Great blog. So very true too ❤️
So after a five year break I’m back blogging again. Anyone else avoid this question when the answer isn’t easy?

That'll be me doing the interviewing - and I'm late to the party because I have only just read this brilliant book.
Absolutely loved it, and massively looking forward to chatting to @hapfairy.bsky.social about how it came to be.

I have been staring at the letterbox for the last few days and here’s why!
My proof copy of my new book #TheWoodWhereMagicGrows has just arrived!
I am SO excited about this new series & hope that readers will love spending time with the Treetoppers.
Delighted to be teaching 'Writing YA' again online for Faber Academy @faberacademy.bsky.social starting in March.
From a previous student:
'Really supportive tutor. She provided excellent insights and it felt like she knew what she was talking about.'

Good luck little book, and to all the shortlisted stories 🍀 They look crackerjack 📚🙌

Morning, Lu 🙂❤️
⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.
If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.

Rocketship are such a wonderful bookshop, with a brilliant website full of great kids books. Please support them.
A flutter sounds good to me 🦋🤗Lovely to see you here, Lu 😘
Oooh I seem to have added your website to that … what do we call it here? Can’t call it a tweet. Maybe a cloud? Or ray of sunshine? 😄
Hello Blue Sky!! Giving this platform a go. Nice to meet you 🤗
I’m into stories, writing, kids books, graphic novels, adventures, and my bouncy border collie, Spock.
Author of 2 books and have a 3rd in the works. Look forward to chatting with you!❤️💛💜💚❤️
