Bone by Bone paperback launch!

BONE BY BONE PAPERBACK LAUNCH!

A little throwback to the book launch for Bone by Bone at Waterstones. Here’s me reading the prologue…

…and here’s actor Laura Soper reading an extract from Autumn’s perspective.

Author of psychological thrillers, ‘One Year Later’, 'My Mother's Secret', 'The Stolen Child' & award-winning 'Bone by Bone', pub by @AtlanticBooks.

‘The life of the field unspools in front of me – a female pheasant, my daughter has christened Philippa, scratches amongst the decaying horse chestnut leaves; two magpies, slick in their black and white waistcoats, escort a buzzard on an enforced march through the long grass; a jay, head cocked to one side in curious contemplation, inspects the hawthorne for any last remaining scarlet berries, and the wild bluebell bulbs quicken and thicken in the bank, waiting for the lengthening of the days, the promise of mild April air, the final arrival of spring.’

I did an online writing workshop with one of my fellow Royal Literary Fund fellows. Our challenge was to write a long sentence about an object – I chose our field, as I look out over it from my office. Although, my challenge is generally writing short rather than long sentences! 😂

This book is so heavy, you could pretty much use it as a dumbbell! Boundless by @bengreenfieldfitness is almost the completely definitive guide to how to workout, stay healthy, live a longer life and eat well. I say *almost* as it’s a little light on female specific issues, such as how fasting can effect female hormones, and how, as @drstacysims says, we’re not small men, so we shouldn’t train as if we are.

Having said that, I listened to it (41.5 hours!!!) and read it, and it is darn near comprehensive. Highly recommended.

Finished planting a silver birch copse at the bottom of our field. The trees were a grant from @woodlandtrust, and we hope, one day, they’ll look as beautiful as the one at @yeovalley organic garden - we plan to underplant with ferns, snowdrops, white cyclamen and foxgloves too. Or encouraging them in!

I’m reading THE COVEN by Lizzie Fry aka @lucyvhayauthor published by @littlebrownbookgroup_uk. It’s a global political thriller about a world where witchcraft is real, powerful and peaceful, handed on from mother to daughter….until that is, a worldwide witch-hunt begins. Now being female is one step away from being a criminal. A pacy, page-turning globe-trotting supernatural thriller that says as much about how women are treated today, as they are in Fry’s imaginary world.

‘Look what was sewn at night by stars across the field
I am not defined by my scars but by the incredible ability to heal’ Lemn Sissay

When I first heard this line of poetry on @elizabday podcast I found it stunningly beautiful & unbearably sad; I couldn’t understand how @sissaylemn or anyone with severe childhood scars could heal. Now I can. Now I feel I can heal too.

The photo was taken in our mini wildflower meadow last year. I hope it’ll be as beautiful as this again soon. Here’s to spring!

First watercolour! I painted this in #homeschool art with my daughter. We’re teaching ourselves watercolour from a book. There’s no denying it’s a struggle - trying to work and help out with homeschool, but there have been silver linings. More time with my family (a mixed blessing at times, I know! 🤣), but also, learning to meditate to electronic music (!) courtesy of @meya_app, working out with @thebodycoach and @madfit.ig, plus attempting to read poetry regularly with my daughter.

What have your positives been?
