Oh. Be. Still. My. Quaking. Heart. 🤯

It is with joyous disbelief and great pride that I can say “A Passing On of Shells” has been nominated for The Yoto Carnegie Medal for Writing 2024.

Somebody. Freaking. Pinch. Me. 💙

Wishing you all a Happy Hogmanay from the wintery west of Scotland. Here’s to 2026. x

This #BookshopDay, I’m encouraging you to #ChooseBookshops.

As a Bookshop Day Ambassador for @booksaremybag, I’ll be touring across Scotland, celebrating our beautiful bookshops, Sat 11 Oct.

Come say hi! 👋

Self-promotion is hard and embarrassing…

But it’s National Poetry Day.

“In my thirty years of teaching, that was the single greatest input I have ever seen.”

Let me have that one. x

Happy Publication Day to Mat o’ Shanter! 🥳💙

Inspired by Robert Burns’s Tam o’ Shanter and incredibly illustrated by Scottish muralist Ross MacRae, this is a book for everyone. There’s more to it than meets the eye.

Out now from @Scallywagpress.
