I’m absolutely delighted to report that I will be sponsoring one of the GoGo T-Rexes during next year’s GoGo Discover Dinosaur Trail around Norwich. It will join the dinosaurs that have prowled the city this summer. I’m not sure what it will look like yet, but I will keep you updated! The project is in aid of Break, a wonderful charity, and I’m so excited to be taking part! Roar!

Sorry, not the actual lockdown, that’s still very much in place. But the Lockdown in Lockdown read-through is now complete! For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, I decided to try to cheer myself and as many people as possible up by reading through the entire Escape From Furnace series on YouTube.

I get so many letters and emails from you folks, it is so amazing when you get in touch! I always reply, but sometimes my email is blocked—especially by overzealous school email filters. If an email bounces back, I will post it here—although I’ll remove names and emails and any personal information. This week I received a really interesting email:

My new book is out today!!!

I do love a good crime story, and so I decided to write one!! My newest novel, Paper Girls, comes out today, published by Zertex. It’s a fast-paced and furious story about a police detective in the UK who is also a single dad to three girls. Here’s the blurb!

It’s a fact, I probably spend too much time designing apparel… But there’s something really cool about wearing T-shirts and hoodies branded with your books. Anyway, here’s the latest design. I’m making some to take with me on my US trip. What do you think? I’ll see what they look like when they’re printed, and maybe even finally try to get my store up and running. Oh, and I’ll be giving one away, as always, so stay tuned over on my Instagram page!!
