Ah snap! Hope you have a good journey back… I have to admit I closed my eyes for a bit!

Treating myself on the train back after a wonderful, whirlwind few days in London. Two publisher parties, two meetings, a book launch, countless giggles and chats with publishing friends… phew! I’m exhausted and invigorated 😅

Wow that's amazing!! Well done Cogan! 🎉

Wonderful news! Congratulations Ms Gillingham 💕

So sorry, meant to tag @sandradelaprada.bsky.social and @littletigeruk.bsky.social too! ❤️

My latest book is dedicated to a local primary school... they do so much to foster the children's love of books, and it does not go unnoticed! Schools are hugely important to authors and readers... I love to think about this particular book being used to get children dancing together in class! 💃

You are very welcome! I hope you have fun moving and grooving with it 💃☺️
