It's weird (and wonderful!) to be saying this, but here it is....I've written a book, and it's coming out in April. The Lost Paths, published by Penguin Michael Joseph, is an exploration and celebration of our ancient path network and a call to reclaim what has been lost.

Writing The Lost Paths, I was drawn again and again to Richard Jefferies' writing, falling back in love with its beauty and clarity. So, it's just wonderful to be one of the four shortlisted authors for the Richard Jefferies award for best nature writing. 🙏@RJefferiesSoc! 💚💚💚
Congratulations to @some_yeo, @cornish_jack , Tom Lathan and Richard Mabey who are finalists for the Richard Jefferies Award for best nature writing published last year. Good luck! @MichaelJBooks @picadorbooks @HarperNorthUK @ProfileBooks
