I've been very lax about the whole post-on-social-media-to-sell-books thing recently, so here's a feed-cleansing photo of Charlie for you and I'll be back to shout about my books and other people's books soon! 📚📚📚📚 #marketingwithcats #kidlituk #ukkidlit #blackcatsofbluesky @tinytreebooks.bsky.social

The Nina Peanut series by Sarah Bowie is hugely popular in school and I know several fans who will be delighted to read Major Drama Alert. Out 21/05 for middle grade readers from @scholasticuk.bsky.social #KidlitUK #UKKidlit

The book and its press release. The baby pink cover features cartoon-style drawings of Nina, Peres from school and important ‘stuff’ such as an already started Chomp bar, hairspray, skateboard, cat and mermaid.

The larger bookworm has a new book idea. She was right about the grumpy trainee angel books, so I feel I've got to run with it. It's even more bonkers than the angels though...! Here goes nothing! 🤪🤓🤣🤷‍♀️ #kidlit #amwriting #ukkidlit

I'm supposed to be editing book 3 of Undercover Angel. Charlie is supposed to be recruiting cats to his marketing campaign. But we're not doing any of that... 🤷‍♀️ Don't tell @tinytreebooks.bsky.social 🤫🤭 #amediting #sunshine #April #writerlife #ukkidlit #cats #blackcats

A reminder that my books are written without the use of AI. Surely only a human would include 13 cats in one book for no obvious reason?🤷‍♀️ But I do love an em dash.🙃 Keeping it real, one chaotic book at a time.💪🤪 #ukkidlit #humanauthored @societyofauthors.bsky.social @tinytreebooks.bsky.social

Spoiler alert: she definitely does SOMETHING. It total chaos. A chihuahua nearly gets swallowed. Someone's throwing pineapples. There's a load of GenZ slang no one really understands. Phoebe's got no chance of staying out of trouble! @bookshop_org_uk affiliate link: uk.bookshop.org/a/15396/9780...

Mini bookworm is loving this new book from @strangelymagic.bsky.social and @tinytreebooks.bsky.social! Perfect timing before she heads off to secondary school. Sammy’s life is taken over by technology and it makes her life worse, not better... Perfect for ages 9 to 12. #kidlituk #smartphones

It's editing day at Angel HQ! My fav part of the process, making every word shine. 😊 Much tea and a red pen required! If you look closely... you'll see NOTHING! I blurred out the words, cos you can't see bk 3 when you've not even read bk 2 yet!! #amediting #ukkidlit @tinytreebooks.bsky.social 🧵(1/2)

Yesterday I revisited Liverpool's Central Library for top-secret research purposes and everything was almost as I describe it in book 3 of Undercover Angel. (Don't tell! It's a secret! 🤫🤐) Just a few tweaks needed to the draft. #kidlit #liverpoolcentrallibrary #amediting @tinytreebooks.bsky.social
