If we want to attract children like bees to the idea of writing for pleasure, we must treat our classroom as a field and fill it with the sweetest of nectar – good literature.
Thank you, @schoolreadinglist.bsky.social, for including When Skeletons Rise. 😊

In school today for a few meetings and found this on my desk. The note is from one of the parents and her daughter. Love it when you are involved in a successful book match 🩷📚
So loved thisbook by @RumbleCoral @TroikaBooks was moved to tears. Happy ones. Arlo loves the sea & has a passion for pirates. On the history trail he discovers his own mystery. A story of friendship, healing, accessible & perfectly paced. I really didn't want it to end.
See you soon. (If you’re a burglar - and I know some of you are - our house is still occupied. 😬)
It was time to escape the fast lane again. This will do nicely for a couple of weeks. If you fancy staying in a cottage in Ravenglass, this one has a huge thumbs up recommendation from us - and Gus.

Thanks to all who joined our Poetry Review reading groups online & in the Poetry Cafe this week! Masterfully steered by Julia Bird, the groups discussed poems by Major Jackson, Chloe Stopa-Hunt, J.H. Prynne, Jemma Borg, Sean Borodale, James Tate. Great to bring together passionate poetry readers!
At a time when many of my friends are retiring, I’m having a writing space built at the bottom of the garden. I’ve got a few more books in the pipeline, so better late than never! Do authors ever retire?
Always a special moment when you discover someone is reading your new book. Thank you @kaymedway.bsky.social 😊
Kay Medway@kaymedway.bsky.social · 2w agoI love reading @coralrumble.bsky.social’s new #book When Skeletons Rise. It even has a Mrs Medway character, and Arlo is a wonderful character.

Joshua Seigal - 'YAPPING AWAY' out now!@joshuaseigal.bsky.social · 8mo agoIn 2025, I've written three or four poems for grown ups that I'm really pleased with. Will try to get them published, and work up towards a collection. In the meantime, here is one which was published not too long ago, in a similar vein joshuaseigalpoet.blogspot.com/2023/11/here... #BookSky #poetry
VERY LAST POEM! From ‘Riding a Lion’ (7yrs+) This term, I’ve been sharing 2 poem videos weekly, forming 2 collections on my YouTube channel, @rumblecoral. One for KS1, and one for KS2. Have a look. Some teachers tell me they’ve been using the videos already!

I struggle with the business side of the industry, too, and the ‘in with the in crowd’ razzmatazz. I just like writing words.
Kᗩᖇᒪ ᑎOᐯᗩ 🕶@karlnova.bsky.social · 3w agoStruggling with writing right now. Maybe struggling is not a good word to use but the more you learn about the business and industry aspect of doing this, the less you might want to participate in it. #Poem #Poetry #PoetryCommunity #Writing #CreativeWriting
