Chomping. At. The. Bit. For my new middle-grade series 'The Agency for All things Spectral' published by the brilliant @SweetCherryPub to be released! Bring on Spring 2025 for book 1 ---⬡-⬡---

.@SweetCherryPub has landed a 10-book deal for Samuel Halpin’s new series, The Agency for All Things Spectral, a 'light-hearted ode to children’s horror classics'. thebookseller.com/rights/sweet-c…

Don't go into the long grass..... But it was so very, very worth it.

.@SweetCherryPub has bought the Spectral series by @samueljhalpin, starting with The Agency for All Things Spectral bookbrunch.co.uk/page/article-d… (£)

Some leftover options from a game choosing our author nom de plumes. Some sound slightly more prolific than others...

Caption this ↑ Have always wondered if I should touch up this painting as I made it very quickly. But on reflection, maybe I should let sleeping artworks lie and write this creature into a story instead....Something to Munch on...😱

Caught some magic this AM...☀ A shadow theatre appeared on my wall, taking me to an old, sandy land where mice ride camels and the buildings are shaped like tombs. 🐭🐪 Books have the power to transport us too. What stories come to mind when you see this? I'd love to hear! 📚✨

Exciting and spectral things are underfoot....Announcement Soon... But until then, be suitably teased by this BRILLIANT depiction of something from the new project built by my talented nephew, Finn..... ----⬡-⬡----

I’m continuing to shout about middle grade books! Today I’m revisiting an interview I did back in 2019 with @samueljhalpin about his wonderfully spooky, dark, exciting and touching story The Peculiar Peggs of Riddling Woods. thereadingrealm.co.uk/2019/02/04/the…

Happy book birthday to all of us in the Murder Club! I love how different we all are and how that makes the collection shine even brighter than the sun 😎 Huge love and thanks to @redbreastedbird @harryewoodgate and @farshore as well as all the authors involved. 🔎🔪🏖️

The audiobook of #TheMidnightSwitch is OUT from @WFHowes - narrated with artful eeriness, pace and warmth by the brilliant @russbain1 ! I know what I'm doing for the next 7 hours.

Sometimes its just so worth it when you read lovely, lovely reviews like this of #TheMidnightSwitch ♟️!!!
