A non-fiction nature writing project

A non-fiction nature writing project

Nature writing is something I’ve been intending to do more of. It’s already four years since I went on inspirational workshops with Mark Cocker and Patrick Barkham.

It was during my #30DaysWild Challenge that I considered the issue of environmental themes in my stories. If only I could think of a good topic to write on, one which I had some expertise, or at least experience.

Then I realised I have a unique opportunity to write about a patch of land that I can see from my house. It’s owned by someone else, but it’s basically a managed field, part of the flood plain of the River Wensum in Norfolk.

BookElves Anthologies – middle grade short stories

BookElves-Anthology-2

BookElves was a concept that arose out of an earlier work led by Sally Harris who got a number of authors of Middle Grade stories together to put a chapter of their work into a teaser volume.

Those authors then felt an anthology might be fun to do, and I project managed both volumes, with covers by Danielle English.

The Viridian System Series – science fiction

Out in the Viridian System nobody much cares how many names you call yourself by. Just live and let live. Or die if you must. Nobody cares. Or do they?

Why is everyone taking an interest in a system so far away all of a sudden?  It’s not just the orichalcum-rich asteroid belt. Is it?

Science Fiction/space opera for grown-ups, featuring asteroid miners and hired women…but not for long.

The Princelings of the East fantasy/time travel series

princelings series covers

The Realms: a world of kings and castles, rivalries and communities. Our two major characters, Fred and George, set out to solve a problem, and unleash a revolution.

George, a progressive, an inventor, and an enthusiast for all things that fly, starts by discovering the real power of strawberry juice. Then he finds flying machines. And before the series ends, he will have changed the face of the world as he knew it.  

Fred, a thinker, a supporter of the right to self-determination, accidentally becomes King. Not what this philosophical supporter of democracy wanted at all. Thank goodness he finds his true love, Princess Kira, to help him navigate the social changes he so desires.
