#Agroforestry is a land management practice that integrates trees with crops and/or livestock to create a more diverse and sustainable food system.
This approach provides multiple benefits, such as increased biodiversity, reduced soil erosion, water conservation, and multiple harvestable crops.

In the current times we live in, I firmly believe stories about kindness and hope are exactly what we need.

The Mermaid's Wrath, book one in the Eco romantasy series by Andie Holman. In the center, there's a mermaid swimming for the surface. Clockwise: Top right, an evil Fae with pointed ears and fangs. Below him is a turtle caught in a net. Then a calm reef with orange fish, followed by a laughing dolphin. Top left is an orca leaping from the sea with an orange sky in the background.
The Mermaid's Wrath by Andie Holman. A contemporary environmental fantasy, but I'm calling it eco-romantasy now. Book on in The Laughter of the Sun series. There's a turquoise yin yang in the center, made from mermaid tails, and int he center of each section there's a sun and a new moon. This is set on a background of waves and ocean currents.
Jelly the mermaid is determined to save the ocean, and as a warrior, she's not afraid to fight. She and her best friend surface to work with the magical people up top, uncovering a secret Fae plot to exterminate humanity and dominate the world once more. #Hopepit #Hopepunk books2read.com/u/4A06wq

An image of a book in front of a landscape of misty hills. The words Coming November 11th in orange at the top. The cover of the book is dark with the word "HOPE" in white letters. The O is replaced by a futuristic portal within which appears an image of a rustic house on a field of yellow grass. The words "A novel of the new frontier" appear in small letters at the very top, and the author's name, B.R.M. Evett, appears in blue letters under the title.
My book is literally called HOPE! It comes out Nov. 11. The post-American continent is beginning to rebuild after the Collapse, the First Nations are leading the way, and a ragtag group joins together to build a home and family on the New Frontier.
