A family flees a forest fire, treading water for hours in the sea before they are rescued. Traumatised and scarred, the forest destroyed, they seek answers in order to heal. A perfect metaphor for collective responsibility for global warming.

Red book cover of The Book of Fire by Christy Lefteri. A tree, half in leaf, the other half burned. The silhouette of a jackal. The book is held up in front if a woodburner.

Distracted myself from #amquerying by taking an art class with 3 friends. We painted apples. 🍎 Mine looked more like a 🍅. 😅

BEAUTY IS A BRITTLE GLASS is set on the coast. I run on the sand at low tide, for inspiration & to work out plot holes.
If the lovely agents who have my query, partial & full, would like to read more or arrange a call, you'd make this sweaty running girl's weekend. 🏃‍♀️

Slow Saturday. Finished 'None of this is True' @lisajewell.bsky.social for #Chapter34 #bookclub.
Two women's lives become entwined when they meet in a restaurant celebrating their 45th birthday. They are birthday twins. Twisty, page turning plot.

I read 'The Girl With The Louding Voice' by Abi Dare at the weekend. Loved the voice of Adunni, a young Nigerian girl, forced to marry, trafficked into domestic service, longing to gain a voice through education. A louding voice. Loved it.

I love this portrait of Jane, painted by Wendy Barrett. Wendy captures her strength and compassion. I love the warmth of the pink tones.
Wendy lives near me and won Sky Portrait Artist of the Year in 2023. Wendy's commission was to paint Jane for The National Portrait Gallery in London.
🙏
Portrait of an elderly woman. Soft tones, compassionate eyes, silver hair, a strong face. It is naturalist Jane Goodall

Nine images in tones of blue and green depicting a woman in a white dress on a Catwalk, a pier, a woman's face being injected, a ring of spooky trees and two arms reaching for one another. One pale, the other devil like.

It's no surprise I write historical fiction, when I live in an 18th century cottage and drive a 1969 Morris Minor. 😁
