Writing and reviews with an environmental, science fiction, and fantasy touch
Junior books are what I would call early or pre-middle grade. They are for youngsters reading to enjoy a story, which may have some mild danger in it, but still learning many words. I decided there was demand locally for
West Bexington was the venue for my holiday in May last year, and I think most of the information about it was in the guinea pigs’ blog when they came back. I’m revisiting places I’ve watched birds in this area,
I’ve been reviewing the Cassa series as I read it, which was out of order! In the correct order, it’s CassaDawn, (prequel short story recently released), CassaStar (#1), Cassa Fire, CassaStorm, CassaDark. So, having gone 1, 4, 2, 3, prequel,
The Wildlife Trusts’ 30Days Wild starts today. I’m sort of taking part with Dorset, Hampshire and Isle of Wight jaunts. If you’ve been here in June before, you’ll have experienced the pure versions of 30DaysWild, with me doing something wild
A geometric hexagonal building in Florence. That was my interpretation of this week’s writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. And that reminded me of Venice, where a couple went searching for something on steps. This is another woman I’d
Feathers of the Phoenix is a new series from the wonderful Cheryl Carpinello. The Atlantean Horse is book 1, and the story suggests a search for five feathers in all! I already had this on my TBR, but was delighted
Galleon was crying out to be part two of last week’s Fresco story. Well, you seemed to want a part two, anyway. Fortunately the #writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2writing.com fell right into my lap, and we pick up
The Orchid Outlaw was published this month. It gives me a chance to redress the balance from books I should have read years ago where climate policy is now hopelessly out of date, to an up-to-date account of one man
Fresco – well it definitely looks like one, although I am tempted to call it Al, and do something a little more off the wall 🙂 It’s today’s #writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com, anyway. I hope you enjoy
Fatal Legacy is book eleven in the Flavia Albia series. I am very grateful to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity of an ARC. I’m beginning to wonder whether Lindsey Davis is feeling the strain of producing a new
‘Fort’ is the writephoto prompt from KL Caley from New2Writing.com this week. It popped up just as I was considering the James Lovelock book the Vanishing Face of Gaia, which prompted a very unwelcome idea indeed. I’ll be reviewing that
The Butterfly Isles is a tribute to the butterflies of the United Kingdom, or possibly the full list of British species. I thought it was a suitable book to review in honour of the Coronation of King Charles III. He
A Reflections post. I think this is one of the most enjoyable parts of the A2Z Challenge. Looking back over the month, thinking about the blogs I’ve visited and those who visited me. And so, in no particular order… Random
A spring clean needn’t happen in spring, of course. But it’s useful to have a checklist for spring-cleaning your blog–and I don’t mean doing a make-over. And mine is in urgent need of a spring clean. Joylene Nowell Butler, Ronel Janse
Before I get to Footprints, which is the #writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com for the week, I must apologise to anyone who came to Chichester on Saturday hoping to meet me. I had to pull out of the
