Book deal finally signed. Thank you, Sea Library. Thank you, a room full of books. And thank you, dear sea. Can’t wait to share more but I’ll have to finish the book first.

Browns, greens, and yellows of late October. Our path to the river, swan parents signaling a softly digital sound. Good morning.

Today at dawn, an Australian radio station interviewed me about the Sea Library. The show will be up in a month or so, but I am already grateful to the starry cosmos for connecting the dots in the most unexpected ways ✨

This week I attended a conference, and one of the speakers talked about Carl von Linné. All I can think about, even today, are his waffle buttons.

This Nov marks 500 years since the first book in Latvian was printed. To celebrate, the National Library invites Latvians to join a photo activity “My Bookshelf”. Today I took mine, with Nemo 🐾 For 10 years I’ve been collecting books about the sea – building my Sea Library, now around 1,000 books
