I’m going to Harrogate next month! I’ll be stopping by @waterstonesharrogate on Saturday 25th July from 11am-1pm for a FREE signing event. I’ll be signing books old and new - please come along and bring your collection! I can’t wait to see you all. And I hope it will be less hot than it is today.

As is tradition, I present the 2026 MMU Progress Pride flag, made up of recent additions to the global MMU bookshelf. Existence feels so hard right now, in so many ways, but we have to remember just how many of us there are across the world, and how important each one of us is. We take care of each other, and I hope my books can help take care of you through the difficult times. With all my love ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Beyond delighted to have been featured in @sanchitabds’s piece in @thetimes on getting children reading. Perfect crime solving series! 🥰🔎

(Also, she’s right about the Hat trilogy and Mariesa Dulak’s picture books. Absolutely unbeatable.)

The thing about AI is, I’d be a less down on it if it actually worked even a tiny bit!! I mean, not a LOT less down on it because there’s still the environmental impact and the privacy and safety issues and the drive to monetise intelligence and creativity and fun. But SLIGHTLY less down on it. Anyway the good news is that it’s making internet searches completely incomprehensible so you’re about to have no idea what is going on with any public figure ever again. Hooray?

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that if

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that if you have changed your name for any reason, I will always be happy to send you a signed sticky label to cover up an older incorrect dedication on one of my books. For free, forever, wherever you are.

Write to me at redbreastedbird@gmail.com with your request - your details will not be shared further, though this inbox is monitored by more than one person. If you are under 18, please let a trusted adult know that you are doing this - you should never be emailing anyone you don’t know without taking proper safety precautions!

There’s a new addition to the MMUniverse - the Portuguese editions of Murder Most Unladylike and Arsenic for Tea are now out from @penguinkidspt, translated by Dulce Alfonso. I’m so delighted that Portuguese readers can now discover Daisy and Hazel’s adventures - and so proud that, twelve years after the books were first published, my detectives are still reaching new territories! 🇵🇹
