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

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

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in #TREBookshow and talk about DANCE OF THE EARTH, historical fiction set during the late 19th, early 20th century - an era profound artistic and social change. Art is at it's beating heart! @thebookseller.com @caroleinnit.bsky.social

I love writing in different genres. Each book is deeply researched, but fit in different categories. Hopefully my author' 'voice' unifies them.
