I haven’t written a blog in AGES, but not because I’ve been lazy… it’s the complete opposite; I’ve been busy writing and editing the sequel to ‘Little Bird Flies‘ – ‘Little Bird Lands‘. Bridie’s adventures in Victorian Scotland may have come to an end, but on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, her new …
So the ‘Little Bird Flies’ audiobook is now available! If you want to hear what Little Bird sounds like, you can download it from Amazon, Audible and Apple. And you can hear the the first chapter right now via this link…
Q: How chuffed am I today? A: VERY! Because ‘Little Bird Flies’ has just been made ‘The Sunday Times’ Children’s Book of the Week. I have celebrated with a very LARGE slice of carrot cake… And it’s been a great week for my new novel; apart from my launch party (I’m sifting through photos and …
It’s the official book birthday of my new novel, ‘Little Bird Flies’, a historic adventure set on a remote Scottish island, from publishers Nosy Crow. I’m having a wee launch party for it at my local bookshop, and I asked my cake-making friends if they might make me a cake of the Saltire; the Scottish …
So the book version of ‘Little Bird Flies’ comes out this Thursday (10 Jan) but the audio version will be coming soon… and here is a photo of actor Helen McAlpine, in the recording studio, voicing the whole novel. I know how Little Bird (Bridie) sounds in my head, but I just can’t wait to …

I’ve got a very special book coming out in early 2019… one that I’ve been thinking about and dying to write for years. ‘Little Bird Flies’ is a drama/adventure set in 1860s Scotland, and my publisher – Nosy Crow – are sending out bound proofs to reviewers now (see photos). The cover is lovely, but …
Stories and books can be long or short – it doesn’t affect how good they are. It’s the same for reviews; I LOVED seeing this one, sent to me by ‘Library Girl and Book Boy’. A girl called Harriet borrowed a copy of my latest ‘St Grizzle’s‘ novel… ‘St Grizzle’s School For Girls, Gremlins and …
‘St Grizzle’s School for Girls, Gremlins and Pesky Guests’ is here, here, here! It’s number four in the series about a not-very-ordinary boarding school. Don’t they look nice together as a set?
