More evidence, if you needed it, that folklore fantasy books are rising in popularity. Happy to add more to my list for future reading, after mine came out last month. 🖤🌊 Check ‘em out. ⬇️

LANGUAGE OF KERNOW Language is a very important part of Dissonance of Bird Song, and as I’m writing in a nature-infused Cornwall all the characters have names that connect them to the nature. Here's some examples below, adapted a bit where needed. #cornwall #BookologyThursday

Happy Friday the 13th! Ignore the superstitions, Welsh folklore tells us that black cats are amazing and not unlucky: "It is very fortunate to have a thoroughly black cat on the premises." (Folklore of Wales, 1909) #FridayThe13th #Friday13th #Caturday

Come and join me on Instagram, where I’m doing a bit of a visual rebrand with birds and dried plants. I’m starting to do some videos there about writing process, and folkloric inspiration. Find me here: instagram.com/abeaumontwrite… #Bookstagram #fantasybooks

I’m struggling for various reasons this week. That means it’s magical hedgehog time again. 🦔❤️ Stay happy, folks.

Thank you to YOU. Yes you. You’ve all helped make the first month of Dissonance of Bird Song feel like a whirlwind of fun and hype for Eseld’s folkloric mystery of the fog-breathing birds. I couldn’t have done it without your support, reviews and encouragement. 😊 #fantasybooks
