Getting my youngest to school this morning was tough. The socks weren’t right. She had sensory overload in the car and no one was allowed to talk. So here’s a thread….#autism 🧵

Hey everyone, tomorrow is my launch and publication day for GHOSTS OF MARS and I am sickeningly excited, so please do mute me for a bit if it's too much (it probably will be!😂).

Thanks for all the support so far, and in advance of tomorrow - it's all so appreciated.❤️

Enjoyed catching up with the @writementor newsletter this morning. Interesting to see the breakdown and barriers to writing and completing a novel. Great final word to keep on plugging away and get that first draft written.

[Matt Cuyes @MattCuyes]

Lovely day exploring the wonderfully maintained house, gardens, grounds and orangery @TyntesfieldNT. Very proud of the perfect makeshift drinks holder too.

A check of the Manx Shearwater study burrows revealed that 77% of nest attempts are still active, the vast majority now with rapidly fattening chicks (which in a typical year would nearly all go on to fledge). Between 2013 and 2021 an average of 71% of pairs fledged a chick.

The non-breeding Puffins have clambered over our guests' legs for years, however this summer they have taken to climbing higher (or at least one has). Anna was the lucky perch this evening. Photo by @RobThomas14 and thanks Anna for having a @SkokholmIsland hat on.

I think this is the most important thing I can say today. #bowelbabe #checkyourpoo

Agents. Editors. Someone hire @jerroldconnors to make a whole picture book filled with these donut characters. Scroll through. They are all amazing.

And even though he hasn’t made mine yet AND even though he likes raisins…I still endorse him 🤣😐💥 #kidlit #kidlitart
