So exciting to receive my author copy of the DK Beijing & Shanghai guidebook. It's exciting to see this in print, because I freelance edited the update in 2019 which got quietly shelved due to the pandemic. So it's extra special to finally hold this book. The full China guide is coming in April!

I'm really grateful to National Geographic for including NIGHTFARING on their list of the best books about the wonders of winter in the Jan/Feb issue. Thank you! 🌌❄️☃️✨

The cognitive dissonance of having to choose whether to attend this vigil for Nicole Good at the US Embassy or a Visit USA travel media/PR networking event at the exact same time on Monday night is actually making me short circuit.

Excited to be headed up to Yorkshire in Feb, where I'll be giving an author talk and book signing at the North York Moors Dark Skies Festival. Free event, registration here: www.eventbrite.com/e/nightfarin...

This week I'm at the UN in Vienna for a conference on dark and quiet skies organised by the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs. This group of people has been working relentlessly for several years to find solutions to the problem of satellite constellations and light and radio pollution. 🛰️🌌

☀️🌑I'm writing a feature on travelling to Spain next August for the total solar eclipse. If there are any eclipse-relevant PRs, brands, astronomers, tour companies or hotels in my network that I haven't already connected with, I'd like to hear about special events, packages, offers, tours & advice!

Today, I learned that James Joyce wrote a poem about the night. 🌌✨🇮🇪 @georgiamacmillan.bsky.social @mayodarkskies.bsky.social

Good morning. Don't forget: joy is an act of resistance. Thanks to this fellow traingoer for the reminder today.

Going back to my spiritual home in the west of Ireland next week for the Artificial Light at Night conference. Looking forward to meeting up with friends (@mayodarkskies.bsky.social) but mostly the cold Clew Bay air, seafood chowder, soda bread & music (Mayo plays a big part in my book NIGHTFARING)
