Posting this as a reminder for myself. The pressure to post on socials gets to be so suffocating. Balancing client work & personal projects is already stressful, but adding algorithm-chasing to the mix? Exhausting. Not to mention when likes/views start to dictate self-worth. #INeedAVacation#KidLit

Sorry to keep banging on about it, but my first book for adults came out last week! Just in case you haven't seen it yet, it looks like this! It's available in print, ebook and audiobook in the UK, and in ebook and audiobook everywhere else (with print to come)

The Little Coffee Shop of Terrors, which is BRIGHT YELLOW and features a bloody coffee cup and a cute cat

I just spent the first half of the morning shaping up my fall goals and working on some writing. What’s everyone doing this cloudy, windy Monday? 🍂 #kidlit

Had to paint Moo Deng!! I love her so much

Digital paintings of Moo Deng, a grey and pink baby pygmy hippo, in three different poses. Bottom left shows Moo Deng with her eyes closed with a person's hand holding her chin, and a little pink heart floating over her head. Top center shows her standing in profile with her mouth wide open, looking surprised and like she is yelling. Bottom right shows her completely motion blurred and yelling at the camera.

Voids are in vogue today. Or is it everyday? Happy Friday the 13th! #kidlitart

seeing "Howl's Moving Castle" in ads with the words "20th anniversary screening" does not compute
