In my ongoing attempt to persuade you to pre-order A Scrap of Moss & Magick – or request your library for a copy! – I thought I’d show you some of the inspiration behind it. Some of this influenced the way I wrote the book, some of it is more vibes based… More in alt text. #ukkidlit #kidlituk

"A fantasy rooted in the Scottish landscape, which explores class and connection and much more - it is a real treat." V. grateful to Mairi Oliver of Lighthouse Books for including this wonderful review of The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance in The Bookseller's Scottish Books highlights!

A screenshot of The Bookseller published May 8 2026. The headline reads: "Books Spotlight Scotland: A Scottish summer that promises to hit the high notes." The review of Chiara Bullen's The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance reads: There is a special comfort in dark times, to getting lost in a wholesome literary quest novel with a well-built world. "Behind every hero, there's a historian..." In Bullen's accomplished debut, an ambitious young scholar is sent to research the mysteries of an adventurer's inn - only to uncover a centuries-old secret. A fantasy rooted in the Scottish landscape, which explores class and connection and much more - it is a real treat.

I had the time of my life at the Griefdogg launch. Thanks everyone who braved the rain to attend. Thanks to my mates who performed a song we wrote for the night, Michael Heyward and Robert Skinner who spoke, MC Silas Moir and my choir buddies. Now going to hide away a while and think about it all.

The Year of Reading 2026 has commenced so I’ve added my voice to the chat with a monthly blog. Recommendations, teacher ideas and resources. Probably nothing groundbreaking but hopefully there’s something useful tomsbookcorner.wordpress.com/2026/01/17/t...

The Year of Reading – January

As we have now embarked on ‘The year of Reading’ for 2026, I felt compelled to add something (hopefully of value) to the conversation each month. A mixture of recommendations, genre foc…
