Just putting it out there in the universe

I suspect lots of young people will be wanting to read about girls football following the Lioness’ latest success. I have written lots of books in this genre

Also - for any editors interested, I would always love to write more 😂
I really like the sound of this one, Jacqui. Will be interested to read your review.

A new middle grade from Kirsty Applebaum is always exciting and I can’t wait to read magical mystery The Strange Disappearance of Imogen Good. Out 11/09, huge thanks go to @becmason26.bsky.social @nosycrow.bsky.social for this fab proof! 🥰
