Some of the places that inspired Daniel IngramBrown when writing #thefirebirdchronicles I’ve always loved walks,along rivers,up mountains,through dells,across pastureland.Gordale Scar is an impressive limestone ravine in the YorkshireDales,one of my favourite writing inspirations
From tumble-down manor houses to tropical islands, from ruined abbeys to capital cities, places have always been a big inspiration for my writing. Here are my top ten inspirational writing haunts with some of the book extracts they’ve inspired.

My latest article for the @NEUnion Educate magazine explores why we need to get to know our pupils as readers, and whether the Reading for Pleasure provision we feel we're offering is always the same as the one the children feel we're offering. @salaam_max#edutwitter
"While it’s a fabulously fun children’s book, it really highlights the challenges that adopted children can face. That’s something that’s important to Daniel, who is the author of The Firebird Chronicles series of children’s books"
I had a lovely little interview published by Living North Magazine about how being an adoptive dad shaped the writing of my book, Bea's Witch.

“At the National Literacy Trust, we have always known that reading for pleasure changes lives. Now, for the first time, we can see the significant economic impact of supporting a love of books outside of the classroom.

I was interviewed today on BBC Radio York for #NationalAdoptionWeek. We talked about the process of becoming an adoptive dad, the joys & challenges of adoption and how the experience inspired my new book Bea's Witch: A ghostly coming-of-age story.

We had our first in-person author visit for almost two years today. Had almost forgotten what an amazing difference they can make to a school...kids excited, staff excited, parents excited, lots of book talk. The perfect way to end the week. Thanks @Nigel_86.
Lovely review for Bea's Witch in @TheYorksTimes!
"The author brings the mystery and sense of foreboding to the page with some highly atmospheric gothic description..."
