Mary's titles include my favourite, NEWES FROM THE DEAD, based on an incident at Oxford Prison. She will be much missed by her author friends.

"Her research was always meticulous but her real talent was to make her characters come alive on the page." We mourn the loss of our friend Mary Hooper, author of fiction for children and young adults, in this tribute by @celiarees.bsky.social. reviewsbywriters.blogspot.com/2026/07/reme...

The BBC cancelling Winterwatch is such a bad decision - we need to connect with nature more than ever, and if we want people to care about wildlife, they need encouragement! Please add your name to ask the BBC to reconsider. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr... #Winterwatch #nature #naturalworld

Tell the BBC: Save Winterwatch!

The UK is losing its wildlife, and shows like Winterwatch are vital for connecting us to nature. The BBC's decision to cancel it makes no sense. Let's ask them to rethink this! Add your name here:

If you haven't done so already, please sign this open letter to the prime minister. It's time to consign fox-hunting to the past - there is irrefutable evidence that 'trail' hunting conceals wildlife crime. Please share. you.38degrees.org.uk/p/end-fox-hu... #bloodsport #cruelsport #TrailHuntLies

The time for change is now: end fox hunting

Why isn't Etta Lemon better known for being one of four women who founded the #RSPB? Tessa Boase's engaging biography is an illuminating sweep of social history that gives Etta the acclaim she deserves. reviewsbywriters.blogspot.com/2026/02/etta... @lindanewbery.bsky.social #birds #conservation

My turn @writersreview.bsky.social - I commend ETTA LEMON to anyone interested in birds, conservation, social history, protest, activism or feminism! “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” (Margaret Mead)

Excellent article by our regular contributor Jane Rogers on Fire-ready. Does she shape her material for political purposes? 'I hope I never do. To quote the great short story writer Anton Chekhov: the role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them.' morningstaronline.co.uk/article/what...
