My first award! Thank you @LancashireSLS

So lovely to be part of the FBA. Thank you @LancashireSLS, to all the schools who voted, to @ebbandflobooks and to the fabulous @Usborne

So lovely to join you @LancashireSLS for virtual school visits yesterday. Hope you enjoy book two as much as book one. I've read @clareharlow 's follow up to Tidemagic and it is utterly fabulous

Thank you so much for inviting me to speak yesterday @LancashireSLS. I had such a lovely time to chatting to everyone ❤️👻

Q10. I’m not very good with advice but it would probably be to find some writing friends. I have a few key critique partners that I rely on to help me, commiserate with me and celebrate with me. It would be very lonely and not half as much fun without them. #ukteenchat #spooksmithsinvestigate

A9. I’m having a go at writing funny middle grade. Not sure if anyone else is finding it funny, but I’m making myself laugh. #ukteenchat #spooksmithsinvestigate

A8. I can’t write a thing without my blood candle and badger skull ink well… Joking😄. I can write anywhere that’s quiet with a comfy chair. #ukteenchat #spooksmithsinvestigate

A7. I think I’m quicker and more focused than I used to be. I save all the worrying until after the story is on the page. At that point, I agonise over whether anyone will actually want to read it. #ukteenchat #spooksmithsinvestigate

A6. Definitely. There's something creepy about the temporary, here today and gone tomorrow nature of them and then there are the acts themselves. Everywhere you look there’s danger and mystery – from the acrobats down to the clowns. What’s really behind the make-up and costumes? #ukteenchat #spooksmithsinvestigate
