Great to see After the Clearances featured in this @turnarounduk.bsky.social round-up of climate fiction to watch out for.

I love the Writers Review blog, so it's been an honour to share some of the ideas behind my new novel with @lindanewbery.bsky.social on the site this week.

My daughter Trina and I spent a couple of lovely days roaming Ynys Enlli/Bardsey, filming the video for After the Clearances. And now, a week before publication, here it is! Enjoy! youtu.be/2y2NMDZEh-8?... @honnopress.bsky.social linktr.ee/AlisonLayland #books #trailer #booksky #islandlife

'We can choose to write contemporary fiction with no acknowledgement of the crisis going on outside our windows; but it will look as strange to readers in a hundred years’ time as a novel set in 1930s Germany would look if it made no mention of the war.'

📖 HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY to Martine Bailey @MartineBailey with ‘Isolation Ward’! #mystery #crime writer #booksky

Tripfiction is a site that matches books to locations - I've often used it to find inspiration for holiday reading. Today I'm delighted to see my article on Yorkshire, location of Isolation Ward, taking in Hebden Bridge, Menston Asylum, the empty moors, and more.

Welcome to Gwyl Crime Cymru Festival 2025! Only ten weeks then we'll be back in Aberystwyth with lots of lovely book loving readers and writers. Tickets go on sale on March 1, 2025, because it's St David's Day and we are proud of being Welsh. Do drop in if you can.

I was fortunate to read an early copy of @martinebailey.bsky.social 's sinister and gripping Isolation Ward - love the cover, which conveys the atmosphere brilliantly!

I've just finished the wonderful The Wager and the Bear. Congratulations and thanks - I hope it reaches the wide audience it deserves and finds a rising tide of appreciation. 📚🌊

We welcome Alison Layland, who praises Tom Bullough's SARN HELEN, Welsh Book of the Year 2024. "What a journey he takes us on! A cry from the heart.https://reviewsbywriters.blogspot.com/2025/02/guest-review-by-alison-layland-sarn.html @ecoworrier.bsky.social @grantabooks.bsky.social #climatecrisis

Nothing like a walk along a windy cliff for sorting out a plot dilemma.

"Prepare to be provoked" This July we'll be launching After the Clearances, a bold cli-fi tale of loyalty, revenge and survival. Set in 2056 on a remote Welsh island, Alison Layland's new novel presents an all too possible dystopic future and a community with dark secrets.

Climate fiction is a growing genre, and it no longer has to be speculative; the future's here. These two novels were published just before the pandemic but still feel really up-to-the-minute. They are also gripping reads. Recommended. #climate #fiction #BookSky
