While Apple TV is briefly free this weekend... my first short film is on there: Island Queen tv.apple.com/gb/movie/isl...

With every passing day I better understand the mothers in Victorian novels who stay in their bedrooms with the curtains closed and complain vaguely about their “nerves.”

Asking as a children's author and not a weirdo... does anyone know if 12 year old girls are wearing body spray and if so, what's their poison? Or are they far more sophisticated and it's Eau de Toilette all the way...

I'm reading a book that several close friends said reminded them of me and the protagonist is an adorkable, capricious tit. This happens more often than I care to admit and still I DO NOT take the feedback.

DOG HOUSE is the WINNER of the Best Comedy Short Film category at the UK Film Awards! So proud of everyone who helped us to make this strange, sad, ridiculous, daft little film. Here's to making good funny stuff! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBwF...
