Hi. I write MG children's books (4 Bloomsbury & 1 Barrington Stoke), all set in S.Wales in the past with strong working-class rep & a political edge. My agent currently has a 4th draft of something which steps into a new genre & I'm about to sign a contract for a secret thing. Thanks!

Ha! I think mine would be Clarence from It's a Wonderful Life.

I had to look up who that was. The Port Talbot connection only goes so far it would seem...

Even as a vegetarian I am happy to read this.🤤

Sent an invoice, got paid THE NEXT DAY! To be fair, that's more of a miracle than good news but...woohoo!

How lovely! I bet they were very proud. I've been back to my secondary school a few times and it's so special.

Oooh yum! I've never made an open-topped one. I bet the texture is great. Might try that...

☺️

I'm so sorry this happened to you. ❤️

I also made a cheese, onion and potato pie this morning after a busy week of pressing SEND on a manuscript and school events down south.

I finished this last night. Beautiful! Very moving, funny and with characters who get to your heart. If this doesn't AT LEAST make the @carnegiemedals.bsky.social nominations list I'm going to have a very large strop. #kidlituk #booksky
