Hi Lauren. Thanks for the question - I couldn’t find your question in the app so I logged onto Safari.
Thanks for the kind comments. I don’t know which book or story you read. Environmental themes as well as those of being an outsider and having a disability are themes I tend to return to, and I often use magical realism as a tool. I am soon to submit two novellas, which are much longer versions of short stories in my book An Orchid… One is loosely based on the real incident of all the crab deaths up in the north of England and the other is about a woman with a special relationship to birds. My present WIP is set in ancient Mesopotamia, though, so a departure, though disability still features. (less)

Suicide of a Nation by Matt Goodwin
"The only thing commendable about this book is its brevity - though 204 pages was a struggle to get through because, for an ex academic, Goodwin has a very poor grip over evidence and argument. It seems he used AI to write it too - lots of threads on " Read more of this review »
