The poetry and stories in section 1 are from Families published separately in conjunction with Writershed, the Women Writers Workshop, a group Kay founded in 2011, now on Amazon and Kindle. The other stories are a selection from new projects Kay is working on. The Spinster is an extract from her biography of her mothers life. The Snowchild is an extract from her childrens book Joshuas Globe. Kay hopes to complete these projects in the near future as well as help the Writershed group to put together their second book. The best seller is still a long way in the future, and Kay has no illusions about how tough it is to get started as a writer. But one word of advice she can give to all those budding writers out there is to write every day and make writing part of your life as that book inside you will never happen just talking about it.
This volume presents key contributions to the study of ecocriticism in Nordic children’s and YA literary and cultural texts, in dialogue with international classics. It investigates the extent to which texts for children and young adults reflect current environmental concerns. The chapters are grouped into five thematic areas: Ethics and Aesthetics, Landscape, Vegetal, Animal, and Human, and together they explore Nordic representations and a Nordic conception, or feeling, of nature. The textual analyses are complemented with the lived experiences of outdoor learning practices in preschools and schools captured through children’s own statements. The volume highlights the growing influence of posthumanist theory and the continuing traces of anthropocentric concerns within contemporary children’s literature and culture, and a non-dualistic understanding of nature-culture interaction is reflected in the conceptual tool of the volume: The Nature in Culture Matrix.

After his father retires, Vere Idowu returns to Wychwood Cross to take over the family greengrocers. As Christmas looms, he divides his time between running the shop, attending rehearsals for the choral society production of Messiah, and continuing the family tradition of leaving a welcome basket of seasonal fruit and veg on the doorstep. Struggling with writer' s block, author Robyn Yardley moves to the country just before Christmas to finish the book she started over a year ago. The last thing on her mind is socializing, much less romance, but the local choral society needs sopranos for the Christmas concert. And the cute greengrocer did invite her to try out. Finding a friend in Vere lifts Robyn's spirits. Singing lifts her soul. And thankfully, she' s finally making headway on the book. That' s until the past and present collide, and everything changes.
Pippi Longstocking meets Heidi meets Anne Shirley in this tale of an irrepressible girl in a mountain village who navigates unexpected changes with warmth and humor. Speed and self-confidence, that’s Astrid’s motto. Nicknamed “the little thunderbolt,” she loves to spend her days racing down the hillside on her sled, singing loudly as she goes, and visiting Gunnvald, her grumpy, septuagenarian best friend and godfather, who makes hot chocolate from real chocolate bars. She just wishes there were other children to share her hair-raising adventures with. But Astrid’s world is about to be turned upside down by two startling arrivals to the village of Glimmerdal: first a new family, then a mysterious, towering woman who everyone seems to know but Astrid. It turns out that Gunnvald has been keeping a big secret from his goddaughter, one that will test their friendship to its limits. Astrid is not too happy about some of these upheavals in Glimmerdal — but, luckily, she has a plan to set things right.
