Was great to be @satealorg conference last weekend. Such a buzz from the organisers and delegates and enthusiasm from all stallholders to discuss and explain their products. We loved chatting about our books and downloadable resources. #bilingual #EAL #bilingualbooks #languages
Up close and cheeky with Ness from Hong Kong. Must be the best name ever when you're visiting Loch Ness Monster territory! And she went away with lots of Wee MacNessie stories in different languages. Our little language star!
School holidays on the horizon so activities for children are essential. Our Inverness-based activity books are fun and info-packed and can be combined with real outdoor trails. Perfect for all the family.

And then there were three! Great to have the wondrous Pauline Mackay of @ablekids Press onboard our editorial team, joining @highlandwriter and @veewalkerwrites. Next time you're in #Inverness why not pop up Market Brae Steps and say hello - or halò! @InvernessBID @BAbooksellers
Weather improving so if you're looking for child-friendly things to do in Inverness, try our latest Wild About Inverness activity book based on the history of the beautiful Ness Islands. #visitscotland #visitinverness #lovelocal #madeinscotland #funforkids

DI Lukas Mahler is taking a breather while I write another series, but this is lovely to hear - thank you so much!
I wanted to read a good book set in Inverness, Scotland, and I chose well: @HighlandWriter's SHADOW MAN. I'll be back for more. tinyurl.com/z4rpmzw4 #MargaretKirk #ShadowMan #orionbooks
Wonderful Chinese New Year celebrations last night in Inverness Town House with the Chinese Consul in attendance. Hard to believe it is four years since the launch in this very spot of Wee MacNessie and the Lion Dance. @WeeMacNessie @BilingMatters @SALTLANGS
One mythical creature to another! A trip from Loch Ness to Giza. #LochNessMonster #sphinx @WeeMacNessie
A privilege to have the novels of this inspirational writer on sale in our shop on Market Brae Steps in Inverness. Keeping Joy is newly-published and is the sequel to Finding Joy. #lymedisease #ChronicPain
Haha you’d never know from the concentration on my face how excited I was to be signing 20 books for a wonderful bookshop! Can you guess which one? 🤔😂 #author #authorslife #amwriting #booklover #lymedisease #lymewarrior #lyme #lymediseasechallenge #chronicillness #chronicpain

Not every folk story comes from isolated glens or lonely lochs. One of the strangest tales I know comes from Leith, just a short hop from the centre of Edinburgh!
It's about a creature called the Shelleycoat, a rare beast that haunts waterways and bogs.

Really great to see experts within different fields and from different countries coming together to research and share knowledge on Lyme disease! What a surprise to see my book, Finding Joy, featuring in one of the presentations to 👏#northtick2023 #lyme #lymediease #booklovers
This is the sort of book which, in the words of a customer this morning, ticks a lot of boxes. So much is wrapped up in this gorgeous cover - a true story as inspiring for adults as it is for children. Let your emotions and creativity loose with your own #storyflowerproject

I’ve had people tell me that they can’t hang their washing out because they get ticks on their clothes but I’ve never experienced it myself until now 😳. Thank goodness I spotted it before climbing into my fresh bedsheets tonight!!! #lymedisease #lymewarrior #lyme #illness
Our version of the Loch Ness Monster, Wee MacNessie, can get out of the water and even climb trees! Is this why the monster's so difficult to find?
