I got the idea for my picture book Rabunzel (illustrated by Loretta Schauer) from my daughter's toy rabbit in a princess dress. My daughter still has the original Rabunzel & today she got her doing chin ups to recreate this moment in the story.

My daughter & I are happy to confirm that tickets are now available for our set at NanoftheNorth's YardFest Saltaire, priced at a very reasonable £5,000 per ticket. If none sell, you can come along for free. Sunday 15th September.

I mean, most people would recognise how small the market is for cafe trumpet jazz here & stop putting this stuff up, but not me. I do it, lob it up here & move onto the next thing. One like is entirely the right number for this. No action is necessary.

If you're wondering why you've logged onto this site & what you're looking for, maybe - just maybe - it's a dance version of Prince's Starfish & Coffee performed by this pair of absolute muppets! #PirateJukeBox

In what sense does jealousy actually turn saints into the sea?

I'm looking for the name of an ordinary boy/girl who winds up travelling into outer-space. All suggestions considered. The winner will get a signed thank you tweet from me.

With today's song, I think I've yet again written a theme song for myself. And yes, I've now got more theme tunes than a character from Ally McBeal... and no, that is not a dated & rather niche reference. Here's the song again. #ScrollTheMusical

Right, no more songs until I've done this book proposal. Or strike me dead. Here's yesterday's again in case you missed it.

Right, book pitch done & sent. Let me know if you need a song.

Childish I know, but it greatly amuses me that her agent is called Blofeld....

Obviously I'm a little ashamed that I google myself, but if I didn't I'd miss out on tweets like this one. This is my all-time favourite tweet of now!
