My daughter Trina and I spent a couple of lovely days roaming Ynys Enlli/Bardsey, filming the video for After the Clearances. And now, a week before publication, here it is! Enjoy!

Great to see After the Clearances featured in this @turnarounduk.bsky.social round-up of climate fiction to watch out for.
I love the Writers Review blog, so it's been an honour to share some of the ideas behind my new novel with @lindanewbery.bsky.social on the site this week.

'We can choose to write contemporary fiction with no acknowledgement of the crisis going on outside our windows; but it will look as strange to readers in a hundred yearsโ€™ time as a novel set in 1930s Germany would look if it made no mention of the war.'

I was fortunate to read an early copy of @martinebailey.bsky.social 's sinister and gripping Isolation Ward - love the cover, which conveys the atmosphere brilliantly!

I really hope so - it's a gorgeous read but also a message that all need to hear and understand. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ’š
