Our Precious Earth
Ash lives in a peaceful village in West Sussex with her partner, Jay and twelve-year-old daughter, Tierre. A naturalist, not a natural leader; when plans for a new bypass are announced, threatening homes and an ancient oak tree, she is compelled to act. During a heatwave, against a backdrop of rising temperatures, she gathers allies, including Hazel, the local vicar and Dora, a young dancer, to help stop the destruction.
How far will she go to save her beloved oak?

ABOUT
I trained as a visual artist, making wall-hangings, abstract paintings and also creating banners and murals. After working on a memoir about my life as an artist I began writing fiction. I have an MA in Creative Writing from City University, 2011. I recently completed a mentoring scheme with The Literary Consultancy during which I wrote my novel, ‘A Scattering’. My letter, ‘The Hawthorn Tree’, is published in the anthology, Letters to the Earth, pub: Harper Collins in October 2019. My poem Crackley Woods was performed by Alison Steadman, to mark Earth Day, April 2020. I live in Worthing where I write, make art and am a climate activist.
My new novel ‘Our Precious Earth’ is now published.
