@theLucyStrange That's amazing! 👏👏

26 hours in (9 of which I was asleep). Words written: 5K. It is a little known fact that snacks consumed on a writing retreat don't count, because your brain needs the calories

I am taking myself away from home, family, domestic chores, cats etc for approx 30 hours to see just how many words can be written when I have no other responsibilities or distractions.... Let's see what happens shall we? But first....

@OctoberJonesCo @SYP_UK @publishing_post Huge congratulations! 👏

I'm so thrilled to share that my debut #MG book is being published by Cadno, the new imprint from @graffegbooks 🙌😁📖 Out next year, it'll be available in all places one normally buys books. Absolutely over the moon! tinyurl.com/GraffegRK

Had a blast at the launch of 'The Island at the Edge of Night', thank you so much @theLucyStrange! Absolutely chuffed to be able to celebrate. 'Nobody does it like Strange!' 🙌 And so brilliant to fortuitously catch up with @danrhodesuk, thanks for the advice, great to see you! X

Lovely discovery of the second-hand bookshop @DelapreAbbey today. Love the 'surprise books' labelled with tempting hints about what awaits within the beautifully-wrapped pages!

@SophsWills @TJGriffiths @simonkids_UK Yessss!

And on that note, exciting times ahead! Genuinely can't believe it's my turn to do the vague 'exciting announcement to come!' tweet, but... 'exciting announcement to come!' 😁 #amwriting #kidlit #MG

Well, this is the best gift ever. A very special young person read the draft of my book, loved it, and presented me with an illustration of the characters! She's really nailed it, the details are incredible! Of course it had to be framed and hung next to my writing desk! ❤️ #MG
