Hurrah! Go Jan Dunning THE LAST THING YOU'LL HEAR out June 20 💥
Not surprised at all!

Leaf Journal, and its conference, is such a unique and valuable gathering of ideas for writers for young people. Loved it last year! 😍

Today is publication day for The Beast of Farrowfell, the second book in my MG fantasy series where magic is edible and stealable!

I wanted these books to be fun and wild. They explore what we mean by 'good' and 'bad' and they've also got a brown lead just going on adventures!

I’m so happy that Erik’s story meant something to this young person. Books change lives, right? 😍📚

Massive thanks Caroline Green for this great endorsement - I'm so grateful to Caroline's brilliant Crime Writing Course at City University... despite having to duck out of the class sometimes as I'm such a wuss... am a fan of CS Green & Cass Green books too so it's extra fab!

I got the chills when I read that! 😊I can’t say how grateful I am to UKLA and all the wonderful teachers for championing Crossing the Line and getting it into the hands of young people.

This looks and sounds utterly brilliant- from the amazing author of Mirror Me - it will not disappoint! 🤩🥳

Yay! to all the shortlisted here - but most especially to my @hotkeybooks crew - Nathanael Lessore, Ruth Bennett and Ella Whiddett Such talented and lovely people :-)

I’m so happy that CROSSING THE LINE got to be in this collection. I really hope it can make a difference to young people’s lives. ☺️

My two Mr. Rix's.

I knew nothing. They patiently held my hand throughout the creative process and everything beyond.

If Ruth Bennett or Ella Whiddett thought a joke didn't land or progress the story, I'd provide 5 or six alternate jokes and they'd choose their favourite.
