Hey, gay people! This straight lady knows more about us than we do ourselves! Better not disagree or she’ll sue you into silence as well.
Announcing the title of the second book in the new Chaos Walking trilogy: THE VAULT OF HEAVEN!! Cover reveal coming soon. Out in April 2027!!!
In case you were wondering, this is what the director of Evil Dead Burn looks like. No reason. No reason at all.
Announcing the title of book two of the new Chaos Walking trilogy next week. In the meantime, still time to read book one…
My US publisher @candlewickpress.bsky.social just quietly doing the decent thing. It’s not that hard.
My bad, it’s obviously Megatron from Transformers. Apologies to the evangelical community.
My new book PIPER AT THE GATES OF DUSK is out today! A new Chaos Walking trilogy begins!
America! I am going on a book tour in you later this month! I’ll be in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Connecticut. I’ll be returning next year for book two and going to more and different places! It’s a big country! I’m doing my best!
This is the courtyard outside The Cursed Child in the West End covered in protest chalk for Trans Day of Visibility. Well done, London. Well done.
Signed all these today, beautiful special editions for @waterstones.bsky.social Out a week from Tuesday!
Nine years since I had a run-in on the other place with George Galloway after he announced to great fanfare his “children’s book” and I went on Radio 4 with a sceptical eye. His book eventually came out on his own “publishing company”. Would that all self-published authors got that press.
Also, and I’m not being maudlin, but today is my dad’s birthday and exactly one year on from his funeral. This little book was the last book of mine he read, and one of the last pics I have of him. The deep seriousness is just our family Norwegian face. Love you, pop, and miss you.
I truly can’t tell you how delighted I am that the first Lizards book has been shortlisted for the @carnegiemedals.bsky.social I love writing these books sooooooo much; they’re just pure joy for me. Plus Tim Miller’s hilarious illustrations, it’s just utter pleasure. Made my day.
Look at wee baby Pedro Pascal approximately a thousand years ago on CSI.

Got the new Tyrant Philosophers book by @aptshadow.bsky.social LOVE this series.

Genuinely could not be more delighted to have Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody (illustrated by the awesome Tim Miller) on the Carnegie Longlist. I absolutely love these little weirdos, and I love writing middle grade. What a fantastic surprise. Go read the other titles on the long list too!
I am literally surprised every single episode when Jack appears. #TheTraitors
