Googling if hair contains DNA and feel the need to put it on public record that it is for a story and I haven't committed a terrible crime. Please don't hunt me down. #writinglife

Oh no. Didn't think I was having a very brain foggy day but I just found a packet of crisps in the fridge

You look great! ☺️

Thinking how when I wrote my first Toby book, I NEEDED to write a character who had M.E. Getting the representation onto the page was extremely cathartic.

But now I want to write the opposite. The stories I'm writing are getting more and more humorous as a way to escape and I'm LOVING IT.

I've submitted a rapid response to this BMJ Opinion piece - speaking from my dual experience as both researcher and 'recovered ME/CFS patient' (not a term I'd choose to employ).

I think I need to stick "This is not your fault." on a post-it note on my wall. Thank you again. We really needed something like this after the harmful Garner piece

Thank you so much for this. I just saw it on Twitter. This phrase particularly struck a nerve for me: "an additional burden of suffering of those who remain ill by framing persistent symptoms as personal failure." It's so deeply rooted, I'm hardly even aware I'm carrying this belief. (1/2)

Really recommend @sallywrites.bsky.social and her lovely MG trilogy.

Thanks so much, Anna!

Hope you had a wonderful launch!

Ps. Will leave reviews on Amazon and Goodreads xx

Loved loved loved it!! Another brilliant premise. You are up there with my all time favourite kidlit writers 🙌

This is an absolutely blooming BRILLIANT sequel from @clareharlow.bsky.social

The same wonderful characters & exquisite writing, wrapped up in a highly original thrilling plot. Set on an atmospheric island where people are enchanted to dance forever at the marsh queen's revels. LOVED IT #kidlituk

So happy you enjoyed it! 💚 Thanks again ☺️

A greeny background with people looking down from above onto a house with 4 turrets. The title is written in large letters at the top.

@sallywrites.bsky.social what a fabulous ending to the trilogy. I cried and laughed and couldn't put it down. I love the relationships Toby has with everyone he meets and how he never makes decisions selfishly. Such a fantastic series. ❤️
