Fancy a little taster of Chi Chi the Panda? Well here I am reading a few pages! Thanks to my editor - mini Chan. This book is illustrated by Jo Lindley who is brilliant! Do go check out your local library (or ask them to get it in!)

@the_traitors_ @TheTraitorsUK is on again and we are obsessed. I was pleased to see Prof Hannah Fry in the line up but fear she is being hunted by Miranda! I was reminded of the time that Hannah kindly endorsed my debut novel - thanks @FryRsquared

Glad to add my name to letter from 50 green groups urging PM to be clear that #climate breakdown is cause of the current extreme heat crisis. The public deserves leadership on the nature of the challenges the country faces & a robust plan to tackle them theguardian.com/environment/…

Perfect for panda fans! The true story of Chi Chi who lived at @zsllondonzoo and then became the face of the @WWF @wwf_uk
I just saw there was a snake on the loose in Glasgow City centre a couple days ago…I would have screamed and then run.
It’s wonderful being invited to a festival but sometimes I have to make my own social media posts about my events and promote them on my own socials. If you have 600 events then their socials only have room for the big names.
