We are extremely fair weather Chanukah observers, but it felt like the right year to dust down our menorah and light it with the kids. The festival of light, symbolising hope, at a time where hope feels more important than ever.

A NEW BOOK! A delicious new side-dish to the main course that was KAY'S ANATOMY, for readers 7-12 ish. The Poo-Tastic Puzzle Book would make an ideal Xmas present if you ask me. (Although I am quite biased.) www.penguin.co.uk/books/464258...

Some people are saying A PARTICULARLY NASTY CASE is the best EVER funny thriller set in a hospital starring a rheumatologist. If you want to assess this theory, there's a half price deal on now with a certain rainforest-themed online retailer. www.amazon.co.uk/Particularly...

Brian Patten obituary One of the Liverpool poets, along with Roger McGough and Adrian Henri, who was a perceptive writer on love

Very sad to hear of the death of Brian Patten, the rockstar poet of my childhood. Gargling with Jelly was so subversive and funny. "I've never heard the Queen sneeze or seen her blow her nose, I've never seen her pick a spot or tread on someone's toes." www.theguardian.com/books/2025/s...

Incredible work from the #LibrariesForPrimaries team at The National Literacy Trust and Puffin/Penguin for making this happen: every state primary school in England will now have a library by 2029. I'm very proud to have played a tiny part in the campaign. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’ve just heard that A PARTICULARLY NASTY CASE (narrated by up-and-coming talent Andy Serkis) is Spotify editors’ pick of the month for September. Come October god knows what they’ll think of it.

Thrilled to hear that A PARTICULARLY NASTY CASE is spending a third week in the Sunday Times top ten. Thanks to everyone who's bought the book and all the brilliant bookshops who've sold it, but especially to me for writing it.

Enjoy my humour but think I spell humour with an unnecessary "u"? Great news, the US edition of A PARTICULARLY NASTY CASE is out today.

Q: What does A PARTICULARLY NASTY CASE have in common with Lord of the Rings?
A: Well, my one's obviously a much better book, but they both star the great ANDY SERKIS. Listen to a snippet of his fantastic audiobook narration here (seen with the smashing US cover)
