Happy birthday to #MaryQueenofScots, and to ME too!
The fact that we share a birthday made me doubly determined to write about Mary. On the off-chance that you are still looking for a good deed to do today, leave a review for one of my books online?
Thank you to all who already have!
I'm loving the KILTS (Kidlit Scotland) book covers advent calendar. Updated daily at kidlitscotland.wordpress.com/book-cover-a...

Off to meet a pal for a wee breakfast at the garden centre now. Preparing myself for the onslaught of artificial cinnamon scent and animatronic snowman harmonies...π« π

You know what? I miss Twitter - how it used to be. I miss the immediacy and the connections and the simplicity. I miss my old network of teachers, writers and librarians.
I quit the day after the US election.
If you are interested in kids' books, Scotland, history and kindness, let's connect.
Write it, Annemarie?

Another early train. Quite like Inverness's 'festive but forsaken' look. There's a story in there, right?

Sent by a teacher a couple of days after my author visit about my book 'Punch' (which features a travelling puppeteer), with permission to share. Say what you want about technology and the new generation, but kids LOVE trad puppetry!

I love Barbara Hendersonβs (@scattyscribbler.bsky.social) work. Barbara writes well researched Scottish historical fiction for kids. River Boy about the building of the Forth Rail Bridge and Black Water referencing part of Robert Burnβs life are particular classroom favourites of mine.
