Lovely to come home from work to find my copy of The Haikuist had arrived in the post today. Thanks to Gail for compiling this fantastic anthology @micromancemagazine.bsky.social My haiku in this were inspired by summer beach days, just like we've been enjoying lately.
Absolutely thrilled to have won the short story category in The Federation of Writers (Scotland) annual competition with my story 'Pineepple Delicht' federationofwriters.scot/annual-competi…
Amazed and relieved that these beauties have survived all the recent rain and now the wind
It's lovely to get away for a break, but it's hard to beat summer days in the garden
Another week, another play - this time 'The Hop on Hop off Bus' at The Sanctuary Theatre
Just loved 'Death on the Nile' at the Grand Opera House in Belfast last night
Really enjoyed two very different plays 'Steel Magnolias' and 'Bouncers' at the Ulster Drama festival this week. Outstanding acting from top amateur teams
Good catching up with #kidlit writers and illustrators in Belfast yesterday at the Seamus Heaney centre at Queen's. Thanks for the invitation Children's Books Belfast. Managed to combine it with a plunder at No Alibis
'A Bomber's Moon' at The Sanctuary Theatre was amazing last night. More dates have just been added.
It's been a great year for tulips - in the garden and in this lovely new anthology which arrived today (I've a story included). 🌷Looking forward to dipping into this over the Easter break. Thanks to @micromancemagazine.bsky.social for choosing my work
Another evening, another book event 😀 Tonight it was Patrick Gale talking about his new book at Belfast Central Library @librariesni.bsky.social
It was great to catch up with writing pals and connect with writers, illustrators and industry professionals. Looking forward to the next one already
Unfortunately all good things do come to an end eventually. I've had a blast the last few days at Children's Literature conference in Belfast. Congratulations to @shirleyannemcm.bsky.social & Stephen at Seamus Heaney Centre at Queen's for organising such a fantastic, inspiring, encouraging event.
Insightful day at Children's Literature conference today. Great to hear papers reflecting some of our local children's writing greats - Martin Waddell's novels & Oliver Jeffers' space art. Even managed to squeeze in a whistlestop tour of Oliver Jeffers' current exhibition at the Naughton Gallery
Great start to the Conference on Children's Literature at the Seamus Heaney Centre at Queen's University, Belfast tonight
Great night of Scots poyums at the Crescent Arts Centre with Len Pennie tonight
Happy #WorldPoetryDay I'm very thankful to all the publishers, editors and people passionate about poetry who've published my work in their anthologies
Thrilled to have a couple of new poems up on the latest flight of the Dirigible Balloon. Thank you @northernjim.bsky.social for everything to do to build this wonderful poetry resource for children #amwriting
What a wonderful performance tonight at Belfast's Grand Opera House
