@hsnorup.bsky.social Look what I saw today at Waterstones Piccadilly! (I found a signed copy of The Changeling Child at Foyles.)

Just finished The Changeling Child by @hsnorup.bsky.social - the second outing for Saga and Alfred, to Faerie. It's a beautiful sequel. The attention to detail is a delight, with key themes of friendship, nature, and preservation at the fore. BIG family revelations, too! A fab read. 📚👍

Did I mention that I love my bicycle? And mountain views? And autumn colours?

Witches are scary. Vampires are a fright. Beware of both this Hallowe’en night. 🖤🧛🎃🧙‍♀️🖤 Alfred, Saga and I have had fun making pumpkins and a jack-o’-lantern out of Fimo clay. Hope you have a fa-booo-lous All Hallows’ Eve! 👻 #thechangelingchild #halloweenbooks @pushkinchildrens.bsky.social

There are over 18,000 types of lichen in existence. My personal favourite is ‘village bench lichen’, which devotes its entire existence selflessly to gradually making communal public seating more furry and comfortable.

I visited Linda’s Book Bag for a cosy chat about The Changeling Child. Mr Tumbleweed came along so obviously there were all sorts of cakes… 💚🧚💙 Thank you so much for having me, @lindasbookbag.bsky.social 🧚 @pushkinchildrens.bsky.social #ukkidlit

Last night, we celebrated the publication of The Changeling Child with a picnic (for two) by the river Rhine. Reading in the water, swimming, watching the river flow and all the passing swimmers, ducks and dogs(!), while we toasted the book in Hugo spritz we’d brought in a thermos. It was PERFECT!

THE CHANGELING CHILD is out now! 💚🧚💙 Huge thanks to the team at @pushkinchildrens.bsky.social and all the readers, book bloggers, booksellers, teachers, librarians and other authors for their kind words about my books and enthusiasm for fearsome faeries. #thechangelingchild #OutNow #ukkidlit
