I AM REBEL copies are in and they're looking absolutely amazing!!

It's FOXLIGHT paperback publication day! Yes of course I have dressed my awful whippet up in a fleece emblazoned with his enemies.

Anyway, this edition has a brand new October, October story and is less chewy than the hardback. Good or bad news, depending on your perspective.

Please share widely - the second year of the Martha Mills Young Writers’ Prize. We’re thrilled to have the wonderful Philip Pullman as a judge - Martha was such a fan of his books

It was such a massive pleasure to be #indiebookofthemonth through March. Thanks so much to all the many incredible booksellers I've met all over the country, I've had a blast!

Out today, illustrated superbly by Rachael Dean ✍🏼🎨

I've had a no-fault cancellation for the Tuesday (5th March) of World Book Week!

If you are a school in London, or within an hour (car or train) of South East London, and would like me to do some workshops etc then please get in touch via my website 📚

I, too, am Rebel, says the dog who has to be carried through puddles.

The news is out! We can't wait to publish LITTLE HOUSE by the marvelous Katya Balen in March 2024 - a shimmering novella to follow Carnegie-nominated Birdsong and recently published Nightjar, with illustrations by #RichardJohnson FBA

Thrilled to be doing another novella with Barrington Stoke 🏠 ♥️

Now let's focus on what's important - my book selling more than Phil Earle's

My dears… just an impolite reminder that there are only a few more days of OVER MY DEAD BODY, my comedy crime debut, being on the 99p Kindle deal… xxx
