For #PrideMonth2023 I’m hooting about #LGBTQ characters in my books.

Here’s Maudlin Maloney. A good-hearted, but very grumpy leprechaun who turned all her ex-wives into chickens! My FAVOURITE character from the #NothingToSeeHereHotel series❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[Rosie Talbot: WE THREE WITCHES out now! @merrowchild]

Today is a day. I need cute pet photos to sustain me please

In return, I present to you Captain Haddock, scourge of the wilds of Sussex #cats #CatsOfTwitter

[Lawrence Prestidge @LPrestidge7]

Over lockdown @GaryLineker agreed to do a podcast with me. There was nothing particularly in it for him. But he took time out of his MANIC schedule to speak with me after I expressed how much I’d love to talk with him.

For the BBC to treat him like this is disgusting.

I’m not a celebrity with a book deal, and my sales will be tiny in comparison to any celebrity with a book deal, but meeting readers like this one @bathkidslitfest is everything and THIS is why I write.

We see @jess_impiazzi reveal more about her character ‘Danielle’s feelings as each episode progress’

@hollymatthews appears in the final episode of the mini series as ‘Penelope’ with husband ‘Max’.

I urge you to check out this comedy gem this weekend https://t.co/CLnChfWEzw

[Children’s Books Spectacular @CBSpectacular]

Having had the chance to watch the show ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ I want to congratulate our friend @LPrestidge7 on the series. @KelShirl portrays a wonderful ‘high school sweetheart’ you can see how their relationship has had to evolve over time.

[Children’s Books Spectacular @CBSpectacular]

The show contains a perfect ensemble cast. @harriet_thorpe is superb and is complimented perfectly by Curtis Walker. Chris Saul plays an unforgettable ‘Frank’. @kayleigh_pr leads a charming child cast.

Sean and Spencer perhaps bring the most laughter with their household dynamic

I’m in Exeter today and couldn’t resist popping into Waterstones, and found Wren has finally flown the nest!! She looks utterly sublime next to #Fledgling! My heart is still fluttering. Thank you @waterstones_exe for being so lovely and kind to a very excited author! @NosyCrow

[Serena Patel @SerenaKPatel]

Getting to do an event @bathkidslitfest with @redbreastedbird plus meeting her in person for the first time was pretty much as cool as it gets. (sorry for the full on fan girling Robin!)
Such a fab festival, thanks to everyone who makes it happen!

I have just sent out to the world the manuscript for The Other Ones by Fran Hart.
My colleague describes it as Heartstopper meets Gilmore Girls in a Haunted House
Lots of people are reading straightaway and I have a got a great response already..
