There’s nowt Christmassy about my book, and yet here I am, promoting it at Christmas. I mean, it’s got trees in it - they’re not Christmas trees, but they do have secrets? If that helps? Maybe you’re after a gothy, Hieronymus Bosch, Dante Alighieri, but make it 2006, sort of Christmas? Maybe?

A very fairy Christmas 🧚🏽🎄✨

An ideal gift 🌟

Best Children’s Books of 2024 📚👍🏼 https://schoolreadinglist.co.uk/childrens-books-of-the-year/2024/ #kidlit Children's books of the year 2024 - our team has picked a shortlist of great children's and teen titles published in the last 12 months, with fiction, non-fiction and pic..

I had a lovely time on Friday, meeting up with fellow 2024 children's and fantasy debuts for cake and chatter. What a great group! The upshot was my friend Agnes capturing a pic of 'The House at the End Of the Sea' in its natural habitat: pebble dash plastic. So grateful for writer friends...

Three marvellous, magical, myth-inflected titles come out today: 'The World Between The Rain' by Susan Cahill, 'Faedom' by Agnes Monod-Gayraud and 'Lola and Larch' by Sinead O'Hart! That's a lot of fae in one day. Celebrate your forgotten gods, the hidden places you have to squint sideways to see...

Oh wow, it is gorgeous. Even more gorgeous in the flesh than I'd thought. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/faed...
