It is publication day! I put my heart, soul and SO MUCH time into writing Nature's Ghosts.

It is a book about nature: about the rich & magical landscapes of the past, which humans destroyed, but which we can try to rebuild.

I hope it makes a difference.

Lots of reporting – by lots of journalists, in lots of papers – about false widows this morning. All based on quote by 'top arachnologist Dr Tom Elwood'.

Except Dr Tom Elwood does not exist.

The story is not flagged as AI – though I assume that is what it is.

The @inkcapjournal digest has been on a bit of a break, thanks to the arrival of baby William at the end of January. Back very soon!

Really sorry to have to pull out of this lovely event with @WildIntrigue this evening, which I was so looking forward to. Once again, I am sick; winter + toddler + late-pregnancy seem to be an unfortunate combination for catching bugs. Hopefully, we will rearrange for next year.
