As you may know the algorithm here isn't so kind to small businesses nowadays. It would be fantastic if you could RT my tweet below/above in which I link to my January illustration workshop.Illness has slashed my income in the last year or so-it would help me so much.
Thankyou x

Ah, a proper honour, thank you!

I am so, so sad that my friend and fellow author Jeremy strong has died. We had known each other for over thirty years. Lots of laughter, mutual support and good meals. RIP Jeremy, old friend. I will miss you.

I’m not a Tweeter. I’m a scroller. But I really want to share what I’ve done since winning #RaceAcrossTheWorld. It’s something I’m really proud of.

@atinuke_TK Hi Atinuke!
I’m so pleased you enjoyed Solomon Snow - I loved writing that one! Sadly I don’t get to decide which books get republished - that’s all down to the publisher🤷‍♀️ So some of my books are still in book shops after 20+ years and some you now have to find in the library!
