I’m a huge fan of @barringtonstoke.bsky.social's titles and cannot wait to read Puloma and the Bear by @jasbinderbilan.bsky.social & Skylar White and What it was like to be an Ancient Egyptian by @writerdavidlong.bsky.social & Stefano Tambellini. Both out 13/03 for 9+ readers. 🥰

Puloma and the Bear @jasbinderbilan.bsky.social is the moving story of a girl escaping an unloving home, saving a sloth bear from terrible cruelty along the way, and finding a place for them both 💚 A gem of a book, illustrated by Skylar White @barringtonstoke.bsky.social 🐻🙏

Proofs for NAELI AND THE SECRET SONG have just landed!! One step closer to it being a real book! Expect history, adventure, a dark mystery! Themes of de-colonising the curriculum, a mirror and window into the past where I shine a light on Naeli’s story www.waterstones.com/book/naeli-a...

Had a fantastic discussion with a child last week about these three by @jasbinderbilan.bsky.social We both loved the characters and intriguing adventures.

This is a brilliant (& urgent) explainer of the current UK consultation on the use of copyrighted works in the training of generative AI - read, share, and pester your MPs using the links at the bottom of the post!

Also re-sharing this article from a couple of years ago, where I and a few other authors/illustrators inc. @robbiddulph.bsky.social, @dapsdraws.bsky.social shared our views re. AI: www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Monday morning and sharing this photo I took when I visited Sherlock & Pages in Frome at the weekend! As you can see their kids’ section is v cute - their vibe is magical, nature led stories - what do you think?

Hello everyone - I am on a the best sort of research trip today. I went to the Bodleian Library in Oxford and got to look at the ACTUAL letters that were the inspiration for NAELI AND THE SECRET SONG. There’s something magical about touching something which has found it’s way into my next book!

@ajsramblings.bsky.social 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽

Thank you for reading Nush - pleased you enjoyed it! It was my first historical mystery and I loved writing it and shining a light on a period in Victorian history which is often overlooked!

I loved it @jasbinderbilan.bsky.social & I’m currently reading this one. I love how you evoke a sense of history, place, culture & cuisine & how you write strong female characters challenging stereotypes.

@juliathumwrites.bsky.social 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽 Hi Julia !

Hope you enjoyed Asha’s adventure ! Inspired by my family roots close to the Himalaya 🦅
