LATest news

I am overjoyed and very honoured to share that Wildsmith: Into the Dark Forest has won the UKLA Awards for the 7-10 Category. On the same day, it also won the Spark Book Awards for the 7+ category! Click here to read my blog post about that day.

I’m delighted to share that Wildsmith: Into the Dark Forest will be published in the USA by Union Square & Co, in December 2024. Please click here for more information. I’m so excited and can’t wait for this series to fly out and meet readers in America!

It was a joy to chat to Michelle Pauli recently, all about the conclusion to The Legends of the Sky series. Read the interview in the latest edition of Books for Keeps: “Fans of dragons, and epic, thrilling fantasy sagas, should be … pleased that this wonderful series has had a new lease of life.” Thank you Michelle!

The final part of the Legends of the Sky series - The Pirate’s Dragon - is now available in the UK from UCLan Publishing. Here’s the finished cover in all its glory, with art by Joe Todd-Stanton and design by Becky Chilcott. Find out more over at the Legends of the Sky page.
