We did it! We launched Pia’s Pet Club and it was glorious! We even had Pancho the dog there who rightfully and wonderfully stole the show. Thank you to everyone who came, it was so special. 💛

Anisha number 8 is well under way! The cover for this is possibly my favourite of them all. Not too long to wait as it’s out this November! 🤩🔎🎄

And the big edit is done. Winging its way back to my editor for now.
Another small edit to tackle for a different book but that’s tomorrow’s problem. Today, pizza! 🍕

Developing some new events to go with Pia’s Pet Club. Taking bookings now via the contact form on my website. Visiting schools is one of the most amazing and rewarding parts of my job. I can’t wait to take Pia on the road! See you all soon!

I’ve been the only or one of just a few brown people in almost every publishing related event/meeting/gathering I’ve been to in the last five years. I thought things were improving, that was me being naive. It’s really exhausting having these same conversations over and over.
