@emac77 @FLHerbert @callum_beesley @matthewjneilson I'm hankering for more after hearing your extracts. Looking forward to reading your stories in print one day!

[Jenny Beech @byjennybeech]

Can't say how good it was to spend a whole evening talking about kids books at @DiscoverKelpies. It's a welcome boost to get back to the book and start getting Charlie ready for querying. #WritingCommunity

There are perks of being stuck in the house with tonsillitis. Namely, that I've nearly finished The Silver Blade 👀

ADHD: a nightmare when I've lost my keys again but great when I'm just as excited reading a book for the 5th time because I still can't remember how it ends.

[Jenny Beech @byjennybeech]

I haven't read this in over a decade. I suddenly got a hankering this year so put it on my birthday list. The prose is delicious 😙👌
It's a HEFTY dose of intrigue.

Congratulations to everyone listed.

Getting shortlisted for the Kelpies prize was such an important step on my road to publication - it meant recognition, encouragement, and best of all, new friends!

I hope it turns out to be the same for you.

@CuriosMuseum You misspelt creepy.

[Jenny Beech @byjennybeech]

@HFLane_writing Reframe that as honouring the incredible amount of work authors and their teams put into each book? That's how I sleep at night 😉
