I've just come here to quietly whisper, that I may have bought 81 books in the last couple of days.... Ssssh! Don't tell anyone!! 📚📚📚
It's been been great to shadow the #AdventureWritingPrize with @Wilbur_Niso_Fdn and @readingagency. Our book group enjoyed #AHouseforMissPauline and loved discussing it with the author @dmccaulay. You can read all about our adventures on our blog: stbbookgroup.wordpress.com/2025/08/11/a-h…
Exciting book group delivery time- let the adventures begin!! We're looking forward to shadowing #AdventureWritingPrize @Wilbur_Niso_Fdn @readingagency
The Dirigible Balloon is an amazing free poetry resource for children (and you might find some of my poems on there too! 😃)

It was sad to see @LtbShowrooms (an amazing local community arts venue) close last week, so I wrote a blog about it. alisonsatuma.medium.com/farewell-to-th… #CommunityArts #Arts #Community
Excited to announce I have three poems launched on The Dirigible Balloon, a lovely children's poetry site. dirigibleballoon.org @TheDirigible #PoetryForChildren #Poetry

I've had a New Year email from my publisher to say I sold NO copies of my children's book online last year. So, if you'd like to help me get off to a better start this year find out more: amazon.co.uk/World-Without-… #books #authors #HappyNewYear2025
If you have no words today, here's one for you. 😥
