Amazing, amazing. Thank you, @writeblendbookshop.bsky.social This has made my week. 🙏

😍🤩😍 Thank you for reading, @scoobiesue2.bsky.social !

I'm appearing at Clifton Lit Festival next month with a talky workshop on writing for YA, exploring themes, voice and the absolute privilege of publishing fiction for this readership. Come and join me, Bristol people! Open to everyone. Tickets at cliftonlitfest.com/litfest-even... #cliftonlitfest

It's here and available to order! #ElectricLifeSurge is the sequel to the award-winning #ElectricLife by @racheldelahaye.bsky.social. What happens to Alara next? Does she feel at home in Under, or are the walls closing in? Sacrifices, dreams and fears, and, as always, a current of hope.

Yeah this is true for me, too.

Would any senior schools in the West London (Richmond/Kingston/M4 corridor) be interested in a discounted KS3 author talk/workshop on Friday 3rd October on author life/creativity/world building/ futuristic and dystopian stories? Please get in touch!

Lovely day today! I met @racheldelahaye.bsky.social in Wells and then visited the Cathedral, followed by a trip to King John's Hunting Lodge on the way home before having cuddles with baby Esme! Perfection!

It's #NationalPotatoDay and we couldn't let that go by without saying that potato is a unlikely but very real hero in #ElectricLife by @racheldelahaye.bsky.social - if you know, you know. If you don't know, maybe you should find out...

Thank you for reading, Tia ❤️ so glad you liked it.

Goodbye, great man. Funny, was only thinking of him last week at @timminchin.bsky.social show, thinking how Tim is in the new Tom. Razor sharp and raucously comedic, with lyrical hangovers and brilliant preamble. #RIP #TomLehrer

I was trapped in its spell, pinned by beautiful storytelling and the fate of three girls, joined across time by their Wicca ways and ghostly fates. With whispers of mythology yet totally fresh, and woven with haunting gossamer prose... #ghost by @finbarhawkins.bsky.social @zephyrbooks.bsky.social

It's #NationalMarineWeek so what better time to pick up a copy of the acclaimed children's book #DayOfTheWhale by @racheldelahaye.bsky.social which is a love letter to nature and a plea to conserve our oceans, wrapped up in an island thriller!

Everything you need to know about "STORY" in one cartoon, thanks to Grant Snider. He created this back in 2013 for the New York Times Book Review ❤️😁📚 #books #love #grantsnider

Does anyone else find it crazy that you can walk into a bookshop and be charged £9.99 for a paperback novel that took the author a year to complete, but £17.99 for a completely blank notebook?

Me, approximately ten minutes after saying 'right, let's get this show on the road'.

The only goose-stepping I want to see evah!

YA writing question. Should we use 'to whomever' as it is correct, or go with the more natural 'to whoever'? Thoughts?

Going to see @timminchin.bsky.social tomorrow night. Wondering if I should work out a way of popping a copy of #DayoftheWhale #scholasticaustralia in his green room. Tim would make the most delicious Byron Voss in the film.... Ludicrous idea?

🤗 thank you for putting me in the spotlight!

YA's answer to Sex Education (tv), brings huge issues like pregnancy and coercion into focus without sacrificing humour. Brilliant characters, un-sugar-coated and real, Tia distils teen emotion into immediate, must-read verse. Adored #NotGoingToPlan @tiafisher.bsky.social @hotkeybooks.bsky.social

This little beauty, by @racheldelahaye.bsky.social , explores a fascinating premise. I don’t want to say too much, but it explains the phenomenon that was The Spice Girls. As expected, every sentence testifies to Rachel’s huge writing talent. Mystery lovers will adore ‘Splinters’.

Over the flippin' moon #Splinters is shortlisted for the Southern Schools Book Award! #SSBA @troikabooks.bsky.social @agentalicewilliams.bsky.social

It's publication day for Star! by @MichaelamorganM - which looks at the incredible journey of #NadiaNadim. We're giving away three copies to schools, so put a cheer in the comments and we'll pick on July 1st! Pls RT! #giveaway #win #football #education #schoollibrary #sportsteam

Oh, this is brilliant. Thank you to all the pupils who participated, and if any international schools want me to come and visit - to talk about dystopia, technology, futuristic writing and storytelling in general - please get in touch. I would love to travel! #ElectricLife @troikabooks.bsky.social

Ah. Goodreads gives with one hand and slaps your face with the other. I'm obviously only tempted to shout the good stuff, but this could be the most brutal ever and I want to keep it real for you. 😂 #ElectricLife, dividing GoodReads since 2023.

Seagull hiding in my shed with a totally broken wing. What do I do? 😢 (seagull haters, stand down for this one please).

A propos of nothing, but having been bombarded manifestation posts of late, here's what I want: 1. The Omaze cotswolds house 2. For Stephen King to read and love Splinters 3. For the new thriller I'm starting tomorrow to pour plot-perfect from my pantsing brain. That is all. Thanks universe

Hey, I just visited Goodreads and didn't end up slamming my head on a tear-stained keyboard. Thank you 2025. Keep it up. #ElectricLife @troikabooks.bsky.social

This giveaway ends at the weekend. Get a copy of #ElectricLife in time for the thrilling sequel #ElectricLifeSurge by @RachelDelahaye! Reply to the original post below.

🤣

Recently I posted to see if a school in the Wolves/Manch/L'pool area fancied a visit week start May19 because I was doing one up there and wanted to make the most of it. A school got back to me - hooray! - and I'm excited to meet them. However, the first school has just cancelled 😩. Anyone else?...

One month today, STAR! is born. We're so excited to be publishing the inspiring story of #NadiaNadim - doctor, footballer, refugee, ambassador + more! - by @michaelamorgan.bsky.social. We'll be asking school football teams to help us get the word out so DM if you'd like to get involved! ⚽️ Preorder

I think Kylie missed a trick by not re-releasing her dance hit Papam Papam. #pope

How does the Vatican buy stuff? Papal

I like Leo VIX, but for comedy reasons I was really plumping for Pizzaballa so he could end his prayers with 'In Dominoes, padre'.

The rats have chosen a new pope.

Is it Dot Cotton?

Today, I passed through Kent's Bottom. Pretty smooth passage tbh. *Love Wiltshire

We think this is wonderful! This is the mother of Sue Kllauber , who wrote of her family's daring resistance to the Nazis in her older middlegrade novels #Zinc and #Cobalt #VEday #VEDay80

Gone, four months ago today. Still finding the loss very hard to process. 😢 #RocketDog

Good on yer.

After reading the poem “This is Just to Say,” I’m starting to suspect William Carlos Williams was a nom de plum.

Give me a world where I can gaze at kangaroos and elephants and I will be a happy soul.

Looking at summer jobs for the kids, who love languages and Europe. Thoughts flew to Eurocamp. Teamwork, culture, hard graft, life experience. Perfect. Nope. No longer open to those who don't have a lucky EU passport. Brexit, innit. What a horizon-narrowing pile of b*llocks. I'm so sick of it.

Lights go out, walls come tumbling down. Do they? Maybe. Maybe not. You'll have to read it. Writing a sequel is HARD, and I am so happy to announce this news! #ElectricLifeSurge.

People shocked by 'the blue suit' really don't understand how narcissists work. The Pope, center of attention at his own funeral? Can't be having that.

Possibly an unpopular opinion, but watched M*A*S*H the movie last night and I think the characters in the tv series are better developed. I love Donald Sutherland but I just don't think he was that great in this. *ducks* For transparency, Alan Alda's Hawkeye has my heart so I could be biased.

I've just finished writing my next middlegrade and this is both the location and the feeling. Real world beauty with a scifi horizon. My old stomping ground. Beautiful #Anglesey. Praying you'll get to read it sooner rather than later. vm.tiktok.com/ZNd2SP5wn/

Bingo card: 1. He was a big beautiful man 2. I heard he liked me - I don't know but that's what I heard. 3. I heard he pulled crowds. Not as big a mine, but close. 4. *kisses a picture of the Pope* 5. *Cocks head to one side, plays invisible accordion.* Such a shame. He died.
