My daughter has a long-standing medical condition. A blood test before Christmas flagged a problem. She can see the abnormal results on the NHS app. It took three weeks to get a GP phone appointment - to be told what she already knows (including the treatment ‘next steps’). The appointment window was “any time that day.” The call came during a university lecture. She stepped outside. It rang off before she could answer. She immediately tried to call back. No answer. No option to leave a voicemail. No option to email either - according to the website. But miss three telephone calls and you get struck off. This is also the GP surgery that gave her a blood test form with another patient’s full name, date of birth and address - and then asked her to walk 25 minutes in the dark to return it. Luckily, she has me - and I’m persistent. Many wouldn’t be - or don’t have anyone to help them navigate the system. This is what access to healthcare now looks like.

@willrdean I can’t wait! 😬

@willrdean Very exciting! I loved The Last Thing to Burn. Can’t wait!

NEWS: the next book…

@willrdean So sorry to hear this Will. What a handsome boy. ❤️

Today we lost dear Monty. He was the loudest and most beautiful of forest cats. Brave, affectionate, and soft as silk, he lived life on his terms. We are heartbroken but we feel very lucky to have shared our woodland clearing with him for 12 years. RIP Monty ❤️

@willrdean I’ve just finished Ice Town and I’m already missing Tuva. That ending! ❤️🥹I loved the interview with your sensitivity reader at the end of the audiobook. It was fascinating to hear about the process. I’ve read all of your books, so can’t wait for your next release. 📚😍

Hello! I’ve been away working on a new story. Wanted to focus and give it my all. Bernie (as always) is on excellent form. It’s icy and quiet here in the forest. More about the new book soon (and other exciting book-related news). Missed you.

Ask a librarian or bookseller instead 🙏

@willrdean Time is precious. Don’t waste it!

As you’ve grown older what’s the most important thing you’ve learned/realised?

Happy #IceTown Release Day @willrdean ❄️ So excited my copy has arrived! Also thrilled to be a resident of Esseberg! 🧊🏘️📖😍

@MaskedSingerUK I think Eiffel Tower is Vanessa Paradis #maskedsingeruk

Libraries as urban living rooms. Libraries as indoor playgrounds. Libraries as service centres. Libraries as community hubs. Libraries as………………Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 🤯 #letlibrariesbelibraries

Bibliotheca develop products/systems that make it easier for councils to cut library staff/librarians 🙄 #libraries

We’ve diversified, eroded & undermined Public Libraries to the point that in many cases they’re barely recognisable/functioning. The public lose confidence/trust, staff lose focus (& the will to live) & Cllrs/Politicians use them as dumping grounds. #savelibraries
