I have been given permission to reveal the upcoming cover of Bee Speaker, book 3 of the Dogs of War series, coming this June. Mad Max futures, Martian invasions, mad lizards, fungus witches and embattled monks, none of which are quite what they seem.

Lots of questions about potential storm around 21st and yes Atlantic has a number of low systems next week but that is not unusual. A risk of some strong winds over Ireland around 21st but nothing too significant showing at present. Obviously this far out subject to change.

That high resolution AROME model out to 9am shows gusts I’ve never seen this model show before for Ireland and this model is one of the best there is for Ireland. Anyone saying this is just another storm is in for a rude awakening. This will be an historic storm. #StormÉowyn

Idk how to explain it, but I’m such a different person to who I was when I was younger. I feel SO disconnected to my younger self. Does anyone else feel this way?

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.
