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 😊

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…

Lovely to see Fyneshade on the table at Harpenden Books!
And look @essiefox.bsky.social - it’s with The Fascination in some mighty fine company! 🤩
It’s Red Planet Day today, an annual celebration of the exploration of Mars. Google has loads more interesting facts, but you won’t find the quirky, mind-cracking information about our neighbouring planet, which can only be discovered at the Star Quest Academy!!! Further details soon.

The Rights Of The Reader by Daniel Pennac, illustrated by Quentin Blake. 1. The right not to read. 2. The right to skip. 3. The right not to finish a book. 4. The right to read it again. 5. The right to read anything. 6. The right to mistake a book for real life. 7. The right to read anywhere. 8. The right to dip in. 9. The right to read out loud. 10. The right to be quiet.
If you want kids to love reading - LET THEM READ THINGS THEY LOVE! The books we love when we're young are the ones that make us readers, and choice is a right that every reader should have. Never take it away from them! #literacy #reading #kidlit #books
