World Book Day 2019 #worldbookday
I love World Book Day (even if I’m not doing a school visit), in the same way that I love comicons and the like. I love to see the visible signs of how the written word has influenced people. It’s amazing to see people go to the time and trouble of buying or making a […]
Better Than a Shot of Espresso
I haven’t really done much in the way of workshops and school visits in the last year. I’ve been focusing on my freelance business and finishing up my MA in Creative Fiction.

Yor-Kon 2017
We’ve been going to York Unleashed since it started in 2014, but it was special last year. It was special because I’d just signed the contract to get Alfie Slider vs the Shape Shifter published and I realised that I could attend next year (now this year!) as a trader. Even a year out I […]
