The Swansea University Dylan Thomas Prize.nominated author shares favoured reads. The Green Kingdom from the Childcraft collection, a book primarily about flora, taught me not only to read but also developed my interest in words. Corolla, adventitious, deciduous, epiphytic. All so beautiful and specific and underused outside of context. Join the Belfast Telegraph WhatsApp channel Stay up to date with some of Northern Ireland's biggest stories

The first thing I killed with intention was a house gecko. I was four years old then. I had trapped it in a plastic bowl and I’m not sure how to explain the way I had killed it except to describe how cats sometimes kill their prey —I played with it to death. I hadn’t beheld death before but as soon as its jaw slackened, I knew it had passed. I presented the dead gecko to my disappointed mother. “That is a sin you do there, killing that thing for no reason,” was all she said.

That’s right. If you can fit it in, get it in. I LOVE cooking a full roast chicken in my air fryer because not only does the high-speed air circulation create the crispiest skin going but it also locks in moisture to ensure you’re left with a succulent and tender bird to tuck into. Aside from the unrivalled taste, you also save valuable oven space.

Like most of the books I’ve worked on the idea really started to shine when a few pieces of comet whooshing inspiration came together. I wanted to explore the brain-fizzing fact that we are, right here, right now, on a planet called Earth, spinning through the Milky Way. Wow! And that with our feet firmly on the ground we can learn all we can about space - just like astronauts.

Firstly, you’ll need to halve the tubes and draw a really simple hull for your boat on one of the pieces, so it’s good to have some reference photos to look at. Then cut it out, and tape extra bits of card on if you want to make the design more elaborate. When you are happy with the shape attach the bottom edge of it onto your background, leave the top part open for now. Save any leftover pieces of tube.
