I've just finished a virtual visit with a school who have been using Nen and the Lonely Fisherman in their English lessons AND one of the classes had written a song inspired by the book and performed it?!! What a way to start the day!!! #KidLit #EduSkyPrimary #BookSky @owletpress.bsky.social

Would any publishers/commissioning editors like to take a look at my new picture book?! #KidLit #KidLitChat #KidLitUK

Once Upon a Castle
A sassy, arrogant talking castle must stop an evil countess and a dragon on a rampage! Can they save the princes’ wedding?
Told from the point of view of a fairy tale castle, this exuberantly silly story is an interactive, irreverent, funny tale of deceit, adventure and love. It puts the reader at the heart of the story and, as well as LGBTQ+ representation, it features an original new voice, which so far has been missing from fairy tales: the voice of The Castle! A delightfully subversive and inclusive own-voices story inspired by comic books and fairy tales!
