Here’s a few details about The Blazing Book of Dragons published by @buster_books which is included in the @waterstones FEB26 deal NOW until 20th February! 🐉

In this Year of Reading, it’s aimed at reluctant readers aged 7 upwards, but really it’s perfect for dragon lovers of all ages.

There are stories about dragon riders, dragons duelling, friendly magical dragons - and oh yes, we have some despicable, greedy dragons too.

With south-east Asian and Viking inspired dragons, there are lots of fun facts about them, with easy to read annotations and pop-out words. To hopefully this will encourage a new generation of readers to immerse themselves in dragons and fantasy reading.

Here’s my publishing journey so far.

Yes, I’m an avid reader & I love plants – but did you also know I write in my spare time? I’ve been querying for over a year (for non-writer people, that means you’re looking for agent representation).

In 2023, I was very honoured as my adult novel got shortlisted for the @futureworldsprize which is a prize for Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of Colour. This year I was longlisted for the @writementor Novel & Picture Book Awards & shortlisted again for #RevPit - an editorial contest. I’m still seeking that elusive representation for my fantasy novel. Competition is tough but I’m ever hopeful 🤞🏽

As a result of my 2023 shortlisting, publisher @buster_books contracted me to write for their popular children’s book series - The Magical Unicorn Society. And more news coming soon – but I’m working on another book for them about one of my favourite things – dragons! 🐉

Anyway 😅 that’s enough rambling from me – but thought it was good to do a re-introduction. Carry on!

As I get back into books, it’s the final time for some Chelsea Selfies!

I ran around a lot between two gardens and a trade stand for two and a half weeks - definitely got my 10k steps everyday. The weather was questionable and I blame it for my lack of selfies, as there are a few noticeable absences! I missed on with @sophiephilip and @kateag84 – should’ve got one witj @elanlandscapesltd and his dark-romance reading wife (yes we stood in the middle of a show garden and listed our TBRs and exchanged books recs 😆).

Back to books tomorrow. I’ve got a couple of stunners to share.

The best people in life are free! What a crazy few weeks it’s been – RHS Chelsea 2026 has been epic! It’s all over now, but here are my best bits!

A few highlights: shaking hands with @ruth.k.gemmell and seeing Kim Catrall on Press Day; hanging out with @gadd_brothers and @lawnandborderlandscapes @mentaallandscapes and of course my wonderful friend @catherinemacdonalddesign

All the photos and videos make it look like we had nice weather - but it was cold, windy and rainy for most of the planting week, even in Medals Day.

Good things come to those who wait.

My @thebrokennbinding copy of A River from the Sky by @ai.jian.g came before Chelsea madness began, but I managed to photograph it with the lovely preorder books accessories I’d received on publication day. And I paired it with A Palace Near the Wind, the first instalment in the series.

So as I go into RHS Chelsea for the last time today, I’m more eager than ever to get back into writing and looking forward to settling back into a good book.

Felt like a Gold-winning garden to me! @catherinemacdonalddesign and @gadd_brothers were one point off a Gold medal for the @boodles Garden – but Catherine accepted the Silver Gilt Award as graciously as ever.

That’s why I’ve voted for her in the RHS People’s Choice Awards - link in Stories! The level of detail Catherine and the Team has put into this garden has been phenomenal.

Our colleague Pippa took these lovely photos of Catherine telling visitors to the show all about the historical themes in the garden which is inspired by @historicroyalpalaces

Nice to see Catherine with her parents, Carol and Alistair, and also with our colleagues @kateag84 and @ruyan_cronk - and also with Pippa herself 🥰

Well done Catherine - this garden is very much the Diamond of the Season!

Felt like a Gold-winning garden to me! @catherinemacdonalddesign and @gadd_brothers were one point off a Gold medal for the @boodles Garden – but Catherine accepted the Silver Gilt Award as graciously as ever.

That’s why I’ve voted for her in the RHS People’s Choice Awards - link in Stories! The level of detail Catherine and the Team has put into this garden has been phenomenal.

Our colleague Pippa took these lovely photos of Catherine telling visitors to the show all about the historical themes in the garden which is inspired by @historicroyalpalaces

Nice to see Catherine with her parents, Carol and Alistair, and also with our colleagues @kateag84 and @ruyan_cronk - and also with Pippa herself 🥰

Well done Catherine - this garden is very much the Diamond of the Season!

My camera roll lately… RHS Chelsea 2026: a literal whirlwind! 🌪️

Highlights include trying on a very expensive piece of @boodles jewellery called After Dark from the @historicroyalpalaces inspired jewellery collection. I hung out with my colleagues, we celebrated, hugged lots and my only regret is I didn’t get more photos!

It was a pleasure working with @mark_diacono his daughter Eleanor and Lia Leendertz - it’s just a shame the BBC killed our cocktail party! It was also wonderful to see my old boss @lucianogiubbileigardens after so many years - reunited with me and @catherinemacdonalddesign ☺️

Can I get back to reading some books now?! I need a quieter life! 😂

When sentient plants take over the world and an eminent botanist winds up dead, a hungry reporter persuades a rival plant hunter to seek the truth. But as they become entangled, & the victims pile up, they’ll need sharp secateurs to avoid being next.

Character art by @_riarenne 🎨🤩

This is my YA/NA cosy, fantasy horrormance WIP. 50k down, it’s writing itself, hoping it will be query-ready later in the year.

Comps include the character chemistry of The Dagger and the Flame, the murder-mystery of Truly Devious, and the nature-behaving-badly of Hazelthorn.

Four Seasons in One Day. When the RHS Health and Safety team come to warn you of high winds, you know it’s going to be one of those days. Hail, thunder and lightning with scattered sunny spells, but the build must go on!
