Domadomadoma-Blumblumblum: Journeyed and lively, @LukeThompson210's latest book (@OrtacPress) reveals the trap of ventriloquism we often fall into when attempting to converse with other animals, writes Abi Andrews https://t.co/OOAidgjS25

Here's a coral fungus. I'll be off Twitter from a few days' time. I'm on Instagram (luke.a.thompson) and on Facebook. Hope to see folk there.

Which will you choose? This week DomaDomaDoma-BlumBlumBlum is staying in Cornwall, with events in two beautiful independent bookshops in Fowey @shrewbooks and Newquay @ClemoBooks. Tickets available through the bookshop websites. Hope to see some Cornwall friends there.

Puffin exploring ways of communicating with humans and other animals. The crystal ball might make an appearance at this afternoon's @NCornBookFest conversation with @tiffanymurray. 5.30pm St Endellion. Hopefully see some of you there...

[Luke Thompson @LukeThompson210]

Adventures this week include taking Gef the talking mongoose back to the Isle of Man for @manxlitfest and talking with the wonderful @tiffanymurray at @NCornBookFest. Isle of Man tickets available https://t.co/rUfH2kC0uz and North Cornwall tickets https://t.co/kdBO1216wo

[Luke Thompson @LukeThompson210]

Last week I was mostly talking about Gef the Mongoose. This evening I'm with @FoldeDorset at the Grosvenor Arms in Shaftesbury, Dorset and probably going to talk about dolphins, psychedelics and another unusual approach to conversations with other animals.

[Ortac Press @OrtacPress]

@LukeThompson210 will be at @FoldeDorset tomorrow for an evening centred around the strange world of human-animal conversation. Expect pet psychics, medieval banishments, Tolkien and a talking mongoose. It’s going to be fun…

It’s all about our attempts to communicate with animals 🗣️🐶

[Luke Thompson @LukeThompson210]

Right, here's where I'm going to be with my talking animals over the coming weeks. I would LOVE to see you all at one of these.

There's a handful of events in Cornwall and then in Dorset, Yorkshire, Cumbria and the Isle of Man.

[Luke Thompson @LukeThompson210]

After mixed results raising Gef the Mongoose with a Ouija board I visited the Isle of Man. There were some warning signs, like the decomposing Hooded crow and the bridge reading ANGER. I’ll be @manxlitfest talking about https://t.co/HZ1h57G7bH. (Image is from @donyatodd's cover)

[Luke Thompson @LukeThompson210]

‘I am toad-shaped. My arms and legs are crooked. I am amphibian.’ Following neuroscientist John Lilly’s dolphin communication methods, the more time I spent in the tank the quicker I relaxed and the more weirdness occurred. The Order of the Dolphin! https://t.co/HZ1h57G7bH

[Luke Thompson @LukeThompson210]

The Monkey in the Woodshed. My story for the @HermitagePress short story anthology on Cornwall's protected landscapes is up on @BBCSounds here if anyone wants to listen. (I had to edit out a little bit of swearing.) https://t.co/ehcFmm4T2Q
