As we approach our 20th year anniversary in publishing. We've just had our BEST MONTH EVER for book sales. Thank you to all the bookshops and librarians for placing our books in readers' hands. Phenomenal!! @bookcornerhx.bsky.social @forumbooks.bsky.social @book-ish.bsky.social

Beside myself with excitement for the new book by @lucynichol.bsky.social , ‘Girls To The Front’, a found footage feminist revenge thriller soundtracked by Riot Grrrl bands. Loving the cover - designed by Chris Bigg of 4AD fame. Book sourced by Yorkshire’s finest bookshop, @jebookshull.bsky.social

My kids haven't read my books but watched the Leonard & Hungry Paul TV series with us last night. I was touched by their interest & support. I told them that when they're older it might seem childish to them to devote time to writing songs, drawing pictures, making stories, but to remember all this.

The Elvis World Tour tribute visited Hull Connexin on Friday 10th October and thank you so much Cody Slaughter for this great song here in @hepworthsarcade.bsky.social xxx
