Good afternoon my office gets asked hundreds of times a month to help certain causes. We cannot highlight every single one however this one caught my eye. The Parents of Jools need your help please to gain 100,000 signatures for #JoolsLaw - a law that will help all parents protect their children. Jools (aged 14) died, the parents have NO idea why, but they fear that he viewed harmful content on social media that helped lead him down such a tragic road. As a parent & Grandparent, we should have the right to view our children's social media. Currently we don’t. All parents should have this right, whether their children are alive or dead. The tech companies don’t seem to want to do anything to stop harmful and violent content from reaching kids. So, the government must empower parents to protect them by giving us the right to see what they see. Please sign this petition to change the law to protect all living children and in Jools families case, to help them find answers as to why their precious child is no longer alive. Thank you You can sign the petition here petition.parliament.uk/petit…

V much looking forward to this!
So excited to be taking part in the Tunbridge Wells Literary Festival this May, with my new posse of Kent-based writing pals! Here we are on Page 3 of The Times (The Times of Tunbridge Wells, that is 😂) although I'm beginning to wish I'd sent a colour photo as I'm looking a little grey here! We *were* going to call ourselves the Kent Crime Collective, but decided that sounded too much like an Organised Crime Group! So maybe we'll be the Kent Crime Writers' Collective instead!! If any bookshops or other festivals are interested in our services (and frankly, we're pretty damn good - we killed it in Faversham), we do occasionally travel beyond the borders of Kent! #tunbridgewellsliteraryfestival #kentlife #literaryfestivals

‘People who are vaccinated can still get covid!’ People who wear seatbelts still have car crashes, too. They’re just MUCH less likely to die. And- correct me if I’m wrong- I was under the impression dying was something we, as a species, like to avoid?
