PODCAST ALERT! I recently had the great pleasure of talking with @molcher and @2000adcomic about #lockwoodandco, Bartimaeus, comics, and pretty much everything else under the sun - including my early love of interactive game-books… Chatting about those reminded me that I made lots of game-books when I was about 12-13, including the two shown here: Star-hunter and Tower of the Undead. You can see that ghosts were very much a feature of my literary output, even then… ⚔️
Anyway, it was a fun, far-reaching conversation - do tune in, if you can!

Happy Sunday! Here are three more BEHIND THE SCENES pics from my wonderful night on the #LockwoodandCo riverside set last year.
First up: the café owner meets Flo Bones! This was my first meeting with the fabulous @hayleykonadu_!
Next: a January night on the Thames is a magical (if nippy) place to film a show.
Lastly: a close-up of the café owner’s newspaper, showing the frankly AWESOME level of detail with which @completefictionpictures recreated Lucy and Lockwood’s world. Simply astonishing. ⚔️

Happy Sunday, everyone! Just over a week in, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the love and support that #LockwoodandCo has received. It’s all thanks to @mrjoecornish, the phenomenal cast and crew of @completefictionpictures and everyone at @netflixuk, who all worked for years to make it a reality.
To celebrate, here’s a special picture - showing the first time I met @rubystokess, @cameronchapman__ and @alihadjiheshmati all together. 😊

My view from the cafe counter, as Lockwood, Lucy and Flo have their important conference. We were filming at about 1am on a January night on location by the Thames. It was a trifle chilly… ☕️⚔️

About a year ago, a new proprietor took ownership of the Barge Cafe, down on the haunted banks of the Thames. He had a shady past: some say he’d been a relic-man in his youth, others that he was a DEPRAC operative gone to the bad. Now he serves good tea and dodgy sausages to the agents, relic-men, relic-women, sensitives and night-watch kids who risk their lives in the London night. Flo Bones is a regular and valued customer. Very occasionally, even Lockwood & Co. drop by…
Many thanks to @mrjoecornish and @completefictionpictures for letting me don the apron! ⚔️

CORNISH & STROUD LIVE NEWS! I’m thrilled to announce that on Friday 17th February I’ll be doing an ‘in conversation’ event at @waterstonesbath with visionary writer/director/impresario @mrjoecornish - yes, the very same Joe Cornish who has just created ‘Lockwood & Co’ for @netflixuk. Please join us if you can. We’ll be talking books, TV, ghosts, and the merits of walking around your house without your trousers. Tickets are limited, so please visit waterstones.com/events for details. Hope to see you there! ⚔️
