So, there are novels coming, two of them, telling an epic story of a princess and her maid faced with a brutal, inescapable future. Their journey, though, into another reality of unbelievable, technological magics helps them to know that ‘The Appearance of Terrible Things’ is never what it seems.
But, that is a story for another time…
Coming sooner than that is ‘a peaceful transfer of power and other tales,’ a collection of short stories and poems to warm your cockles, to sometimes horrify you in detail and concept, to make you think, maybe even to bring understanding of people, creatures, and beings who are different than you.
These stories don’t represent a single universe, wandering here and there, on this planet, in this time, but also beyond both of those. They exist separately from each other, told in different voices, from different lives, different lands and times, but they all have something to say about our own human-ness, about our involvement with nature, about the environments and communities which we call home.
Whether it is a small girl who carries an orchard on her back, an old spider-woman gifted her dream train-ride by her local barista, or a world beset by horrible little creatures feeding upon a cultivated population, everyone can find a bit of themselves within the pages, along with a bit of understanding for those who seem so alien, sometimes literally.
‘a peaceful transfer of power’ launches March 2026 but watch this space for the upcoming COVER REVEAL and for information about how you can order your pre-launch copy ahead of the release.
