If you thought all #climate fiction was dystopian, this bucks the trend. A great book, chock full of great ideas and a surprise ending. @janleewriter.bsky.social

@timeshighered.bsky.social wrote a lovely article about my work using #storytelling in #highereducation. It got some bitter comments about having to entertain to get students to turn up. They have a point but I do what I must to get bums on seats! www.timeshighereducation.com/news/fiction...
