Had a lovely time with some Year 5 pupils from Ysgol Gymraeg Nant Caerau yesterday, creating characters and stories together (there was lots of imagination in that room!)

Amser braf dros ben yn creu cymeriadau a straeon yn Hwb Trelai gyda rhai o ddisgyblion blwyddyn 5 Ysgol Gymraeg Nant Caerau ddoe.

Diolch i drefnwyr Eisteddfod Gadeiriol Caerdydd am seremoni hyfryd wrth i mi gael fy ngwobrwyo â’r Fedal Ryddiaith nos Wener. Diolch hefyd i’r beirniad Gwennan Evans am ei sylwadau caredig, a llongyfarchiadau mawr i Alun Tobias (Y Gadair) ac Alaw Williams (Tlws yr Ifanc) ar eu camp hwytha.

Such a happy occasion on Friday as I was awarded The Prose Medal at Cardiff’s Annual Chairing Eisteddfod.

I’ve been painting a lot in the studio last week. Lots of new textures to put in my colour drawers!

Paratoi lot o weadau newydd yn y stiwdio yn ddiweddar.

It was lovely to run some workshops for Ysgol Gymraeg Pwll Coch pupils recently. Many thanks to the staff at Canton Library for the warm welcome.

Braf iawn oedd cynnal gweithdai gyda rhai o ddisgbylion Ysgol Gymraeg Pwll Coch yr wythnos diwethaf. Diolch yn fawr i staff Llyfrgell Treganna am y croeso cynnes.

Dyma glawr fy nghyfrol newydd ‘Camau Bach’ (@y_lolfa ) fydd allan yn y Gwanwyn! Mae’r nofel yn dilyn cast o gymeriadau sy’n byw eu bywydau mewn tref fach ddienw, rhywle ar y ffin rhwng Cymru a Lloegr. 

Here’s a cover reveal for my new novel ‘Camau Bach’ (Little Steps), which traces the interweaving lives of the residents of a small Mid Wales market town over the course of a year of change.

So chuffed that my collection of intertwined stories, ‘Porth’, is now available on Borrow Box and on CD. A big shout-out to the actors, Elain Llwyd, Siân Teifi and Siôn Eifion for portraying many characters so effectively.

Wrth fy modd fod fy nghyfrol o straeon cysylltiedig, ‘Porth’ (Y Lolfa), wedi ei throi yn CD ac ar gael i wrando arni ar Borrow Box. Diolch i Gymdeithas Deillion Gogledd Cymru am gynhyrchu’r sain, ac i’r actorion dawnus Elain Llwyd, Siân Teifi a Siôn Eifion am lwyddo i bersonoli sawl rhan mor effeithiol.

It was lovely to spend time with Year 3 children at Melin Gruffydd Primary School yesterday, creating work based on my ‘Mira’ series.

Amser braf brynhawn ddoe hefo plant Blwyddyn 3 Ysgol Gymraeg Melin Gruffydd yn rhannu am gyfres ‘Mira’. Diolch am y croeso!

Always fun to co-run workshops with Huw! Thanks to the Books Council of Wales for the invitation.

Wastad yn braf cynnal gweithdai gyda’r gŵr! Diolch i blantos Ysgol Glan Morfa, Ysgol Pwll Coch ac Ysgol Pencae am eu cwmni.

Chuffed that the third in the Mira series has just been published. A big shout-out to James Cottell for the fantastic illustrations once again!

Wrth fy modd fod ‘Mira a’r Goeden’ newydd ei chyhoeddi. Dyma’r drydedd gyfrol yng nghyfres Mira. Diolch o galon i James Cottell am luniau arbennig unwaith eto ac i dîm Atebol.

Many thanks to Dei Tomos for the interview on BBC Radio Cymru about my novel, Porth, this evening.

Diolch am y sgwrs gyda Dei Tomos ar Radio Cymru heno, 11fed o Chwefror, am fy nghyfrol Porth. Braf dros ben oedd trafod y broses greadigol.
