Heligan’s Mud Maid looking like a scene from my book. Judge for yourself when you read it next year! Fancy stocking a copy or two in the shop The Lost Gardens of Heligan? 🤞🏻

Exciting news! My debut book is coming out earlier than planned!

Bit late to the party but, oh my goodness, this is a beautiful book! Thank you Elle McNicoll ✍🏻📚 for writing such an important story. I’m not ashamed to say I shed a few tears at the end.

It’s feeling very autumnal outside so I’m taking the chance to curl up and read this treasure of a book while the little one naps. I’ve read all of the books by Libby Page and, although I’m only three chapters in, I know I’m going to love this one too! #uplit #Reading

Anyone else got severe mum guilt over the fact that you’ve bought your child the autumn/winter uniform and now there’s a flipping heatwave and they’re going to boil?! #mumfail #newtothis

Almost every chapter has had a refresh, many sections rewritten completely and 10,000 words of new scenes added, and I still can’t decide how to end it! #amwriting #redraft #childrensauthor

This!

Redrafting the book after a really constructive manuscript critique by Provoco-Publishing before editing begins! What a view!

Storm has hit us so I’m staying inside and starting on book 2! #amwriting #WritingCommmunity #childrensauthor

Soaking up the atmosphere and inspiration, and refuelling, before getting back to writing. #amwriting #childrensauthor #WritingCommunity

We recently had a night away in Falmouth and, as a new author, I found it impossible to go into one of these lovely bookshops without imagining my book on the shelves. #exciting #debutauthor #writingcommunity #beerandbooks #independentbookshops
