Emerging from my writing shed to say: I’VE WRITTEN A NEW BOOK! Set on the wild east coast of Scotland where I live with my husband and three little Elphs, it features a hamster called Forty Winks, an old lady called Mrs Rickety-Knees and two apprentice vets to magical beasts… Fully illustrated (I’ll reveal the artist soon!), it’ll be coming out in February next year with @racheldenden and @laura_houghc’s formidable team at @simonkidsuk 💥

Happy World Book Day everyone! Always so special seeing kids dressed up as characters you’ve created. Here’s a glitter-glorious Utterly Thankless from RUMBLESTAR and an eagle-spirited Eska from SKY SONG. Big shout out to all the brilliant kids I met today at Duddingston Primary & Towerbank Primary - and thanks for the best fish finger sandwich in East Lothian @portybooks 😉 #WorldBookDay
