Bon weekend ❤️

I've been really spoilt today 🥰

Any other teachers want a *discounted* signed copy of Blue Jelly and Strawberries to start the new school year off with some smiles, just let me know ☺️🍓

It's here!! Thank you @attielime.bsky.social 🍓🍓

New nail day 🥰

Lovely to post copies of Blue Jelly and Strawberries to teachers, today. I really appreciate every sale, especially in the summer holidays when I have no new income, 3 children to entertain & school shoes to buy 😂❤️🍓 Signed copies available from me & if you say please, I might give you a discount!

Thank you @ssiggs.bsky.social for this wonderful book - this is going to be brilliant to use in school and the notes are so helpful in exploring the book.

Hello #ukkidlit #kidlituk pals 👋🏼. With my 2nd book just over 2 months away, I'd love some more reviews for Blue Jelly & Strawberries. It's nerve racking hoping The Next Book will do well, but hopefully, reading good reviews for The First Book might help to get it into readers' hands. Thank you! ❤️

Last Chance! #bookgiveaway for teachers! WIN a copy of BLUE JELLY AND STRAWBERRIES 💙🍓 Winner chosen tomorrow! A blue seashell is hidden on my website. For a chance to win a book: 🐚Follow me & repost 🐚DM with the location of the shell & school name (keep it 🤫) (Also on X)

Anyone else make tables with vases out of fuchsias?

WOW! Thank you all so much for your sneaky preorders! I can’t say anything about the title or story yet but I’m so grateful to everyone who has stealthily been finding my next #LGBTQ middle grade book and preordering it! #PrimaryEduSky #EduSky #BookSky

Holiday nails 🥰

Just finished this by @davidjalmond.bsky.social Like all of his books it was deep, beautiful, haunting and unputdownable.

Couple of tweaks for various reasons, but got our class novels for next year locked down. Y3, then 4, then 5 and then 6.

An ex-parent of ours saw my #PrideMonth earrings and nails last week and brought me these today 🥰🥰🥰

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.

My Easter reading so far @kieranlarwood.bsky.social @davidjalmond.bsky.social

Little jaunt to see the cherry blossoms 🌸
