Welcome to my BlueSky page! Thank you for visiting. I write about the magical adventures of Magster, the intrepid Cockapoo. Children's adventure / chapter books for 6-12 yrs old. Silverwood Books , Troubador Publishing, SCBWI
Very sad to hear of the passing of Kevin Keegan. He was a hero of mine, back when I kicked a ball, with muddy knees. Always passionate about the game, and later, management. And if you're as old as me, you'll remember those wonderful Brut adverts, with Henry Cooper. RIP Kevin 😔 🙏
Hehehe... I mean, that's not wrong. I can have a laugh now, but I wasn't laughing last night...Oh no, Coco! Profanities flowed and the 'better angels of my nature' struggled to prevail.
It's not too late to drop The Rebel Reading Society a DM on IG, and sign up for this fab online event, today. Loads of authors and illustrators are taking part, including little ol' me, and we'd love to see you there! Bookish chats and a quiz...be there or be square! 😉
If anyone wants me, I've just nipped into The Black Lodge... #twinpeaks
I've ordered the kitchen at Magster Towers to slice the cake, wobble the jelly, scoop the ice cream, and pour the fizzy pop, as I wish two of the loveliest peeps, not just in Kidlit, but life in general, a very Happy Birthday... @jacquisydney.bsky.social #JenniferKillick Have a fab day, ladies!! X
Wishing all the fab indie bookshops and booksellers out there, a truly wonderful week! 🙏😍 Special shout out to my nearest and dearest- @quinnsbookshop.bsky.social @kibworthbooks.bsky.social @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social
If you're into your David Bowie, then I seriously recommend getting down to The Lightroom, Kings Cross, and watching the spectacular 'You're not alone' - An audio/ visual masterpiece in storytelling, tracking the life and career of David Bowie. Absolutely brilliant! 👍 👍
Heading down to that there London. Won't say much, only that I have a direct train in, so I won't need to make any ch-ch-ch-ch-changes...
Super fun evening at @quinnsbookshop.bsky.social for an evening with @robinince.bsky.social. Robin treated us to cool anecdotes from his immense career and about some of his friends - many names we all know. Neurodivergency and empathy were the poignant points of discussion. Highly recommended!!
A very Happy Publication Day to the legend that is #JenniferKillick. A new book / series from Jennifer always has the corridors of Magster Towers buzzing with excitement! Out today from @barringtonstoke.bsky.social #middlegradehorror #youngreaderhorror
Splendid news! I loved this show as a nipper. A genuine shock of excitement has shot through m' bones.
I've just been reading about the 'Scrubs' reboot, and what great news it is, that Carla has been confirmed as returning. So, for all the fans out there, here is a photo of Scrubs/ Carla actress, Judy Reyes. Sorry, I don't know who the other celebrity is...
🥳🥳🎂🎂🐶🐶 Happy first birthday to the second book in the Magster series - Magster and the Auriaku Koi. 1 year old today!!
No bare arm in the Sun today for me! Completed the latest addition to my Native American/ First Nation works, yesterday. A huge thanks to Jess at Fable amd Flesh Tattoo. Lovely job, hon! ...as usual. 👍 x
I've got a bit of bright white string hanging from my shor... Oh, hold on, it's my legs.
Buongiorno, boys and girls! Beautiful morning, isn't it? And what a sweet-tasting brew. I didn't even need to plug the kettle in.... it was powered by my own overwhelming sense of satisfaction. #arsenal #premierleaguechampions #COYG
Here at Magster Towers, @the_rebel_reading_society are cheered and applauded on a daily basis. They do such amazing work as a bridge between the kidlit and education worlds, and that work is done with heart, enthusiasm, and in depth knowledge and experience of both. Check it out!
🚨HEADS UP! 🚨 Tickets are available for the Burton Book Bash - 19th and 20th September. I will be there on the 20th for 'Once Upon a Sunday', alongside a fab lineup of children's and adult authors. I!ll be selling and signing books, and talking all things Magster. Come and see us if you can. 👍🐶
