You will find me and the Magical Mister Mishkins series in the town's original apothecary from 10-5.30 next Saturday, where I will also be selling Mister Mishkins' 2026 calendars, Jigfoot by Moongazer Tales, and even Sandstorm under my pen name Adelaide Halsey alongside Mister Mishkins' Apothecary and The Magic of Mister Mishkins.

I look forward to seeing you there and sharing the Christmas magic!

Today is World Kindness Day. But I want to know - Today is World Kindness Day. But I want to know - what does kindness mean to you? What does it look like? Does it have a particular feeling or voice? 

Kindness can be so many things. A smile to someone, sending a card in the post, offering a hug, through to taking over elements of peoples' lives when they are struggling - walking the dog, doing the shopping, or taking them to places they need to be when they don't know how to ask. 

And then, there is the self-kindness. That little voice in our heads that we listen to a bit too much when things aren't going as we feel that they should. That pushing of our selves when we are already exhausted. Sometimes, we need to remember to be kind to ourselves, too. 

Be kind, not just on World Kindness Day, but every day. Even the smallest of things can make the biggest difference.

The Magic of Mister Mishkins is enchanting young r The Magic of Mister Mishkins is enchanting young readers the world over, and I thought it was time to introduce you to the cats from book two who live within the realm of the Apothecary. 

The first cat in book two is Waffles, who helps a young boy who is scared of the dark. Instead of being scared, Waffles shows him the magic that can only be seen at night - stars and badgers, anyone? I thought so!
