icymi the cover for my new book, THE AGE OF IMMERSION is out! Here's why I wrote it, what's going to be in it (everything from medieval tournaments and pageants to panoramas, installation art, Happenings, the Starcruiser, and jubensha), and how I researched it.

Absolutely huge victory as the Green Party take on Labour and win in Brighton! Huge congratulations to Cllr Mark Strong and the entire team. Labour have tired old solutions and Burnham is more of the same. The Green Party is the change we need. Awesome win! 💚🎉

I'm hearing a lot about this in the book world, and my husband is hearing a lot about this in the theatre world. If you care about the arts, please put pressure on your local MP as this really needs to change.

For research purposes: I am making a new, tourable solo immersive show with puzzles and high levels of audience agency, centred on my Key of Dreams character, Dee. Is this something you'd be excited for and where would you like it to tour to? (Reply if you're happy for your response to be shared)

Dolly Parton was not a billionaire, because multi-millionaires who are good people like her never get past that last finish line. Not when there are kids who need books to read and sick people who need vaccines.

4) Hamlet (An Experience) How do you do something new with such an established piece of theatre? Abridge it and make it interactive. Here, the audience become the other characters as Hamlet (a brilliant Emily Carding) conducts proceedings. Wonderfully atmospheric; Carding was sublime.
