I'm thinking maybe May. If you thought Neri was rash, you haven't seen Livia in full chaos mode yet. #Kirelonia

After a slightly longer wait than I anticipated, book boxes are finally going out this week for The Crown of Conquest (Faerie Universe series 4, book 1) to ARC readers!

I'm still doing eARCs too if anyone wants one of those to get a first look at the latest from Faerie 😊

Having so much fun with this 😂

Not failure at all, it's the creation of the stories that's the real achievement! #ukteenchat

Thank you to @zeenagos.bsky.social for a great #ukteenchat! Can't wait to magic up a copy! And of course to our host-mistress extraordinaire @finlaysonpalmer.bsky.social ☺️

Great advice over on #ukteenchat tonight!

No plotting, evil 😂 #ukteenchat

Hi everyone ☺️ #ukteenchat

Really enjoying floristry!

Don't miss #ukteenchat tomorrow!

Last call for ARC review copies (UK only)
Got a couple of copies left so if you want to find out the latest from Faerie (or dive in for the first time), let me know in the comments!

It just shows the wrapping and/or vase can make such a difference to the aesthetic (RIP kitchen glasses 😳)

Well it does have a talking tree, mistaken identity, a missing princess, witches, magic, and nuns. I even managed to slip in a 'she's behind you' 😳

Not quite that panto, but close 😆

Self pub definitely has its place but you can find so many amazing people in the trad industry as well, especially in the UK children's/YA literature space! #ukteenchat

Huge thank you to @ambercaraveo.bsky.social and @joannamoult.bsky.social for a brilliant #ukteenchat! You're going to get loads of extra subs now 😂 And of course to our host-mistress extraordinaire @finlaysonpalmer.bsky.social 😊

Still not convinced my pantomantasy idea is going to take off but if you say so 😂

I bet 🫣 #ukteenchat

So tempted to have another one of my 'career changes of heart', you both make agenting sound lovely (I'd cry because I can't say yes to everyone) #ukteenchat

Double great advice over on #ukteenchat tonight! 👇

First draft is the whimsy of the pen, the second is the sword of the editor. Or something, I'm tired 😂 #ukteenchat

It's the keeping doing it, none of us know what we're doing, we just pretend we do and saw we have a process 😳 (very jealous of plotter writers who are actually organised and know what they're doing) #ukteenchat

Brain gets excited. Words happen. Is genius. Re-read it. Cry. Start again 😂 #ukteenchat

Love this idea! We've been doing some stuff for championing diversity and equality in children's fiction at the Centre for Fiction/MMU recently, so this might be something we could set up a session for? #ukteenchat

I can't delete more than a paragraph, if it doesn't fit it goes into The File and gets resurrected a few years later. No words are ever wasted if you hold onto them *while hiding from TBR pile* #ukteenchat

And the 1700 word docs with all the bits you've saved for later 😳😂 #ukteenchat
