It's here! I can't believe I get to hold it in my hands. I started this book when I was 13 and it has evolved, grown and changed as I have. I can't wait for you all to read it in September! #fantasy #newbooks #AuthorsOfTwitter

Some wonderful news for Creative Writing @UniOfHull - we are top (No. 1!) in the country in the @compuniguide for Student Satisfaction! Absolutely excellent news and a testament to how hard the team has worked to ensure an exceptional experience for each of our students
The audiobook 🥹 Now on @audible_com and on its way to @Spotify and other streaming services. It was tremendously difficult to record this and whilst I will forever be mortified to hear my own voice, I hope the new listeners enjoy it! 🥳🥳 @BarbicanPress1
The three years since The Fear Talking's UK release has seen an incredible response - each message from someone who it has helped has meant the world, from readers who experience anxiety to those who live with someone with anxiety @BarbicanPress1 @UniOfHullOnline @UniWriting

Here is Piran Scott Westoby, born 9/4/24 at a tiny 4lbs 6oz. That completes our family of four. It’s been a very rocky road to get here and my incredible partner and I couldn’t be happier 💙 #baby #littlebrother #thisisgettingoutofhandnowtherearetwoofthem
