Village post at the weekend ?! Wow, thank you Pushkin Children's Books #Vicki I've been reading about this one from Darren Simpson & ooh, that cover by 🇺🇦 Natalie Smillie 🇺🇦 & cool trailer by Tom Martland 👀💭😳 Sarah Odedina 📚😶‍🌫️

A massive thank you Pushkin Children's Books Darren Simpson for this glorious book-post! It sounds incredible. We have loved all your other books, so we’re very excited to read this. What brilliant cover art too. ☺️

Look at Jack getting his cheeky nose in. 😍

I've been spoilt this weekend, not only by the extra day but also by the sight of #THIRST proofs finding their way into readers' hands. A book only comes alive when it's read.

Nothing softens the blow of a long weekend's demise like kind words about #THIRST from the superlative Jennifer Killick. Thanks so much, Jennifer! 😁🙏 Pushkin Children's Books

Who's up for "dark, chilling and gruesome"? 😊 Thank you, Beth, for this wonderful review of #THIRST. 👌 Pushkin Children's Books

"Utterly creepy throughout, quite shocking in parts and written with enormous flair" That'll do nicely. 😂 Thanks for the fab review, Jacqui Sydney 📕. 🙏

We did this. Proud of everyone who signed theguardian.com/world/2025/may…

Going back to my roots. It felt quite emotional. I took my glorious hardback edition of #TheWoodWhereMagicGrows back to the patch of woodland where the seeds for the story were first planted. 1/4 Piccadilly Press 📖✨

Jennifer Killick Darren Simpson Pushkin Press Ready to get going on this.....

Simon's a classy guy of discerning taste, so the fact that he's given #THIRST the thumbs up brings me joy and relief. 😂🙏 Pushkin Children's Books

Some pics from within the luminarium at Lakeside Arts. Like trekking through the bowels of a psychedelic bouncy castle. (In a good way.)

It's been almost a guinea pig's lifetime since I last posted on my blog. But don't be fooled by the tumbleweed - there's plenty going on. See my new blog post about #THIRST's big reveal for the latest news, along with a small pep talk on perseverance. darrensimpsonwrites.co.uk/2025/05/29/new…
