I am so incredibly excited that you have written a third book. I work at a large special needs school in Blackpool and I have used The Clockwork Crow to engage a group of reluctant readers and support them with their Entry Level English qualification. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it to them and then got… Continue reading

More from the strange world of Incarceron?
I am such a fan of your writing—they don’t print some of the books you publish where I live so I ended up having to order some online from used book companies to have it shipped to me. Only mentioning this detail because I wanted to make it clear how much I love your work!… Continue reading

The Bramble King launched.
Last Thursday I had the great pleasure of reading from The Bramble King at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff, alongside my old friend Sheenagh Pugh, who was launching her own latest collection Afternoons Go Nowhere.

Clockwork Crow event at Hay Festival
It was great to talk to an interested and enthusiastic audience at Hay on Sunday about the Clockwork Crow. I had the chance to read an excerpt and field plenty of challenging questions.

The event was made even more special because the great… Continue reading
