This retelling of Captain Cook’s death and the merging of two cultures is a trove of miraculously preserved wonders – but beware of the shark-toothed club!

Braughing, Hertfordshire: This fiery plant is one of the most startling sights of autumn – and it has a place in history in this county

On Wednesday at 5pm I'll be chatting live with Surekha Davies and Karen Storey about their superb books, Humans: A Monstrous History and The Approval of Sheep. If you join us in real time, you'll be able to interact and ask questions too.I LOVE that we're starting with these two writers - who's work is so different on the face of things. We're a group of authors supporting each other to find readers, and across our cohort there is a HUGE range of subject matter and genre, across both fiction and non-fiction. We are wholeheartedly embracing this variety. We’re posing a gentle challenge to the idea that readers like to stick to one genre or type of book - and Surekha and Karen's work really epitomises this. We know almost no one who reads like this - do you?#ReadingRecommendations #LiveChat #AuthorLife #AuthorChat #JoinUsView all comments
