Go well, Marcus. What a beautiful writer.
Enormously saddened to hear of the death of Marcus Sedgwick. His writing was brilliant in many ways but his ability to build atmosphere was second to none. MY SWORDHAND IS SINGING remains one of my absolute favourites. Such a loss.

If you’re writing for children or young adults and you’re ready to share your work with agents, keep me in mind. I’m on the lookout for a new talent to work with. Submissions guidelines are on the AMH website.

It was my pleasure to appear on the @hugorifkind show on @TimesRadio this morning, talking about music from Jack White (new) and @ElvisCostello (not so new). 2:49 mark. At the end. Like a mad old aunt locked in the attic.
