One of my favourite word stories. Alcyone was daughter of Aeolus, god of the winds; she was turned into a kingfisher and made her nest on seas which her father kept calm and tranquil. A lovely one to hold on to.

I love working with Simon Big Green Bookshop, not least because I receive some weird and wonderful dedication requests. The offer is still open.

This new book I’ve been working on has a cover that I can finally share with the world. What do you think? I’m hopelessly biased, but I think it’s a thing of beauty 😍
