I love #indiebookshops! Such cosy, welcoming places. So whilst I target online and face-to-face sales, it’s great to see my books in an actual bookshop #wildaboutstory in West Lancashire.

Did you know...?
In the #hedgehog mating season, males may be attracted by the different smell of the females...? They then commence a rather prolonged & noisy courtship which can include huffing, grunting & a strange circling 'dance'!

Last day before publication of The Badger Resistance Army. In today’s countdown post I want to show you the stunning painting on silk, that Mic Rushen (HeartFelt Solva) painted for the cover of the book.
I am honoured to have the original hanging in my hall. #credittheartist #badgers #animalstories

Banning bonuses for failing water company bosses is important, obvs - but it’s hardly the best we can do? 👀 If we’re serious about ending pollution for profit, water needs to be brought back into public ownership *now*. The fact that Labour Govt won’t even allow it to be considered speaks volumes
Bonuses banned for 10 English water bosses over sewage pollution
Sanctions, including for Thames Water CEO, announced as part of new government powers under Water Act

Four days to publication of The Badger Resistance Army. Today’s featured illustration by Mic at HeartFelt Solva is Farlow, one of two beavers in the story. I loved writing this character. She made me smile as she came alive on the page.
