Thank you so much, Caroline - it's hugely appreciated!

Thank you so much Ashley!

Thank you so much! It's quite a surreal thing to see one of my books on a list like that!

Ha ha! Thank you for being patient - I do feel it will be worth the wait in the end!

Thank you so much, Caroline! It's been nearly 4 years now (or possibly 6, or 13, depending on how you count these things!) but I do feel sure it's getting closer & closer with every draft!

Thank you so much, Helen - it was an amazing thing to see!

Thank you so much Matt - that really means the world to me! Sorry it's taken me so long to see this - I've been off social media for a while, trying to focus on finishing my next book. I think it's getting closer and closer... but it's not quite there yet!

Thank you so much for including Varjak Paw in this fantastic selection of animal books! I think their appeal is timeless. Here's something I wrote about them that I hope you might enjoy - some thoughts I gave at the opening of a great exhibition at the BL a while back:
