Why do I like it? Read the alt text! #ukkidlit #kidlituk

If you're still seeking a festive read, there's some cracking Christmas mysteries on this list (and mine!)

On the Twelfth Day Of Christmas... if you're lucky, your true love will bring you these, my top twelve Christmas mysteries... @martinedwardsbooks.bsky.social @michaeljecksauthor.bsky.social @andreinacordani.bsky.social @chrismcgeorge.bsky.social #Mystery #BookSky classicmystery.blog/2025/12/17/f...

I'm going into the weekend like 2 and 7.

Yes, thank you Amazon, I AM still thinking about this book! Sometimes in the middle of the night I come up with edits then realise it's over a year too late to put them in.

My son is super into Minecraft and so my Christmas question is this - are there any Minecraft books - official or unofficial, words-only or graphic novel - that tell great stories and that we could read together?

Just... don't talk to me about supply issues. Ugh.

Doing a talk/signing at Waterstones tonight with @andreinacordani.bsky.social. I will be wearing my Christmas necklace and she is wearing her Christmas shoes. Get a ticket and come along! 🎄

Come hear us talk about festive murder, and see my sparkly Christmas shoes!

Anyone in Glasgow tomorrow want to come and see me and the amazing @andreinacordani.bsky.social discuss Christmas crime? You might get a mince pie and a light dusting of snow! (Icing sugar)...

My daughter designed some bookmarks for me and came up with one of the best taglines ever. #maybeYOUdidit

Come and see me and the brilliant @fliceverett.bsky.social talk festive murder and mayhem at @waterstones.bsky.social in Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow next Thursday. We'd love to see you there! tinyurl.com/4xhs326e

Good morning Blue Sky! I’m thrilled to reveal the cover to mine and Jo Lindley’s new picture book - CHI CHI THE PANDA which will be out 4th June 2026!!! It’s my first picture book and Jo has created the cutest and fluffiest panda! It’s historical non-fiction too so you’ll learn stuff too!

Super excited about this event at my local @WaterstonesBmth Come and join me!

I just released the cover for my first self-published thriller! It was originally published in 2020 but I got the rights back, so I'm giving it a go!

This was more fun than watching them.

It’s that time of year when I do my Christmas advert rundown. This year, to keep it snappy, I’ve done a handy haiku for each commercial: shorturl.at/sWiRg
