Environmental Novel and project
"In wilderness lies the preservation of the Earth" so says Henry David Thoreau. It's true and most of us claim to love Nature and want to preserve the rainforests, save endangered animals and so on but there's a problem - it's this...
Climate change – ecological disaster – SO WHAT? Do you switch off when it’s in the news and think, “I’ve heard all this before?” Do you shy away from the facts and the talk about the problems and what we should do?
Well, we’re different – very different! Okay yes we do care about the world we live in but we understand how you feel! We’re not here to tell you how bad things might get and what we need to do – NOT US.
Something Strange! We just want to tell you about something strange and leave you to make up your own mind. Let’s face it – most of us are interested in the unexplained: crop circles, ghosts, premonitions, time travel – that kind of thing.
What began as a hobby has grown into something unexpected – a mystery that we invite you to explore. Put simply a while back we found a diary from about 200 years ago by Charles Lamb (he was a romantic poet) which appears to warn us of the need to change our ways. We decided to write about the strange events leading to its discovery and share this with the world.
“Nothing mysterious about that’ you might say. Okay – get this – the events told in the diary and by us are being mirrored in the real world! It’s really true! You’re sceptical? Make of it what you will but we believe that something (Mother Nature, the Earth spirit, God or an ‘out-of-this world’ force) is playing with our minds.
Imagine: Our Earth is enchanted - our promotional video explains further.
“Where’s your evidence?” It’s in our novel ‘The Haymakers Survey’ and recorded in our remarkable ‘Watch’ of world events. Take a look at the free online sample and the Watch. The work is deliberately independent - we write for pleasure and as artists relish the freedom from corporate influence. You can buy the book – at no profit to us. An E-version will also be available soon. Any money we make goes to conservation.
Is that it? We’ve also a free online survey for you – it’s the questions posed in the diary we found. They’re a bit odd – not what you might expect. But this whole thing is weird; creepy even! There’s a special prize for everyone who completes the survey!
You can find out about the cool famous people in Charles Lamb’s diary – the Blakesware Set – and take a look at some of the places where everything happened.
We said earlier that we care about our world. It’s why we keep a list of websites of organisations linked to the story. We call this the Directory . We also have a fun page.
