"The way that we talk about history - be it our own personal history or something on a grander scale - says a lot more about who we are, what our morals and values and agendas are, than anything that actually happened in the past." Last month I got to chat with Lucy Nathan over at BookBrunch about my debut novel SARGASSA, worldbuilding, the road to traditional publication, and why straightness might be a cult.

“We humans have spent millions of years evolving to live in a world that no longer exists. Our bodies and brains were shaped by a very different environment than the one we inhabit today.” Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein's "Hunter Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century" is a fascinating blend of evolutionary biology, practical advice, and social commentary, which explores tensions between our evolutionary history and modern anguish. This accessible book is structured into four parts, with each section tackling a distinct aspect of human existence. From understanding ourselves to rethinking society, Heying and Weinstein offer practical advice that is both insightful and thought-provoking. It’s highly recommended for anyone who’s seeking a new and real perspective on the intricacies of modern life. #bookreview #evolution #modernlife

Absolutely! Using powerfully evocative language and vivid imagery can greatly enhance the impact of one's findings, making them more engaging and memorable for those who are truly willing to listen and learn. This approach greatly helps to convey not only the factual information but also the mental-emotional, spiritual and sensory experiences associated with the discovery, fostering a much deeper connection, relation and appreciation. By appealing to the senses and mental-emotional and spiritual states, the language becomes much more dynamic and resonant, transforming a straightforward presentation of facts into a compelling, graphic, lovely narrative. The work of Dr Alan Rayner PhD (born 1950), biologist, evolutionary ecologist, educator, writer and artist, particularly his concept of natural inclusionality, a holistic, scientific, philosophical, and spiritual approach to sustainability, is the very embodiment of such a language.
