  1. It's been a while since I plugged one of my children's picture books, and what's the point of writing a book if nobody knows about it!?

    'The Tyrannosaur's Feathers' is a fun exploration of the science of palaeontology. The book uses T. rex to show how a growing body of evidence gradually shifts our understanding of dinosaur appearance and behaviour.

    On Amazon here amzn.to/3Z7V7JM for the blurb etc, but widely available elsewhere.

  2. @idoubtit Having won a genuine book award last year for #TheTyrannosaursFeathers I have this very decision to make. I didn’t rush to update my profile when we won, and still haven’t, so maybe I do feel a bit awkward about it…

  3. Contract signed for my third children's picture book! Watch this space...

    In the meantime, check out my first two offerings! (Co-author: Jonathan Emmett,

    ""Playful", "smart", "imaginative" and "funny" are among the words our judges used to describe its clever combination of facts, research and recent findings"

    They also said it "makes learning fun"

    I couldn't make it to The Week Junior Book Awards ceremony in London last night, but coauthor @JonathanEmmett and Becky and Hazel from UCLan Publishing were there to accept.

  15. This week I was given this 3D printed T. rex skull model as a gift! It looks great alongside #TheTyrannosaursFeathers book.

    The Tyrannosaur's Feathers was cowritten by @JonathanEmmett, illustrated by @Stieven, and published by UCLan Publishing.

  16. An example spread from #TheTyrannosaursFeathers by @JonathanEmmett and me, illustrated by @Stieven.

    This new book explores how scientific discoveries have gradually changed the public image of T. rex.

    T. rex in the book starts out looking like a 1916 tail-dragging Charles Knight painting. But a know-it-all Velociraptor wants to make some corrections to bring T. rex's appearance up to date with the latest evidence.

    Get it from your go-to book seller.
