I’m delighted that the latest song from the Duo Ex Machina Song Project is now live and online! Copper Beaches is a song about acknowledging how big and uncaring the universe is – and also how beautiful it is, and how we care for it, and love each other, despite loss and pain. It’s a…

Flash Fiction: The Harp’s Voice
I had to skip last week’s #FlashFictionFriday due to being too busy! But I’m back today with a new story set in the Kitty and Cadaver universe!

I grew up influenced by musicals, and that may be why I now write so many stories with music in them. As a child I learned piano and though that fell by the wayside – partly because my family kept moving house and moving the cheap old piano along with us was a bit of…

While so many of us are practising social isolation and avoiding non-essential travel, it might be a good time to catch up on our reading. At the same time, a lot of us are at risk of losing incomes, so if you don’t already have a stupidly large book stash like me, you don’t necessarily…

Kitty and Cadaver is being launched this weekend at Continuum – and here I’d like you all to see the gorgeous cover designed by Willsin Rowe (who has done so many fantastic covers for me!) If you’re unable to attend Continuum for the launch, never fear – I’ll be holding a public launch in July…

At the beginning of May, my Patreon reached its first goal of $100 a month! That means that, as soon as I’ve finished writing the last few stories, getting them edited and getting it all formatted, all my supporters will be getting a free short story collection from me! (The rest of the world will…
