Creatures Give Advice Again (and it's warmer now)

Image
The long awaited (not least by its author) second creature book is finally here !. It explores a range of topics including King John's favourite food, caterpillar dreams, the habits of inanimate objects, life, and death. It has some scoop on the elusive river folk and some complaints against plants. In other words it is all about the time between late April until, well until June 21. Here is the cover image  with a very rare splash of colour. You can buy the book as an e-book or a paperback from any of the Amazon marketplaces.

About Project Thicket Lore (Tales from the Forest Allotments)

Image
Project Thicket Lore is another way for the creatures to connect with the various human writers  and scholars who enjoy their company At the moment the Advice Bureau is closed, and it will be another while before another book-project is announced.  Besides, it is good to explore other parts of the Thicket, including the beautiful meadows close to the sea, which is where Forest Allotments can be found. The project has several steps: 1. I advertise a vacant allotment (usually a tree, sometimes a hill or a clearing) Writers let me know the name of a particular creature they'd like to see on a tree . If they can't think of a name, but have a particular mood that they think the creature will help with, that's good too. (Anything, basically except direct attributes. Creatures are not illustrations). Here's one I am looking for interested owners (leaves might appear once it gets a few creatures). UPDATE: Nobody wanted this tree (too bleak perchance?), so I am going t

Protest, Dark Times, and My Book

Image
I am absolutely delighted to share Sylvia Petter's blog entry on Creatures Give Advice  Sylvia Petter is an author of several books and multiple flash stories. She is a regular contributor to the wonderful world which is the Twitter writing community. I was particularly taken by her Ad-Hoc Fiction winning piece, ' I, and My Lovers' . She also regularly tweets about worrying trends in Austrian politics. I was so glad to read what she said about the creatures: ' I must thank a bunch of creatures that unexpectedly kept me sane with just the right dose of crazy [... ]   ' No political movement this. Just a bit of clever and astute craziness in the mad world many of us ignore while others succumb to the siren songs of supremacy and tribalism. Read this entry and browse through the rest of Sylvia's blog. It is worth it.  https://www.sylviapetter.com/2019/05/29/heres-to-roppotuchas-creatures/  I also have to thank her for some new questions for the second c
