Last night was an absolute whirlwind and I am so proud of what we managed to achieve. I had an absolute blast and it was an honour to work with such a lovely company!

Thanks to everyone at Your Chance Productions for letting me be part of this and getting to live my Dougal and Ogie dreams!

Someone's listened to and reviewed #TheBurningAsh #Audiobook and they loved it! Makes all the effort I put into making it worth it! Definitely brought a smile to my face today.

Well that was exceptional. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was wonderful and I'm so glad I got to see it before it left the West End. It deserves a little life across the country and I'd kill to see it at the Minack. Utter perfection.

So excited to finally see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in London. I've been wanting to see it for months and had to get here before it closed. 🦀⏳🌊

Bravo to the cast and crew of The Hunchback of Notre Dame In Concert ! Phenomenal performances of a truly stunning show. Not a perfect concert due to a few questionable and distracting costuming and staging decisions. But I loved it! 🔔🔔🔔

I've just finished editing and have submitted the audiobook for #TheBurningAsh! 6 years after I originally published my debut novel, it's been so wonderful to return to it and narrate it. I forgot how much I adored the world and characters I created.

Just got back from #Fantastic4 #FirstSteps with @ntom64.bsky.social! A really solid film. Easily the best film version of these heroes to date. Very much Sue's film for better or worse, but the entire cast are brill and I can't wait to see them in Doomsday. 😊

Oh how time flies! Today is Milo's Gotcha Day! 4 years ago today he came home with me. A small, shy little pupper with the most adorable face. Little did I know what a special dog he'd grow into and I wouldn't be without him. He's my bestest boy and always will be. ❤️

Two poems I wrote last year to mark the closing of the production of Avenue Q I was in.

Just two of many I wrote throughout the process that ended up in 30: A Year of Poems (amzn.eu/d/hmpNpKP). 😊 Miss my Q-Fam loads!

Can't quite believe that I graduated from @christscollegecam.bsky.social 10 years ago today. I'm not quite where I thought I'd be all these years later, but I'm still so proud of my degree and will be forever grateful for my time there and all that I learned and the people I met.

Even performing 'exceptionally well' at interview isn't enough to get a job right now. Currently feeling utterly defeated.
I can relay that you performed exceptionally well and the panel were happy with your interview, there was just unfortunately, a slightly stronger candidate on the day.

A poem for #PrideMonth about our missing history and the things we don't get taught about queer people through the centuries. I hope you enjoy!

Wishing my incredible Mum a truly wonderful 60th birthday! I wouldn't be here without you in more ways than one, and I love that I can talk to you about almost everything. You're the best and you deserve the world. Love you lots! 🥰
Mum Mothers share their love each day To their dear sons they always say "My little sunshine you bring me joy, My little sausage you're my boy" To them we say "We love you too, You're special for everything you do" But I know that in this world so small My mum's the best out of them all Without her I would not be here Without her I would not be me My mum will forever have my heart My mum will always of my life be part I love you Mum, to the moon and back You're my shining star when the night is black I love you Mum, I always will I hope I will your dreams fulfil.

Bravo to the cast and crew of &Juliet! So glad I got to see the show again at its best (the last time I saw it half the cast were ill and they cancelled the evening show and lockdown came that Monday). Brilliantly funny, excellently deployed songs, phenomenal performances, and just a great time. 🎉

Did you know? My debut novel turned 6 yesterday! I'm still so proud of myself for achieving my dream of publishing my first novel by the time I was 25. Yes, it was self-published, but still.

Happy 4th Birthday to my wonderful, daft, adorable and loving Milo. I couldn't imagine life without my best dog and I can't believe he's now technically older than me! (4 dog years is about 32 years) Love you to the moon and back my baby boy! 🥰

Had a great time @theotherpalace.bsky.social for The Lightning Thief! Fantastic performances of fun material, perhaps a little tonally mismatched as a show (not serious or deep enough for the adults but not silly enough for the kids), but I knew what it was going in so I had a blast. 🔱
