A tiny red squirrel sits in a tree, which is bare apart from a few red berries.Gazing directly at the camera, the squirrel holds a berry and nibbles on it.

Ridiculous pair of heart-bummed cuties. My home and my clothing will continue to be a hairy mess in 2025. #cats

Thanks, Grace! It's going to take me a while to get up to speed. I've been shying away from social media as they've all gone so ad-centric, I never see the content I'm there for. I hear this place is different... fingers crossed!

Author Michelle Robinson -- a middle aged woman with mid length blonde hair -- smiles and holds up her picture boo, Mummy's Promise. Its front cover features a cute illustration of mother and child sabre-toothed tigers, playfully rolling in a prehistoric meadow with a mountain range as a backdrop.

I love this time of year because I get to wear cosy sweaters in an attempt to not actually freeze solid at my desk. πŸ₯Ά Here's something even warmer and cosier than my rainbow sherpa: 'MUMMY'S PROMISE' is publishing early Feb with Andersen Press, featuring adorable art by Paddy Donnelly. πŸ₯°

Finding everyone is going to take me a while, isn't it? I'll put the kettle on and settle in.
