Just had a class in to the book fair and after 45 minutes of intense browsing, I've not had to tidy a single shelf. Well done p6b @CarnegiePS!

My office this week. Yes, I know it's Thursday. This is the first spare moment I've had. 🤔Which probably means I've forgotten something I should be doing right now.

[The Library Troll @Brandon_HC_Lim]

I wonder, does doing these things ever get old? Cat wait to meet some new folks, see some old faces, and share some stories on Saturday at Waterstones Dunfermline. https://t.co/pd77n0RRqr

@emldavies01 Thanks Emma. Have a lovely Thursday!

The first three books in 'The Wizard and The Imp' - An MG fantasy set in 21st century Scotland in which two kids gain magical powers and get caught in a struggle against an ancient evil that can hear their every word.

I'm getting excited for the release of the next part of The Wizard and the Imp...

Winter of Lost Souls

Available from November 25th

Just popped in to my local Waterstones. What's that I see up there?
I feel kinda silly admitting it, but I'm unreasonably excited about that. I'm also looking forward the to seeing folks there in a couple of weeks...

Today's #WritingPromptOfTheWeek comes from Alnwick Gardens from back in June.

Today's #StoryPromptOfTheWeek photo features St Mary & St Finnan's Church and its oddly placed bell. It led me down a strange flight of fancy - I'd love to see what stories other folk come up with from it.

One of those (irksome?) posts that, when _read as intended_, makes everything I have to say seem like inane babble. (More than usual, I mean.) Read it all. Follow the instruction.

[The Library Troll @Brandon_HC_Lim]

The latest class novel set to arrive! 🤯😀Thank you @CarnegiePS!

This week's #StoryPromptOfTheWeek image hails from Islay and Finlaggan loch, which in mediaeval times was the seat of power of the Lord of the Isles. Naturally my first instinct was to make up a story! https://t.co/T7fTdsn26C

@stepha_henson I will get copies for my school library of I can. Apologies if that doesn't happen soon, schools are hard pressed over here.
Sorry for the rant. Meanness like that makes my blood boil, and I'm not at my best right now. Take heart, you've already achieved so much.

[The Library Troll @Brandon_HC_Lim]

@stepha_henson You sell copies daily. Children read them. Some find joy, some find help. To those who do, that is everything. Enjoy that. You made that. 4th:he's wrong. Writers don't choose writing. It's what we are. Don't stop.
I haven't read your books _yet_ but I will. Budget permitting 2/3

Today's #StoryPromptOfTheWeek image I think was taken while at the Scottish Wild Foods Festival some years ago. The collection of nets was supposed to be a faery village. I think it could have a more sinister purpose... https://t.co/DflSoAFpcA

This week's #StoryPromptOfTheWeek was taken way back in 2016 at Cragside. The statue in question wasn't the inspiration for #TheWizardAndTheImp, but I can see parallels to Malachite, although he's quite different in my mind. https://t.co/NF9eaDumQ3

This week's #StoryPromptOfTheWeek (I know. Sorry.) was taken, not recently, at the Fisherground Campsite in the lake district. If you at all like camping you should go there. In the meantime enjoy a wee story - or make up your own. https://t.co/ksmQMcXUkM
