Super exciting mailing going out this week as soon as I channel Houdini and escape one of these finger traps… 👀

Mel Stride is no doctor, and nor is Rishi Sunak.

They have no idea how crippling severe depression or anxiety can be.

They're simply smearing the vulnerable for cheap, populist, electoral gain.

It's vicious, unforgivable stuff.

First I coordinated with the sunflowers, then I coordinated with the bees, then I spoke to some brilliant children and their brilliant grown-ups at LlandeiloLitFest. Loved it. Thank you for having me! 💛🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

So sad to see this :(

Susan Hall’s own campaign has removed her from her Party Election Broadcast, so we’ve stepped in to help.

Here she is — the Tory candidate for Mayor — Susan Hall, in her own words.

Rishi Sunak has been Prime Minister for 553 days and in that time it has been a horror show of corruption, sex scandals, tax avoidance, profiteering, lost WhatsApp messages, racism, non-doms, Green Cards, Infosys, Rwanda, private jets and industrial scale nepotism to name a few.

Teachers and school librarians - a lovely three-for-three giveaway! THREE signed/dedicated sets of The Dog Squad series, AND a handmade card with a cheering bespoke message for your readers. Please share, follow and reply below! 🐾📚

Exciting times on my drawing board! Think a little bit Scarry and Sylvanians, a lot of story and heart. And wheels, plenty of wonderful wheels…

MICHAEL NEEDS YOU! Book 2 launches next week and pre-orders REALLY help to show booksellers that there's interest in the book. So... if you'd like a book about a fabulous mind-reading sausage dog, can I persuade you to pre-pawder this weekend? 😁🐾😁 Links in the next post!
