In today’s life-changing news, I have just signed for representation with the wonderful @kaitlynleann17.bsky.social at Bradford Literary Agency. I have long loved the types of books Kaitlyn helps put in the hands of children and I can’t wait to see where this fairy tale adventure takes us.

The only positive you can take out of the current state of the world, is the opportunity to laugh at the daily stupidity we are confronted with. Thank you for today’s laugh.

Congratulations Lillie. I’m one of the finalists too. Ebony just congratulated me, which was so lovely. I guess I’ll speak to you on the Facebook group.
