So, today I turned in the first draft of Book 6, the final book in the Uki trilogy. There was no hard copy to photograph this time, due to lack of paper and ink, so here is the trusty notebook I planned all 6 books in, complete with an early doodle of Podkin.
Very excited to reveal the cover of the next Five Realms book: Uki & The Ghostburrow! Art by the amazing Fernando Juarez, from one of

. It’s still set in the five realms world of the Podkin books but based on new character Uki. I have ten copies of the proof to give out. RT to win. Published 5/9/19.
Lovely followers, a cheeky request: if you have enjoyed my books (or any other author's), and have a few minutes to spare, please could you leave a super-quick, super-nice review on Amazon (or any other website). It really helps with our sales. Thanks in advance. 🙂
Anyone who has spent five minutes in a Reception classroom knows they spend 95% of their day smearing germs over each other. Worst possible year group to send back. Unless you want herd immunity on the sly, of course.
Just received an actual, finished copy of Uki! Thank you so much
@faberchildrens
I hope all the Podkin fans will like him just as much. Due out beginning of September! 🐰

Keep your eyes peeled for a giveaway very soon! 👀
I’ve had my Inktober picture printed as mini-posters for events etc. I also sold a kidney and bought a book of stamps, so first ten people to comment can have one in the post. 🐰
I will be doing a couple of book signings this Sunday, at Southampton and Salisbury Waterstones. Come along and save me from sitting at a table on my own all afternoon, looking like a numpty. 😂
Managed to get the first draft of this done, just in time for the children to bring home the traditional Christmas illness. This year it’s norovirus flavour. 🤮
With the news that schools are set to close due to the pandemic, I thought it might be useful for parents and teachers to have some resources to use at home. I've put a few on my website, and will add more as and when I make them.

My 9yo daughter has spent months learning this rubbish, is bored out of her brain and now hates the subject she once had a passion for. All so she can pass a test in two years time and then promptly forget it. It’s tragic.

I've put all my Inktober pictures together in one post, for those who like badly-drawn fantasy cats. Doing one drawing a day for a month is seven million times harder than it sounds.
From the Ice Wastes beyond the Cinder Wall emerges an unlikely hero. Uki Patchwork. The Magpie Demon. Uki of the Two Furs.

Doing a 3 Billy Goats newspaper-writing activity with my 6yo for home school. She suggested headline: ‘Triple Troll Trouble’ because “it’s like the Beastie Boys song”. Don’t think I’ve ever been so proud 🥲
Hooray! It’s time for
