A new appreciation of life and the natural world - that's everything and more that I hoped my book would give to readers. Makes me very happy 😊

@nicwilson.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 12:24 PM

That's such a lovely thing to read. I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks Beth!

Help me raise funds to offer a FREE place on my upcoming @arvonfoundation.bsky.social course to a writer from an underrepresented community who couldn’t otherwise attend by buying a book bundle generously donated by @ninearchespress.bsky.social & @thebraag.bsky.social! taniahershman.com/shop/

Text reads “Help me raise funds to offer a FREE place on my Jan residential Arvon course to someone who wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend”. Below is a picture of a Nine Arches Press tote bag and shelves with multicoloured books, with the text “Nine Arches Press Mystery 10-book bundle”. Next to it is a picture of a hand holding six pamphlets, the top one with a picture of a women’s face and the title “Offworld” by Kirsten Luckens, next to it an image of an upside alien head. Above all of this is the text “Only available til Oct 31st from my online shop, https://www.taniahershman.com/shop/“ and below is the text “Applications will open for the funded place in November - watch this space!”
