Seconds out! Round one! THE DEVIL'S DANCE FLOOR This isn't an official announcement from Duckworth. It's a page from my agent's newsletter and book fair rights catalogue, which is public. So, a tiny-text soft launch? Details subject to change. A lot of thank yous and less Disney, to come. š»š„šš¾šš»š¦šŗ

Was on BBC Cambridgeshire this lunchtime, talking to Chris Mann about my new book, Further. Chris is a great interviewer, and had actually read the book, so a really enjoyable chat... from 2'12" in. Observe my mastery of the promo pic.

Ten years ago I wrote a book called Faster, about going faster. To celebrate, I've written a book called Further, about going further. It's about the why and the how of ultra races and other very long bike rides.

Recording the audiobook for "Further" in an over-heated cupboard full of foam in North London. An oddly intense experience. Some say it reconnects you with the ancient oral traditions of story telling. Some say it just teaches you not to use words you don't know how to pronounce.

Very happy that Darwin Comes to Town has come out in a Turkish edition with Avantür. This is a big deal as Türkiye has, together with the US, one of world's lowest rates of public acceptance of evolution, and is a global source of creationism.

Urban biodiversity hotspots are not always where you expect them. The facade of Igreja da CandelƔria in Rio de Janeiro is home to a microbial film of 100,000 extremophilic microbes. More about such unseen urban biodiversity in my book The Urban Naturalist! (See:
