Ha, that's a scary thought!

Looking for a stocking filler for a child that loves space stories?

Thanks. I agree. It's closed now, though, but apparently got an amazing response. I wish you well with your book :)

A very exciting surprise this Sunday morning - my poem Hanging Out With Animals was read out by Rebecca Leek on her @suffolksound.bsky.social radio show! And following two acclaimed poets too. The poem features on @northernjim.bsky.social's Dirigible Balloon: dirigibleballoon.org/poem/Hanging...

Family activities and events for primary school children | Primary Times

The Primary Times competition to win a copy of Star Quest Academy is now open. Both the magazine and the competition are free. Good luck! Let me know if you win 🙂

A magazine in the USA has chosen Star Quest Academy as its Spotlight Book this week. They've altered the blurb to suit an American audience. It's more in your face than mine, but I rather like it. They sent the publisher this image.

My book launched today. A local bookshop held a signing, and it was mayhem, hundreds of excited children desperate for a signed copy of their favourite book. Then J.K. Rowling left, and I managed to get in. Had the place to myself 😊

Not long now!

The Book Guild has just informed me that not one but three children’s magazines will feature the Star Quest Academy, including competitions to win copies, which is exciting. They are ‘Whizz pop bang’ ‘Hoopla’ and the ‘Primary times’. I may enter!

Bookseller coverage of the Curae prize for writer-carers which Anna started

In 2022 I launched a new literary prize for writer-carers (UK & ROI), the #Curae award. A wealth of wonderful prizes from across industry, publication and many entries. The second prize opened 1/02/25 and so far we have far fewer entries. There are around 7million unpaid carers: industry PLEASE help

Very happy co-author with a box of books

Exciting book post arrived at 7am. (That was less exciting if I’m being perfectly honest.)
Anyway, once I’d swapped my pyjamas for clothes I opened the box to find…
