@bearhuntbooks I hope you enjoy it! My daughter is autistic. She was the inspiration.

[Gavin Extence @GavinExtence]

@joan_of_orc Hi Kathryn. Thanks so much for your very kind words.

I'm also undiagnosed as autistic, but the AQ test thinks I am! And I share a fair few traits with Phoebe and my daughter. So who knows?!

In any case, I'm very happy to hear that the book resonated with you.

[Gavin Extence @GavinExtence]

@LawrenceJMason @tabithawild Thank you. I always feel like Melody doesn't get much love, so I'm happy to hear this!

[Gavin Extence @GavinExtence]

And I'm proud to have you as my editor!

[Chloe Sackur @ChloeSackur]

Proud of @SheffCouncil for taking a stand and backing an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The UK government and opposition's refusal to do likewise is utterly reprehensible.
