I’m a writer, a mum of five, granny of two and general dog’s body!

So… apparently authors are supposed to “build a community” on social media. Do I need planning permission?
I just want a place for children’s book lovers, parents, readers and writers. Our writing journey, & why #KidLit is so brilliant.
If you’re new here… hello! #MGAuthor

#LUMINESCENCE :A truly magical way to experience the story of London. Beneath the magnificent walls of #WestminsterCathedral, beautiful voices intertwined with a breathtaking light display to create an experience that was nothing short of spellbinding.

Saw this at the Royal Albert Hall yesterday. So good. Geronimo Rauch’s “Bring Him Home” was absolutely beautiful—it brought tears to my eyes(truly)And Jeremy Secomb was the best Javert I’ve ever seen (no offence, @RussellCrowe). #LesMiserables

All you need is love …and a good tree hug—a severely underrated pursuit! Batsford Arboretum is a remarkable “living library” dedicated to the cultivation, study, and conservation of trees and woody shrubs.

MG fantasy matters because children understand something adults often forget:The world is weird! A storm can feel like the beginning of an adventure. Fantasy’s not just magic it’s: Who am I? Where do I belong? What kind of person do I want to become?

A whole lot of music, a whole lot of magic! Childhood classics to unforgettable new scores. Proof that no matter how old we get, the magic never really leaves us.

It’s #NationalTreeWeek Celebrate real-world magic rooted all around us. Trees are storytellers, timekeepers + protectors.
Plant hope, nurture wild places, and guard our world fiercely. (I feel a new eco-story hero coming on!) #EcoFantasy #ProtectOurPlanet

The books we love when we're young change our lives FOREVER! So every time you help a child to find a book they love, and encourage them to read - you are doing something incredible & magical & life-changing. And it will never, ever be forgotten. #literacy

[SF Said @whatSFSaid]

When you ask people about the books that changed their lives - the ones that really made an impact, shaping them at the deepest levels, never to be forgotten - they almost always mention CHILDREN'S BOOKS. That's why I think children's books are the most important books of all!

Today is #InternationalSnowLeopardDay — a reminder to protect the “Ghost of the Mountains.” With fewer than 7,000 left in the wild, every action for our planet helps preserve their icy kingdom. #Wildlife #Conservation #Biodiversity

I am so sad to hear about the death of Jane Goodall. She spent a lifetime teaching us that, as humans, we are no more entitled to our glorious planet than the animals she so lovingly protected. We have lost someone remarkable.

🦇This weekend is #InternationalBatNight Bats aren’t scary! They’re superheroes of the night. They pollinate plants + eat thousands of insects, playing a vital role in balancing ecosystems. So this weekend, grab a torch and look up! #LoveBats #Wildlife #NatureLovers #Conservation

Elephants remind us of the best parts of ourselves—empathy, family, and connection.
These gentle giants face daily threats from poaching to habitat loss. On #WorldElephantDay, choose a better future for generations to come. #SaveElephants #EndPoaching #Wildlife #ProtectNature
