Look what’s just arrived, the latest hilarious installment in the Lenny Lemmon series by .@bendavis_86 & .@jameslancett. The writing & illustrations in these books explode with clever silliness, heart & warmth. A joy for kids of all ages (& grownups too). 📚 ❤️⭐️

I’ve just finished this beauty on audiobook. A gorgeously warm, hilariously uplifting, meandering masterpiece. It made me want to hop into a seaworthy Yorkshire pudding & float up to Darfield, so I can follow .@IMcMillan’s trail of pork pie crumbs & train chugs to enlightenment.

Happy birthday to the one & only .@darrenshan! The first author who inspired me to pick up a pen. Darren’s books are constantly captivating, uniquely unpredictable & always bloody brilliant! I may be a poet & writer but first & foremost I’m a Shanster! Many marvellous returns sir
The July BIRTHDAY issue of my monthly newsletter just went live, with the focus very much on YOU GUYS this month. Because without you Shansters, there wouldn't really BE a Darren Shan, right?!? Click here: https://t.co/3bcvacHYjx

I always love getting on social media the day after The Met Gala as it gives me the ideal opportunity to use one of my most favourite Midlands phrases. “What they come as?!” #MetGala #MetGala2024 ❤️⭐️
