Listen to readings from our #WW1 project on today's BBC Suffolk breakfast show (starts at 1h53m): bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0… Gorgeous atmospherics thanks to Jon Wright 👏 Less than 5 hours left to pre-order the book at kck.st/2plbHEL

Thrilled to support turnedredearth ! A gorgeous book project! These days a book has got to be a special object to warrant the requisite inches of shelf space, and I know this will not disappoint!

Our Kickstarter closes 5pm. Overwhelmed with gratitude for all the support so far 🙏. There's still just time to get your pledge in and make sure you get one of the first 200 hand-numbered copies of this ltd edition artist's book kickstarter.com/projects/79212…

So excited for turnedredearth and Eleanor Skan for making their kickstarter goal +20% to make Turned Red Earth happen!! Thank you to SPILL Festival & @[email protected] & everyone who pledged their support and helped in so many ways.

THANK YOU to every one of of the 146 people who backed the Kickstarter and helped to transform this labour of love into a tangible object. We're beyond thrilled to have raised £6350 in 30 days. Wow.

Today our bookbinders are hard at work stitching 500 spines with a line of red thread. If you missed out on the Kickstarter last week, don't worry: we're now taking orders for the remaining copies and beautiful wildflower prints at turnedredearth.com

Look what just arrived - sooooo many postcards! Half for Kickstarter backers, half for SPILL Festival visitors. Anyone know where I can get some fulfillment elves/trained sorting monkeys?

Lucy's on the sofa with Lesley Dolphin this afternoon on BBC Suffolk between 3 and 4pm. Looking forward to chatting about our #WW1 poetry/art project, making a living as a writer, and the challenge of juggling books and babies (not literally, though that sounds hard too).

Thanks Lesley Dolphin for a strangely soothing hour on the famous BBC Suffolk sofa this afternoon! A total pleasure to talk to you.

Lest we forget: a collective act of mass human sacrifice that left deep scars on the people & landscapes of Europe, trauma still reverberating down the generations. Still, what’s the worst that can happen when our leaders say it can’t be stopped?

Just emerged from a hour of negotiation with Sonia at the village post office. Call it an honourable draw. The books and box sets are in the post, prints and seeds follow shortly. Off to buy a box of chocolates for Sonia. Or perhaps she wants a ltd edition poetry book about WW1?

Thanks to our Kickstarter backers, poppy seeds I collected from Essex fields are heading to: Alberta, Canada; NY, PA and WI, USA; Berlin, Dublin, Dorset, Hampshire, Herts, Kent, London, Leicestershire, Suffolk and Surrey. Hope they thrive in their new homes.

We're supporting Combat Stress, the veterans' mental health charity - helping to repair shattered lives for 100 years. So far we've donated 50p for every book sold. You can buy your copy at etsy.com/uk/shop/Turned… or support the charity directly here: combatstress.org.uk/armistice-appe…
