The Night Raven by Johan Rundberg: loved it! Dark, atmospheric, and bleak; with a warm centre in the growing relationship between sharp-eyed orphan Mika and gruff Constable Hoff as they investigate a gruesome murder. #JohanRundberg #MiddleGrade #KidLit pageturnercliffhanger.com/ho…
Fried ducklings aren't always what you expect - and other observations of life on a tiny barren island. #ToveJansson #TuulikkiPietilaä Gorgeous book production by @SortofBooks
“I love editing. It’s one of my favourite things to do.” That was agent @MollyJamieson talking to Stuart White tonight at @writementor. ❤️ Thanks Molly, really interesting insights!
Happy publication day to @LindsayGalvin, @BarringtonStoke, and #TheElixir! History, alchemy, courage, and witch-hunting clash in the 1600s. Thrilling ending! My daughter loved it! 🌟🩸🧙♀️🧪

A fascinating documentary by award-winning filmmaker Richard Taylor (1933-2015). Richard joined @BAS_News in 1954 and spent a year at Base Y, Horseshoe Island, shooting a documentary single-handedly and subsequently selling it to commercial television.

I am almost at step one.

ALT Title: How to focus on writing your book There follow eleven tiny images telling a story. The captions read: Turn your devices off (a writer with a phone and laptop. The screens are dark). Put them in a drawer. Lock the drawer. Throw away the key. Leave the house. Do not look back. Keep to backroads and hedgerows. Feel your old life slip away. (the writer has shed his clothes) Sleep by day. Forage in the evening. Write by the light of the moon When you have a passable first draft, commit a minor crime and use your phone call to contact your agent. (the naked writer is in a prison holding a phone while an unamused police officer looks on).
The success of Escape Room owes so much to teachers, school librarians, reviewers and readers sharing their love of the story, so if you know someone who enjoyed Escape Room, please let them know that Escape Room: Game Zero is coming soon! One month to go! linktr.ee/edgechristopher
