It’s turned out to be hard to keep much other work going while working on the next book (the forests book, that is), and as for earning a living – well, they say that writing books is no way to make money and boy were they right. It’s a good way to stop making money, for sure: my income’s gone steadily down ever since I started writing Forgotten Fruits, and it’s now pretty much reached zero.
But in the meantime the (very) occasional thing comes along, and one of these, thanks to Nathalie Grainger and the inimitable Roja Dove, was being invited to write a chapter for Quintessentially Perfume, a new book on perfume and the perfume industry. Next up: how about a weekly perfume column? I’m waiting for your call…
