They're back. They're bad. They're PESTS and they're going to be battling V.E.R.M.I.N. the rival school in the garden shed for the Mexico World Cup '82. Get your copy of BATTLE TO THE END August 4TH and turn this up LOUD! @HachetteKids @peachjamcloset

So @thecure how come tickets @TroxyLondon are now on viago go for £1000? It sold out in 3 seconds, that’s got to be impossible.

Pig’s shop is up and taking your orders. It’s all handmade so be sure to get your orders in early for Xmas. Diaryofpig.com

What a stinky treat to come back to after the summer holidays. I’d like to say I can’t wait to get stuck right in, but I’m not sure with a title like this that’s appropriate. Love it! @JimSmithBooks @scholasticuk

Today I was invited to @HighgateSchool to talk about my dyslexia. It was lovely to open neurotypical children’s eyes to what my world is like and to also inspire those with dyslexia to feel positive about themselves. If you’d like me to come to your school DM me. 🤗

A new and exciting addition to my website. The MUSIC button. Yes, I play the banjo and bass guitar and in my spare time I like to make my own tunes. Now you can hear what I’ve been up to. Lucky, lucky you!!!! emerstamp.com/musical-me

Anyone else look at this photo and wonder just who has that many pairs of heels these days?

Here is what thinking looks like for me. I am a visual thinker, I need to draw pictures to help me imagine. Oh, and I also need tea and a slice of chocolate brownie, but we don’t need to talk about that.

🐷 🎄🎁💕

Ooh, a tin piggy mug or two, just in time for Xmas. Head on over to diaryofpig.com and take a look in Pig’s shop. These corkers are a purse pleasing £6!!!

Look who’s back out on the road today. I’ve been very quiet as I’ve been developing a new series, but yesterday it went out into the publishing world and now it’s time to go and talk Pig and my dyslexia. Always such fun. ⁦@scholasticuk⁩ ⁦@pickledbooks⁩ ⁦

Bet Santa would love to listen in to this lovely bunch of events.

Book Two now also in super-duper colour for a whole new set of readers!

It’s taken me 40 years to realise that there’s a reason I can’t spell, can’t tell left from right, often mispronounce or misread works and get confused when telling the time. I’m dyslexic, but that hasn’t stopped me writing books. Let me tell you all about my journey.

Hey @whatSFSaid look what I just got from our local library for our new bedtime story @haringeylibrary

Yays! Lookie here. Pig is super excited. *dancing pig emoji* 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Thanks so much @amolrajan I’m so pleased to hear you enjoyed my dear Pig. 🐖 💨 ✔️

I feel it’s important to admit your shortcomings especially if in doing so you can help others. Struggling with spelling can make creative writing feel like an impossibility, but I hope to convince you that this is not the case.
