A very exciting day! A trip to London to talk about my new series Captain Sunshine, publishing in 2026, and news of it in the Bookseller! ❤️

Man in the pub just ordered two soups and there wasn’t even a snigger 🤷

Mr Prickles, the very tall cactus, and I love a book with strong cactus characters, and #squirrelandduck by the dashing @tompercivalbooks.bsky.social is no different. It’s really fun, great stuff, Tom! ❤️

Why can’t our government tell these companies that if they want to use our work they have to ask us first and pay for it? Protect your workforce UK Government.

Here's a little limited edition oddity I made this year: odd short story by me, strange art by #AlexisDeacon. Rumi's Dream is a weird poetic tale of what survives, and what happens when you step on the cracks. Only available here: www.afharroldkids.com/rumis-dream

A little book called Rumi's Dream by A.F. Harrold with illustrations by Alexis Deacon. An inflatable raft filled strange people, including a bear floats in a starscape.

With the long covid on the way out, I’m thinking about getting back out into the world of school events soon. If anyone wishes to experience the Disco Flamingo, meet my moose hat, or even go on an adventure with Pigsticks and Harold, get in touch!

Spent the day discussing career choices at Rye College with Year 8s. It’s hilarious trying to explain writing/illustrating as a career, or why anyone would want to do it as a career based on how a 13yr old perceives the world. Money? Fame? Ease? However, work life balance is 👌🏼

Yes I have just finished illustrating a book! Madame le Pig may not be pleased, but I am 🙌🏻

From an annotation-friendly copy of A Christmas Carol we were asked to get for my daughter for school. How hard would that widow be to track back?!? There are millions throughout. URGH!

Does anyone else keep a Substack page? I used to love blogging back in the day, and now use Substack as a regular newsletter/diary thing. Better than putting it on Facebook, at any rate. My latest talks about magical snow, which is a thing, OK!? open.substack.com/pub/alexmilw...

We reached the stretch goal target for my children’s book Kickstarter campaign! This means everyone who pledged or pledges now gets stickers as well as the book! So chuffed. And there’s still four days to go if you want to join in… www.kickstarter.com/projects/ale...

Hello! Plotting a book on the train. It includes an archduke, a recently uncovered Roman villa, a cursed golden doubloon, and the history of the metal detector. Who wants it?
