I only manage to write a couple each year, so they are a great way to catch up on everything that's been happening in our lives and at Custard HQ.

This blog features the latest book, of course, and also a new FREE podcast I've been broadcasting each week and some exciting new additions to our range of unique homeware.

I hope you are having a wonderful Bank Holiday and enjoy reading the blog.

Join us to celebrate the release of Folkestone Five - a children's book by actor, comedian and writer, Jo Burke.

My sixth children's book, The Folkestone Five, is now available to pre-order on our website. www.custardhq.com

I am beyond excited to share this comic caper with you all. It has everything I adore in it, comedy, love and Folkestone.

I am in the processing of organising a proper launch for this one in Folkestone as, Sunny Sands, the last book I released had little to no fanfare owing to the dire circumstances at the time. But now we can CELEBRATE!

More details soon...
