The 113th Assistant Librarian: Forbidden Pages will be released on 6 October 2026! This incredible cover is thanks to Federica Frenna and Kristy Lund-White, while the generous endorsement is by the wondrously talented Judith Rossell! I can't wait for people to read it. Pre-order link in bio

The 113th Assistant Librarian now has a friend! Lost in a Book continues Oliver and Agatha's adventures as they are confronted with a very special edition of a book that may spell doom for both Hallarum and the Shrouded Alps. More literary peril! More London! And a giant spider crab! (Shudder!)

Little bit in love with the cover design for the Russian translation of The 113th Assistant Librarian!

Fascinated by the fact that in Netflix's Fear Street: Prom Queen, every single instance of the heroine's tortured backstory is ADR dialogue delivered by someone off-camera. They changed the backstory in post! Please tell me someone else noticed this... #horrormovie

Thank you! And it's hard to think of a worse first few days on the job! 🙃

Thanks to a question from a translator, I just discovered a punchline in my published book that doesn't make sense. 🙃 Love this for me!

I have lived through an era in which I had almost any information at my fingertips, where with savvy search skills I could find whatever I wanted, a facility with information Diderot would have wept to have. I'm sixty. I remember before Google and easy reliable search. And now I have outlived it.

As someone who has wanted to be a writer from the earliest point I can remember, I resent the act of writing a lot. Because it’s extremely fucking hard and time-consuming and painful and oftentimes thankless. But that’s what you sign up for when you decide to write. There are no shortcuts.

Some of my favourite performances are when a "big" star does a bit part. See also Robin Williams in Dead Again.

Excellent advice. Every scene you write should contribute to developing or advancing your plot, characters or setting. Ideally, any two of the three.

I really like Death Magnetic (the Guitar Hero version). Also I'd include Septicflesh's Communion!

I'm in awe of how good the Netflix animated Asterix and the Big Fight adaptation was. All the contemporary touches felt 100% in the spirit of the original. Hope we get more books adapted!

Honoured that The 113th Assistant Librarian has made the 2025 KOALA awards shortlist! Ecstatic that young readers so enjoyed a book about a kid who loves books!

Writers: before you sign a contract with a publisher, make sure AI isn't replacing your illustrator, your translator, your editor, your jacket designer. Readers: if you're thinking of buying a book, do the same. Refuse. Resist. If AI garbage doesn't sell, people will stop making it.

Okay, a lot of people are expressing outrage about this, and I also feel outrage about this, but since everyone else has already expressed my feelings for me, I'm going to put on my Teacher of Analytical Thinking Pants and point out something important.

A psychology major friend explained to me once that a significant portion of people vote based on who they think will win (because they don't want to back a loser). Personally, that boggles my mind, but perhaps it would explain a strategy like this?

With thanks to Zoe Walton, Mary Verney, Rebecca McRitchie and all at Penguin Kids Australia who love these characters almost as much as I do! And of course to Melanie Ostell Literary for making all of this possible.

Have you experienced the joy of a toddler having night terrors? Specifically looking *just* over your shoulder, pointing and screaming? Fun times.

the funniest thing about Michael Crichton is that he was wise enough to foresee where all the silicon valley hubris would end but also too dumb to realize he was being propagandized to re: climate change
