And don’t forget the surprise one who suddenly inserts themselves into the story and won’t push off not matter how hard you try to get rid of them! #ukteenchat
There are similarities … she has the same wicked sense of humour you do!
Ah yes, series needs the book plot and the series plot, unless you write the whole thing before you publish but who has the time 🙈 #ukteenchat
Sadly, I’m old enough to remember Michael Bentine and his performing’flea circus.’ #ukteenchar

It sounds like the sort of thing that could spawn many, many more books in a series 😊🤞 #ukteenchat
Oh, I’m so happy! Just googled the museum and it’s still there complete with its oldest resident with his chilly toes! #ukteenchat
One thing I remember being there as a child was a flea dressed as Napoleon. I spent ages searching for it the last time I was there, but I couldn't find it. Maybe I imagined it. #ukteenchat
5, The Pitt Rivers Museum sounds like a wonderfully eerie setting. What appealed to you about setting the story in a real museum, and how did you weave your own magic into it? @katewiseman.bsky.social #ukteenchat #TheWitchBottle

OOH! good question! There's a bit near the beginning where Egg (real name Evangeline but she thinks it's too fancy for her) and a boy from her class are trapped in the museum and all kinds of weird stuff starts to happen. I tried to creepy myself out when I was writing it. #ukteenchat
4, Do you enjoy writing creepy scenes, and was there anything that gave you a shiver while you were writing The Witch Bottle? @katewiseman.bsky.social #ukteenchat #TheWitchBottle
