I’ve been out all day with very no internet, finally back home to decent WiFi so I am thrilled to post that Mammoth Rider is featured in
@thebookseller.com
magazine ‘10 Titles Not to Miss in March - Children’s Previews’ !
With some cracking company too!

Mammoth Rider is a breathtaking adventure full of warmth and courage. S J Poyton brings the beauty and the danger of the icy tundra to life in this tightly plotted story. Perfect for fans of Hannah Gold.
Thanks so much for the proof copy Sally Poyton.

So I’m writing a pretty complicated action scene with lots of moving parts and an emotional bit inspired by a traumatic childhood scene in one of favourite all time films. #writerywednesday #amwriting #mammoths #neverendingstory

Archaeological Fiction and a Scientist's Dilemma
An archaeologist reflects on the role of fiction to imagine the deep past—and inspire future generations of archaeologists.
This a fascinating debate about fictionalised history weighing up its impact of whether its blending of factual and imagined elements is decremental to truth or a positive inspirational and learning tool…

Baby Holly the mammoth calf I painted, at the @thehillsgroup.bsky.social Cerney Wick #paleontology dig.
The #tuskforce team took the duties of mammoth husbandry seriously & sheltered her from the elements.
She’s now been rehomed and is living happily with her adopted herd in Dorset.

Today’s #MammothMonday is a celebration of a very recently unearthed mammoth calf’s tooth for the Hills Quarry Products Cerney Wick site by the #tuskforce team last week.
It’s beautiful but it also looks like a mammoth calf!
