Well this is v exciting to see! Thanks Emma. Fingers, toes and kidneys crossed that the beastly child didn’t jump out of the book and chase you out of the shop.

Cover illustrated by devilishly talented Isabelle Follath.

So chuffed to still see some Wolf Twins on tables! Thank you Waterstones Crouch End ❤️ In great company here with Jack Meggitt-Phillips, Sarah Ann Juckes and Judith Eagle 📚

It’s possible I need to start looking down at my feet before I sprint out of the house.

If it weren’t for the books by a certain Mr Snicket AKA @authordanielhandlet, I would never have taken up reading, let alone writing.

Such a bewilderingly brilliant moment to be interviewing him in the epic Alexandra Palace for North London Book Fest. A DELIGHTFUL man both on stage and off.

A palace filled with 800 children, 5 superstar authors (& 1 there in spirit), and a peculiar man hosting the event with his parrot.

Alexandra Palace Children's Book Award is the BEST author day of the year! Thanks everyone who made it possible and congrats to winners Simon James Green and Dr Nazneen Ahmed Pathak.

A few tickets remain for my talk with Jack Meggitt-Phillips tomorrow (3/23) at Alexandra Palace.

For North London Book Fest, we'll discuss POISON FOR BREAKFAST, a certain unfortunate series, and my upcoming book AND THEN? AND THEN? WHAT ELSE?

Join us! Doors at 15:30.

Snot-Mammoths, rap-battling sloths, and a personal fave - FLYING TOASTIES.

Race to Imagination Island is a brilliantly bonkers, ferociously fun, action-packed dive into the mind of Mel Taylor-Bessent, illustrated by Alessandro D'urso .

I have some terrifically terrible news.

This Sat I will be asking Daniel Handler a series of unfortunate questions at Alexandra Palace (@NLBookFest), and then on Sun at OxfordLitFest.

Oxford has sold out. Final lethal tix for Alexandra Palace here; bit.ly/49nJ126

I am happier than the beast in a sanctuary of rare, juicy parrots, because Battle of the Beast from me, Isabelle Follath, and translator extraordinaire Elidir Jones is now out in Welsh.

Lickable copies available in shops and here; siopypentan.co.uk/products/y-bwy…

Hugest of congrats to LJ Ireton (LJ Ireton Ⓥ) for Lessons from the Sky - her debut poetry collection celebrating the wild, and the connection between nature and the creation of ideas. It was magical to hear readings from the collection at last night’s frolic.

A new library is always something to celebrate!

This Saturday, the beast, the Bethany and I will be running a FREE creative writing workshop at the recently opened Una Mason Library in Southwark, London.

Bring along your child-sized snacks of all ages! Farshore

This is just the most wonderful job in the world, isn’t it?

Beastliest of thanks to EVERYONE who has invited me to celebrate World Book Week with them. Here are some of my favourite Bethany’s and PARROTS - bringing to life Isabelle Follath’s delicious illustrations.

Happy publication week to Nicola Baker 💙 and Rachael Dean ✍🏼🎨 for Finding Hope!

Thoroughly lovely to frolic at the launch, and I can’t wait to tuck into this tale of hope, wellies and rediscovery.

I Am Wolf is science fiction at its very best. A jaw dropping, pulse racing thriller that had me howling with glee.

A fantastic idea, expertly realised by Alastair Chisholm. Answer the call and sink your teeth into your new obsession this May.

Happy book birthday to the S.Tinky, hilarious and faintly wizard-like Jenny.

If you wish to chuckle maniacally for several hours, then get a little of this horrid fairy in your life.

I’m pretty sure I’ve had poison for breakfast, died horribly, and woken up in heaven.

I am Very Flipping Delighted to be hosting an event in Alexandra Palace with Lemony Snicket this March.

Delicious, most probably non-lethal tix here; bit.ly/49nJ126

Golly gherkins this is a HOOT! Betty Steady and the Toad Witch is fiercer than an angry ogre and funnier than a tap-dancing chicken.

Tip of the toppiest hat to Nicky Smith-Dale 🍄 and illustrator Sarah Horne. Prepare to be tickled 25th April.

Phil Phil Hickes Author has made my spine distinctly chilly.

Fierce friendships, devious doubles, and a secret that’s literally scratching its way out of the walls - Shadowhall Academy is a spooktacular treat that’s out NOW. Suitably epic cover from Keith Robinson as well.

Paper Dragons: Fight for the Hidden Realm is a soaring triumph of storytelling!

Siobhan McDermott (麥舒雲)’s debut features immaculate world building, culminating in a BRILLIANT finale.

Fly to your nearest bookshop on Thursday to pick up the first chapter in Zhi Ging’s story.

Twice Upon a Time is spell-bindingly good!

A timeless, time-twisting triumph of mystery, magic, and mischief. The Morrow Sisters control time, but can they solve a decades’ old crime?

Michelle Harrison has done it again. I wish I could rewind time to read it afresh. Out April 11.
