It’s not every day you sign your first book deal. Delighted that ‘Living Stone’ has found a home at Penguin Books. Publishing Spring 2028. As time goes on, I’m going to post about the writing of it over on insta. But for now here’s Cormoran’s stony heart on my author guide 🐧❤️

Very much looking forward to this. I’ll be talking about my research into Blenheim’s lichens, their cultural history and the life of stone. Hope to see you there!

The brilliant Robin Wall Kimmerer advocating for natural law: ‘… rights of nature is very much framed in Western legal frameworks. Whereas in my experience, what we’re really talking about is not so much rights but mutual responsibilities.’
"The language of natural resources suggests we own them, we deserve them," says best-selling author Robin Wall Kimmerer.
"I want to remember that it’s a gift."
