It thrills me to bits to share this reader's response to Dance of the Earth. 😍 #books #dancehistory #historicalfiction

Anna M Holmes @annamholmes.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay. Big issues/easy read! Eco-thriller BLIND EYE is about those who do & don't turn away from things that are difficult to see. Originally an award-winning screenplay, then novel, and endorsed by environmentalists and politicians. #writers #environmental #readingcommunity

#booksky BLIND EYE is an eco-thriller, originally an award-winning screenplay. I was inspired by my partner, a founding member of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to write about illegal forestry. Endorsed by a spokesperson for climate change in the House of Lords, and global rainforest campaigners.
