Storytime under the moonlit baobab tree as in african folklore as well as alien-like creatures in the background showing a nice mix of african tales and space adventure — Storyplanet by Joanna Monigatti

Hello friends,

Today's newsletter is simply to update you on the new look of the newsletters that will follow in the next weeks. I have been doing some 'tidying up' on the site and am excited to share the new look with you.

Many of you will be familiar with my sci-fi thriller 'Attack on Planet Falrus' but may not know about my love of african folklore. Well, here's to lots of content on both genres.

What do you think? Does this image combine african storytelling with a sense of space/sci-fi? Do let me know! I am curious what you think about it.

And have I got news for you! :)

I have a thrilling sci-fi Space Odyssey book to recommend to you this mid-October. Do go and check it out. It is Richard Rimington's 'The Survivors'. The plot is similar to my own book 'Attack on Planet Falrus' where a powerful enemy wants to come in and destroy the hitherto peaceful nature of the planet. Will peace reign supreme in the end? Find out by clicking the link below, to Richard's 'The Survivors'!

I do hope you enjoy what you see there, and I look forward to many years of entertaining you with my stories and books from both genres.

And oh, if you like fantasy books, not necessarily based in Space, but if urban fantasy is more your thing, then look no further than Winter Branford's books. And you know the best part? She is offering a free book to anyone that subscribes to her newsletter. Don't let this generous offer pass you by! Go subscribe by clicking below:

Why Your Fingers Wrinkle in Water — It’s Not What You Think

Dear health-conscious friends, You’ve probably noticed it after a long bath, a swim, or even an enthusiastic session washing the dishes. Your fingertips start off smooth. Then, after several minutes in water, they become covered in deep little ridges and wrinkles. For years, the usual explanation was simple: your skin absorbs water, swells up, and wrinkles. It sounds perfectly reasonable. But it’s not the real explanation. Your nervous system is doing it on purpose The wrinkling of your...

Why You Sometimes Hear Your Heartbeat in Your Ear

Dear health-conscious friends, That rhythmic whoosh in your ear may actually be the sound of your own blood flowing. Here’s when it’s harmless — and when it deserves a check.
