Well this is write up my alley! Thank you so much Nikki S, for such kind words about my story “The Day the Sun Wouldn’t Get Out of Bed”. If you have purchased the book from Amazon, reviews like this are invaluable, if you’ve not left one and have 5 minutes it would mean a whole lot to me! Hey you might even get to see it again with this lovely yellowy framing.

The Day the Sun Wouldn’t Get Out of Bed is available to purchase either through myself by following the link at the bottom or Amazon by following the link tree in my profile. Remember 25% of all money made is donated to , who support parents with perinatal mental health.

After a wee 6 month break there, a couple of events has allowed me to be able to donate again to the incredible and essential charity that is . If you want to understand more about peri-natal mental health for yourself or anyone you know just click through the wee tag there and they have plenty of information. Safe to say what they do is very important and probably now more than ever. Just remember if you’ve ever bought a book from me 25% of that profits made from that has been donated to Pandas, so well done you! Hopefully as the year goes on I’ll be able to donate again. Take care of yourselves and each other now.

I had a great time last Friday getting the chance to chat with Brechin High’s Reading Ambassadors Jamie and Daniel, for their in school podcast. Fantastic questions that gave me a chance to reflect and consider my writing and writing more generally with fresh perspective.
Thanks so much to Heather, for the invite, kindness and for being a champion of writing, reading and all things literary! It was very comforting to see and I feel I learned a lot.
Daniel and Jamie will be taking on a project of bringing “The Day the Sun Wouldn’t Get Out of Bed” to some local p4s and trying to build some reflections on our feelings and emotions. I can’t wait to hear about how it goes.
Thanks again folks!

I am so grateful and proud to feature in the Jan/Feb feature of . The Westender is a fantastic magazine, local to us. I’m the near decade I’ve lived in Glasgow, I’ve picked it up numerous times so it is a very cool moment to actually feature in it. Thank you to Tracy Mukhurjee for the article! If you’re wanting to have a look at the article itself have an eye out when walking about the west end, they are in lots of shops and cafes, you can also skim through the online version found at www.westender magazine.com - I’m in the Jan/Feb section on page 12.
Hope everyone’s 2024 has started out ok and you’re managing to push through the cold and dark Christmas hangover. If you need something to bring a little cheer then enjoy my sausage fingers gripping the magazine!

Thank you to for such a GREAT photo and a really lovely review. “Literary gem” I will definitely take! Unless you are absolutely filled to the brim with confidence, then I think anyone that shares something creative goes through the ups and downs of thinking “yeah this is good, this is ok” to “what am I doing, why did I do this, this is Rrrrubbbish!” - personally I oscillate between the two more regularly than I would like. So I will hold onto Jordan’s beautiful words and of course Max’s appreciation of my book at the times of self doubt. Thanks again !

Is there a more fitting place for the punk that is Catherine the Cactus than a shop called Decadent Riot?! I think she’ll fit right in. So happy to be stocked in this shop on Park Road in Kelvinbridge, Glasgow. It’s such a cool gift shop that I feel a bit uncool using the word cool to describe it. Pop in to get yourself some Xmas presents or browse for yourself, my 3 wee books are there now also!
