Big thanks to everyone who’s purchased original art in the Adventuremice shop!

Even if you don’t want to buy anything, feel free to browse and see how the illustrations look before they’re scanned to go into the book. (Go visit before I take down the sold illustrations)

Bath Kids Lit Fest managed to get early copies of our new book, ‘Adventuremice: Mousehole to the Centre of the Earth’!

I’ve only had my one author copy and it’s SO NICE to see a bunch of them all together ☺️

Breakfast in the treehouse!
Artwork from my upcoming 7th Adventuremice book with @philipreeve.bsky.social & @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social

The original ink & watercolour paintings from the book will go on sale on the evening of launch day, UK 9pm, Thurs 9 Oct…

If you're interested, mark your diary!

Painting of the Adventuremice - and a few other mystery characters - having a sunny breakfast along the branch of a tree. The book's title mentions the 'centre of the earth', so why is there sunlight, and a tree...?

Hey, @studioteabreak.bsky.social people!

I’m afraid I wasn’t able to keep the email that account was linked to. Which means I can’t get into my StudioTeaBreak account to explain why I’ve stopped posting. Huge apologies!

I still post on X, so if anyone’s on both platforms, feel free to cross-post🙏
