Visual story telling. Part of Grayson Perry's magnificent series of tapestries at Pitzhanger Gallery, The Vanity of Small Differences. A modern take on the Rake's Progress and social class in UK ❤

I'm still WIP with my back-stage historical novel, Dance of the Earth. At Opera House last night, loved these used ballet shoes decorated by back-stage craftspeople showcasing their work. #ballet #HistoricalFiction

A lovely cedar wax wing as my screensaver. Patrick McDonald, who is behind QueryTracker is a keen nature photographer. Each weekly update includes a photo.

Yesterday I experienced the thrill of an orchestra playing the visceral music, Rite of Spring. In my next newsletter I'll be writing about it's influence on my current historical novel.

What are the influences on my character, Rose? Prepping slides for my guest slot with InterNations later this month talking about research for fiction. #historicalfiction

So, the ancient bog body find in Northern Ireland looks to be an Iron Age sacrifice. My story starts in the same way, then... annamholmes.com/the-find #archaeology #bogbody #books

Delighted to be partnering with The Book Guild to bring my historical novel - dance at its the heart - into the world. (This is the title but not the cover) #historicalfiction #ballet #balletsrusses

Imagining my character, Nina. Influenced by free-spirited Isadora Duncan, and the untameable Firebird. I think she might look like this elegant young woman from a 1918 portrait. DANCE OF THE EARTH, historical fiction, is out later this year. #historicalfiction #balletsrusses
