What book are you hoping Santa will bring you this year?

I’ve really enjoyed being able to speak to so many of you on my #CircleOfDays book tour this year, and I’m grateful too for all my friends and collaborators who joined me on stage.

Stonehenge aligns with the sun during the solstices. Why? We might never know for certain, but plenty of people still travel to mark the occasion of the winter solstice at the historic monument. www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places...

I spend a long time researching before I start writing but, as much as I enjoy it, I’m an author, not a historian. Which is why I am so grateful when experts agree to consult on my books.

Discovering the library as a child was one of the greatest joys of my life and I wouldn't be where I am today without the books I read there. I would like to say thank you to librarians for everything they do, both for reading and for their communities. #SupportYourLibrary

Looking forward to tonight’s Centrist Dad Christmas Special! Punk, rock, and pop classics in support of the Crisis at Christmas Charity Appeal.

This festive season, I want to raise a glass to my international publishers for their enthusiasm in bringing #CircleOfDays to readers around the world.

One question I’m often asked: what was my most surprising discovery about Stonehenge?

Libraries have always been important to me, so celebrating 100 years of Hertfordshire Libraries at Stevenage Central Library — and discussing #CircleOfDays with my readers was a real joy.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Your questions answered: Who is the main villain in #CircleOfDays?

Stonehenge is a mystery. Who built it, how did they build it, and why did they build it? Dr Heather Sebire knows some of the answers.
