This just in. It takes almost as many people to produce a book out as it does to put someone into space! Thanks to all @FlorisBooks @DiscoverKelpies and to @MPhillustrator for Museum Mystery Squad No.6! It looks brilliant. Stand by…the countdown is on to the launch…27/4/23

Ok folks - I’m off out of the Twitter world - I’m done with it - you’ll find me for the next while on Bluesky (still as writerblighter) or on LinkedIn.

#WorldBookDay 2025 was a blast. 3 fun events in Wigtown and 250+ classes logging in from Dumfries & Galloway and beyond. The first outing for book number 13, introducing Granny with her eccentric line in gifts… @DiscoverKelpies @WigtownBookFest

In 2005 I was bowled over to win the first ever Kelpies Prize. In 2024 I had the fun and honour of springing that surprise on @callum_beesley Thanks so much to @DiscoverKelpies for inviting me back - and for all you’ve done for me and for so many other authors over 20 years.

A gravity-defying thief, a blackmail letter, a prized space exhibit... Sounds like a case for the Museum Mystery Squad! Bring your amateur sleuths and space-experts along to @writerblighter pun-packed, fact-filled event at Big DoG this Saturday bit.ly/3IPWxjv @BigDoGFest

Once upon a time, there was a writer in Scotland who entered the #KelpiesPrize... Does this sound like the beginning of YOUR story? You have until 5pm on 29th February to submit your idea for a children's book - what are you waiting for? @SCBWIScotland @ScotBPOCwriters

P2 have started a new class novel...Museum Mystery Squad and the Case of the Vanishing Viking by Mike Nicholson. We had a good hunt in the playground and found quite a few hidden vikings who kept a secret message...
