Thank you @lib4sch.bsky.social! "A chilling time-slip revenge story full of atmosphere that kept us on the edge of our seats! Truly a fitting follow-up to Randall-Jones’ debut title ‘The Witchstone Ghosts’."

A publishing shout out - I'm running a panel for @write-mentor.bsky.social WOWCON about navigating the publishing industry as a neurodivergent person and I'd love to hear from ND-ers on the other side of the table; namely agents/publishers/etc. Please DM if you're interested!

Not just a ghost story, but a ghost story with a steam train, The Scream of the Whistle by @erandalljones.bsky.social is out now and probably best read with the light on 👻 @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social #KidlitUK #UKKidlit worldssmallestlibrary.wordpress.com/2025/07/31/t...

Mr Blue Sky has returned, so it's back in the garden for a morning read. I'm back on the middle-grade "train" today, with "The Scream Of The Whistle" by @erandalljones.bsky.social The village of Melbridge is quite intriguing...

Very excited to receive a copy of The Scream of the Whistle by @erandalljones.bsky.social Ghosts AND steam trains - what’s not to like? Out now for 9+ readers, huge thanks go to @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social 👻 #KidlitUK #UKKidlit

Just loving #ScreamoftheWhistle by @erandalljones.bsky.social It’s mine and the 8yos bedtime book of choice at the moment and we’re have very different theories about what’s going on! #ReadingWithKids #ParentingLife #ReadAloud #BooksForKids #KidsWhoRead #BedtimeStories #SupportAuthors

Genuine q - if you're a children's/YA author, would you do a library/school event without payment but with bookselling/signing through local indie? Comments & thoughts v helpful!

Mightily chuffed about this: www.telegraph.co.uk/books/childr... @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social

Last night my daughter asked why so many publishing houses are named after birds and animals. Anyone care to offer an explanation?

The Scream of the Whistle is out next month with @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social ! Pre-order a signed, dedicated copy from @mrbsemporium.bsky.social mrbsemporium.com/shop/books/t.... I'm v proud of this spooky, ghostly tale, inspired by The Signalman and the abandoned railway lines I grew up around.

My book is here, and she's a beauty. Thanks so much @micaelaalcaino.bsky.social and @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social - The Scream of the Whistle, out 5th June.

#writing and #publishing communities - I'm looking for (ideally) remote, flexible work. Specialities include running events, creative writing workshops and interviewing a bunch of industry people. LOVE running workshops with young people too - please share and keep me in mind...

This is further proof that AI companies are free-riding on the work of authors, which makes effective legal regulation that gives creators proper transparency and control all the more urgent. We're working with our partners in the creative sector to urgently make this case to the Government.

Set text of The Scream of the Whistle has arrived.... combing for typos and squealing at the beautiful chapter headings the @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social team have created.

FREE @write-mentor.bsky.social MG masterclass 11am TODAY with the amazing @ashleythorpe.bsky.social. Come join us! This is a rare opportunity to partake in a WriteMentor masterclass for free, as it's usually only for paid hub members. Register now to attend: write-mentor.com/register/

I'm about to finish my copyedits. Here are some things I've spotted my characters doing a lot: - smiling faintly - getting dizzy with relief - hissing - almost doing things (Almost leapt, almost ran) - narrowing their eyes You?

What an absolute honour - thank you @phoenixbookaward.bsky.social !

Can we just... please?!! An AuDHDer? An MG? Rashmi flaming Sirdeshpande‬ ???? Wah!!

Call HMRC to question the estimated advance payments for 24/25 return (seems crazy it's not optional, but there we go) & ask for guidance for an adjusted figure based on this year's tax. 'Oh, just pick any figure,' she says breezily. Ma'am, I'm NEURODIVERGENT. GIVE ME SPECIFICS PLEASE.

FIRST PLR STATEMENT FIRST PLR STATEMENT!! Also, I am literally over the moon that there seem to be a fair few people getting The Witchstone Ghosts out of the library. Libraries rock.

The Universal Credit system is totally unsuitable for authors - and indeed, the majority of self-employed freelancers. To be viewed as 'gainfully self-employed' there has to be a regular monthly income above a certain amount, ignoring the advance chunks/ad hoc events payments. Indeed, when... 1/2

Getting booked up for World Book Week (hooray!) - have a some slots left, so schools - if you're looking for a vibrant, interactive visit from an ND author then please DM. Ideally in Wilts/Bath/Bristol to fit around other schools but can go further afield if it works.

It's here! Thrilled to reveal 'The Scream of the Whistle' cover by the incredible Micaela Alcaino. It's May Eve, and the veil between worlds is thin. Join Ruby Darke on the ghost ride of her life... Out 5th June. Pre-order: shorturl.at/E5aXz shorturl.at/oLTwA

I've finally made it on here! I'm a proudly neurodivergent children's author so come connect if you don't mind babbles and rambles on all things books and whatever my special interest happens to be at the time. Also... COVER REVEAL AT 1PM TODAY!
