The foxes in my neighbourhood are getting more and more bolshy. Or perhaps the Old Ones have a message for me?!

The heather is such a vibrant magenta in Cornwall at the moment. Loving all my (albeit sweaty) walks along the coast path.

On this last day of a very tough year, I got the very hard news that my mom has been admitted to hospital with Covid. It’s even harder because she lives in Arizona and I am unable to leave England to be with her. I’m generally not comfortable with sharing personal difficulties but I wanted to end this year with a passage from T.H. White’s THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING that my mother had framed and put on the wall of my childhood bedroom.

This is the advice that Merlin gives a young King Arthur. It’s always given me comfort and I am turning to it again now.
•
“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”

Please stay home this New Year’s Eve. Wear a mask. Save lives. Wishing you and your family a safe and healthy start to 2021.

BRIGHT RAVEN SKIES came out on Tuesday––have you started reading yet? For this final Friday of my launch month, I’m at Stonehenge talking a little about how stone circles and healing stones influenced the magic system in the #sweetblackwaves trilogy.
👑
These standing stones were first erected between 3000 BCE and 2000 BCE. In the 12th century, Geoffrey of Monmouth claimed that the monument was constructed by none other than the wizard Merlin. He purported that giants had brought the stones from Africa to Ireland because of their healing properties. While it’s doubtful giants were involved (!), the bluestones did travel to Salisbury Plain from Wales and there is much folklore associating them with healing.
🦊
The taller sarsen stones might have marked where ancestors were buried or even represented the ancestors themselves. Cremated human bones have been found at Stonehenge and archaeologists have suggested that the best way to view the henge is as a sort of prehistoric cathedral––a place where people could commune with the dead and pray for healing.
