This was my prologue

Almost a quarter of the twenty first century had passed, when life in the British Isles changed dramatically. The horror that they had pretended couldn’t happen, did. As the smoke drifted for days, weather vanes took on a new and grim significance and the life style of the humble snail became surprisingly important.

What hadn’t changed was the courage and resilience of the people. No one dwelt on the disaster. In the years that followed, it became a convention for them to say “Before it happened” or “After it happened.” The future was there to be protected and this time the teenagers weren’t leaving it to the adults.

Where Love is.

Hi, my name is June and I have written a book called Where The Fox Goes.  It's Christian  fiction, but it isn't a genre book.  My characters aren't all in happy marriages, for one couple it's a happy second relationship. This is about people where they are, not how things necessarily are, in an ideal world. It's a story about animals in a landscape and people in the same area, it goes backwards and forwards in time.
This landscape has been protected during the enclosures, and now it's under threat from developers. Whereas my first book is in print and has been bought by bookshops, this one is being sent out cheaply as as an audio book and pdf ebook. It has the hymn "Who would true valour see" in it.  The people need to protect their wastelands, the area of beauty and woodland they love to visit,  and maybe if they talk to each other and care, they can achieve more than they had hoped for.  It was written about an earlier time of recession, but it is a book for today.
If  you have a wood or a forest you care about, Sunday 20th March is world forest day. In Britain there will be demonstrations throughout the country organised by Save Our Forests campaign and people will be visiting their local forests and woods to make their position clear.  We are not out of the woods yet, the threat to our woodlands and forests is still there.  Frank Dobson M.P. in a letter to me, strongly urged attending a local event and making your voice heard.
