I've probably not been posting enough across all the media platforms to please the social media gods... so here's a close-up of Charlie for you all.🐈‍⬛️ He says please buy my books, thank you.📚 He'd also like some chicken.🍗 #blackcats #kidlit #cat

The Nina Peanut series by Sarah Bowie is hugely popular in school and I know several fans who will be delighted to read Major Drama Alert. Out 21/05 for middle grade readers from @scholasticuk.bsky.social #KidlitUK #UKKidlit

A reminder that my books are written without the use of AI. Surely only a human would include 13 cats in one book for no obvious reason?🤷‍♀️ But I do love an em dash.🙃 Keeping it real, one chaotic book at a time.💪🤪 #ukkidlit #humanauthored @societyofauthors.bsky.social @tinytreebooks.bsky.social
