The audiobook was in 2019. The text version of the story was written in 2011. It's no fun being a prophet.

This evening at 8 UK time I'll be opening my Etsy shop for limited ed’n signed art prints of my botanical/nature collection photographs & frameable greetings cards.
I create my photos using recent research to dial down fight or flight & lift your mood a little when you look at them.

I'm recovering from a breakdown at the moment so things have been pretty tough- if you could spare a few moments to RT my post about the prints of my photos in my Etsy shop atm (previous post) it would help to maybe put my shop in front of a few extra eyes. Thankyou so much 🌿

I plan to post at least one of my photos a day here on Bluesky. I design each of my photos using recent research into the benefits to mental health of looking at plants & patterns in nature.
Making my collections relaxes my noisy autistic+ADHD brain & they'll relax yours by looking at them here:
