This is 44🎉 What a wonderful year this last trip around the sun has been. I finally feel like everything I've been working towards is arriving, and I'm very happy with my life, home, and creativity. Now if I could only finish writing one of these darn books I've been fiddling with for years!

There’s talk recently regarding which stream of publication is “best”, with folks debating between self-publishing independently or querying agents and presses for traditional publishing, and the answer is: It depends on what you want to get out of publishing a book. jmfrey.net/2026/07/word...

my latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage.
A woman answers the door.
We have come for the child, says the hooded figure
So soon? she asks
It is time, says the hooded figure.
The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card!
What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure
We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading!
For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness
Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman,
the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them.
Do not cry mother.
I am a writer now.

I had the very fun privilege of being invited to the Toronto premiere of the @tubi original film KISSING IS THE EASY PART, based on the book by @authorchristineduann ❤️ It was very sweet, and it drops on #TubiOriginals on Feb 13, just in time to cuddle up with your Valentine and enjoy the film.

Made my annual batch of harvest soup this weekend! No recipe, really, I just roast a bunch of orange and red things with olive oil and salt, and then put it all in a crock pot with chicken stock and garlic and a crap load of paprika and pepper. Blend until smooth when it's all cooked!
