Thank you @lib4sch.bsky.social! "A chilling time-slip revenge story full of atmosphere that kept us on the edge of our seats! Truly a fitting follow-up to Randall-Jones’ debut title ‘The Witchstone Ghosts’."

Thank you so much!

A publishing shout out - I'm running a panel for
@write-mentor.bsky.social WOWCON about navigating the publishing industry as a neurodivergent person and I'd love to hear from ND-ers on the other side of the table; namely agents/publishers/etc. Please DM if you're interested!

The Scream of the Whistle by Emily Randall-Jones Cover illustration © Micaela Alcaino 2025 Unlike other old-fashioned forms of transport, steam trains are still enormously popular today, with plenty of us enjoying the opportunity to ride on them …

Not just a ghost story, but a ghost story with a steam train, The Scream of the Whistle by @erandalljones.bsky.social is out now and probably best read with the light on 👻

Thanks SO much for this Kit - I hugely appreciate your lovely words and I'm glad you enjoyed this. Also how has nobody else come up with 'right up my tracks?' I'm nabbing it!

Mr Blue Sky has returned, so it's back in the garden for a morning read.
I'm back on the middle-grade "train" today, with "The Scream Of The Whistle" by @erandalljones.bsky.social
The village of Melbridge is quite intriguing...

Ooh I hope the sun stayed for you, and that Melbridge didn't bring the darkness TOO much...

Ah Jacqui!!! I'm so glad you got it and thank you!!!! I really hope you enjoy itxx

The book, the cover of which shows a guard in uniform next to an engine with steam billowing from its funnel while two children creep away on its other side, and the accompanying press release.

Very excited to receive a copy of The Scream of the Whistle by @erandalljones.bsky.social Ghosts AND steam trains - what’s not to like? Out now for 9+ readers, huge thanks go to @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social 👻

Genuine q - if you're a children's/YA author, would you do a library/school event without payment but with bookselling/signing through local indie? Comments & thoughts v helpful!

It was so lovely of you to come (and to see you for the first time in a decade, I think!) Hope the chocolates were enjoyed and would love to hang with you and S soon xx

Mightily chuffed about this: www.telegraph.co.uk/books/childr... @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social

Last night my daughter asked why so many publishing houses are named after birds and animals. Anyone care to offer an explanation?

The Scream of the Whistle is out next month with @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social ! Pre-order a signed, dedicated copy from @mrbsemporium.bsky.social mrbsemporium.com/shop/books/t.... I'm v proud of this spooky, ghostly tale, inspired by The Signalman and the abandoned railway lines I grew up around.

My book is here, and she's a beauty. Thanks so much @micaelaalcaino.bsky.social and @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social - The Scream of the Whistle, out 5th June.

'The Scream of the Whistle' is starting to appear online... not long now... check out this extract on the @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social site: www.chickenhousebooks.com/books/scream...

#writing and #publishing communities - I'm looking for (ideally) remote, flexible work. Specialities include running events, creative writing workshops and interviewing a bunch of industry people. LOVE running workshops with young people too - please share and keep me in mind...

This is further proof that AI companies are free-riding on the work of authors, which makes effective legal regulation that gives creators proper transparency and control all the more urgent. We're working with our partners in the creative sector to urgently make this case to the Government.
