A big hi to my new followers! This is where I post my writing: www.tom-cox.com Some of it's free but for a min of £2 per month (or £20 per year) you get everything new I post in your inbox/access to a huge archive. All support is hugely appreciated & helps me carry on doing better, weirder work.

It's impossible to see this and not be reminded of this incredible house I visited a couple of years back, which was LITERALLY held together in places by books, and became the inspiration for a house in Everything Will Swallow You: www.tom-cox.com/the-house-he...

Totnes,make a Dart for it and thoroughly enjoy yourself, you can even 'Conker' some awesome footwear

this is tomorrow! If you will be in the Twin Cities would love to see you there. tmora.org/event/an-eve... #minneapolis #booksky #tiger

review of my tiger book by @adamweymouth.bsky.social in New Scientist! "Slaght...is a wonderful guide, his descriptions of this unique landscape bristling with detail & feeling. As I read, I ached to be there, where cliffs forested with Korean pine and oak meet the ocean." shorturl.at/uY3Yk

In case anyone in the UK would like to buy one of these direct from me & Jim (signed & personalised, of course) with a beautiful free bookmark or postcard featuring the art of my mum, Jo, please drop me an email at [email protected] with your address. Extract here: www.tom-cox.com/the-reason-y...

@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social If only I'd known I could have ordered this fantastic book through you and not ordered it in a high street store I might have been lucky enough to get an awesome book mark. Lesson learned, at least I've got the book. Have a great day. Chris

... As those who've read my latest 7 books will know, my mum has contributed linoprints to all of them. For example this jackdaw, which was featured in 21st-Century Yokel. She's worked really hard at it since retiring from her job as a primary school teacher & become progressively more skilled...

I was on BBC Radio 4's A Good Read earlier this week, discussing one of my favourite books. You can listen here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Never seen the Clifton Suspension Bridge looking more like a ghost.

Probably the best photograph I’ve ever taken of some ducks.

Of course, the actual rule is that you have to read the piece in the link, as well as share it. "But how will you know?" you might ask. *pulls mysterious face*. I just will.

Blatant pleading - I've always loved this hare!!! The Magic Room is a brilliant piece of writing about those of us who finally get to devote so much more time to their art (I'd say to any beloved things) when they're a bit older. I really get it.

More of my mum’s art

I have two - TWO - of these gorgeous original A4 meadow hare linoprints by my mum, Jo, to give away to a couple of lucky people here on Bluesky today. Rules are simple: to be in with a chance to win, you just have to repost this piece I wrote about Jo and her art: www.tom-cox.com/the-magic-ro...
