How I picture the drawing room at Alma’s family’e estate, White Acre…
This could well be Alma, in her youth, organizing the library at White Acre. By Edouard John Mentha – Maid Reading in a Library Late 19th – early 20th century

More evidence of great 19th century lady naturalists like Alma. Here is the work of Amelia Griffiths (1768-1858) gifted scholar who corresponded with the foremost algae and seaweed experts of her time. (I LOVE THAT SENTENCE!) Her great companion was Mary Wyatt who kept a pressed plant shop in Torquay. The two ladies co-operated in their collecting and produced two volumes of pressed and named seaweeds found in the neighbourhood of Torbay, called Algae Danmoniensis. Worked into her 80’s.

One of Ernst Haeckel’s biological illustrations. Haeckel was a 19th century naturalist and artist who created beautiful, detailed illustrations of plants, insects and animals…Ambrose’s work is somewhat based on this sort of mastery.

Holy Pinterest, People! Hey everyone, I’m on Pinterest now! I only just started…
Holy Pinterest, People!
Hey everyone, I'm on Pinterest now! I only just started recently, but I'm already kind of addicted to it. It's a crackhouse! I thought Etsy was bad, but this is…DANGEROUS!
So go check out my page, my boards, my pins, my fetishes!
And please make special note of the page called THE SIGNATURE OF ALL THINGS — it's entirely about my new novel, which is coming in October! Don't worry, there are no spoilers about the novel on the page, but there are lots of beautiful images to set your mind wondering about the book, and to begin to place you in the right landscapes and in the right frame of mind to eventually disappear into the story…
My main character, Alma Whittaker, is a botanist with a fascination for mosses, and so I've made a very pretty Pinterest board in celebration of moss, too, in her honor. Check it out!
And also, guess what?
You can already pre-order "The Signature of All Things" on Amazon! Click here:
