Join @karen.lloyd145 to celebrate the publication of her latest book at an Earthworks event ๐Ÿบ

From the rainforests of Costa Rica to the Balkans and Scotland, Karen Lloyd explores the hidden life of habitats and species including sloths, the rockpool shrimp and the worldโ€™s only truly wild horse. She studies the biodiversity of urban wildflower meadows and the contested spaces of landscape recovery, including in the Lake District where she lives, assessing our human impact on the lives of creatures whose survival is deeply intertwined with our own.

In an era marked by escalating environmental crisis, this luminous collection is a rallying call โ€“ a celebration of renewal and resilience โ€“ for all who care about Earthโ€™s future.

Visit @litfest_lancaster and @kendalmuseum for ticket information ๐Ÿ“š

Happy publication day to Jim Crumley and Symphonic ๐Ÿƒ

Shona McMonagle is back!

We're delighted to reveal the cover for Miss Blaineโ€™s Prefect and the Parcel of Rogues by Olga Wojtas 

Itโ€™s 1788 and Shonaโ€™s crashed the Edinburgh Assembly Rooms, just as society is swooning over Robert Burns (whoโ€™d rather be anywhere else). His supposed muse? Nancy McLehose, aka Clarinda โ€” and sheโ€™s framed Mistress Blaine for murder and sent her to the Tolbooth.

Enter a teenage Walter Scott, enthusiastic ally, as the plot spirals wildly out of control.

Time travel. Literary feuds. Schemes, scandals, and unapologetically resourceful women.

What happens to the Enlightenment when women refuse to behave?

Happy publication day to Kenneth Steven and In Search of Gems ๐Ÿ’Ž 

Blending lyrical prose with personal reflection, Kenneth Steven explores mountains, glens and shores in search of gemstones and crystals. He recounts his delight at discoveries of gold glinting in Highland burns, freshwater pearls embedded in mussel shells, and aquamarines, amethysts, garnets, amber and agates hidden in the wild places where others rarely roam.
