I've been working on a medieval fantasy novel.
The story aims to draw parallels with today's climate crisis, fuelled by the greed of a few, as well as misinformation and oppression.
You can read the first chapter here (still needs some editing).

Using an old post but the message is still the same. Project Infant is always looking for more volunteers to help us in our endeavours to try and unearth the names of those who died in institutions around Ireland.
More info on how to be a part of that, below. ⬇️

Hey Bluesky,
Please consider signing & sharing this. It doesn’t matter where you are in the world. Every signature we get on this is a voice that we can take directly to politicians — urging them to take action, that it won’t go away quietly.
Let’s make it happen… ❤️
Encourage others to sign too!

A genuine pic of a fairy in my front garden. Fairies are known to temporarily migrate from their secret dwellings at times of great natural phenomena, like heavy storms, particularly to front gardens in urban areas. In Irish Folklore this is known as 'The Residency of the Fairies'.
