It always feels a little surreal to finally hold in your hands the book you've poured your heart into over the past year. Between teaching full-time and parenting, finding time to write isn’t always easy—but my fifth book, Rock the World, has been a joy to bring to life. Set…

Are you even in your 40s if you don’t repeat ‘payment accepted’ loudly back to the self-service till in a mock tone, even if you are shopping alone??

Note to self on all future posts - clearly state ‘my tongue is firmly in cheek’ and use a number of the 😉 emoji to support this, not just one. Or even better, just don’t get involved when others are taking their own opinions very seriously 👍

My little boy has just discovered he can text from his iPad. Not really sure about this development… especially when I’m in the next room 😑

🎉 GIVEAWAY TIME! 🎉 To celebrate the eBook release of Rock the World this Friday 25th July, I'm giving away 3 signed paperback copies! 💥 Rock the World is a powerful, poignant & moving journey back to the 1980s. The first name drawn will get 'Copy #1' marked inside as the…

Being completely unable to avoid the Coldplay cheating couple viral video and putting aside any judgements - are there any other introverts out there thinking it’s pretty anxiety inducing knowing you could suddenly appear on a big screen in front of 20,000 people without your…

I hope the curriculum is being carefully looked at & teachers are being consulted. Many ‘working towards’ children simply haven’t had time to consolidate skills, rather than being less able. We’ve got a maths curriculum that fires a variety of strategies at them without them ever…

🔥 It’s nearly time to… ROCK THE WORLD! 🔥 The e-book is released on Friday, July 25th! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “A powerful and poignant journey back to the 1980s. Beautifully crafted, it handles the hostilities of the time with sensitivity. This is a stunning piece of work - I’m blown…

The country seems to be in a state of denial about our town centres, with daily reports about empty shops & ghost towns. Retail has changed & it’s not changing back. We need to innovate & shrink town centres - focus on attractive hospitality & leisure hubs. With cleared areas,…

A lot of them have to fight their schools for UPS, never mind an MBE 😑

This stopped me in my tracks when it was shown before the England match on Tuesday and I showed it to my class the next day. Incredibly poignant story and so much to learn - not just the appalling discrimination, but from Jack himself.

Perfect storm today - car having work done at the garage 🚗 , lashing it down after two months of nice weather 🌧, and two boys stuck indoors. This is the current mood… 😑

This company is sinister - encouraging and celebrating its ‘distributors’ lies and breaking trading standards. At the same time it holds a strong culture of manipulation and normalising terrible behaviour. For them to discuss anything about ethics is pretty funny really.

Our local small town WHSmith with a modest children’s book section, yet 6 shelves (that’s SIX shelves) dedicated to David Walliams. How is one author allowed to dominate like this?? @WHSmith

Dusting off my annual ‘struggling to second guess a SATS mark scheme and articulate a response to an inflexible and prescribed expected answer does not mean you can’t read or understand a text’ comments

Lost a bit of faith in the voting for Smooth FM’s top 500 songs when the genius that is American Pie is number 99, and Club Tropicana is twenty places higher 🙃

Rock the World, my 5th book (first fiction for adults!) is on the way. It’s a powerful & poignant journey back to the 1980s music scene! Deciding on the cover, I gave the designer the brief to keep it simple & make the title BOLD. I’d welcome any preferences from these options!

You see positive posts like this on Facebook, then you scroll down and read the comments and realise that a toxic undercurrent of prejudice is well and truly alive and strong. It’s no wonder so few footballers discuss sexuality
