Hi, I'm James Batchelor and I'm an author. Let's get to know each other.
Wanted to do a little intro post to myself and my books for anyone who stumbles upon this account. You can find more info at my website.
If you do follow me, thank you so much for your interest and support. If you don't, no worries - I wish you happy reading elsewhere.

Happy #worldbookday2026! This is your annual reminder that #WorldBookDay is not just for kids - treat yourself to a book as well (Not necessarily one of these, they're just some helpful suggestions 😜)
If your kids are into comic books, and you're anywhere near @piccadillywaterstones before the end of May, definitely check out the Comic Book Room on the Lower Ground floor. All the Bunny vs Monkey, Dog Man, Cat Kid, Beano, Asterix, Tin Tin, and tons of others I haven't read (yet?) that you could ask for. Plus, a little drawing station, weekly Meet The Author events, and some of the books on the shelves are even signed!
Last night, we decapitated a goblin-leading bugbear, befriended his pet wolf (he's my pet now), threw the head into a room full of hobgoblins to scare them away, set a grick on fire, interrupted a dark goblin ritual (by killing the goblins), rescued a dwarf, and accidentally/purposefully unleashed an owlbear. Another great D&D session!

The next Wandless story might come together a bit quicker if I didn't keep obsessively mapping the route the characters take

First ever big Lego build complete! So cathartic to build, and i love all the little details.
(And yes, realise this is a little nerdy but sharing here because it's literary, right? 🤓😉)
Big thanks to my wife for such a cool birthday present. Now, which set do I want next...?

Help! I fancy buying myself an authorish t-shirt for when I go to conventions, conferences, etc. Narrowed it down to these three (two of which are painfully accurate) but can't decide. Thoughts?
