THE FISHER GIRL

‘The hedgerow at Darkwood holds a secret: a land of magic, and somewhere to escape to when life in our world becomes too much.

George Fisher knew it, as did his father before him. Something of a family tradition, you might say.

But when young Marie Fisher once again crawls through the hidden gate at the bottom of her garden, she learns the harsh truth that some fairy stories are not meant for children, and things in her beloved Diamond have changed.’

What readers say:

‘Awesome, escapist stuff, beautifully written. Masterful.’

‘Amazing world-building. Beautiful and terrifying all at once.’

‘Doesn’t disappoint. Recommended for adult fans of fairy tales.’

THE BALLOON HUNTER

The original graphic novella, co-written by Elinor Taylor and Hugh Howey, best-selling author of Wool (recently adapted as Silo on Apple TV+), Sand, and Beacon 23. Blowing minds around the globe since 2023!

‘Shoot anything you don’t understand. That’s been my motto, and it’s kept me alive.
So when I saw something drifting above the fog, I lined it up in my sights and took it out.
Only realized after that it was a balloon. With a note attached.
Rita. Who are you? Where are you?
Hang tight. I’m coming.’

THE SMALLEST OF SPARKS

The Smallest of Sparks is a collection of very short stories and poems which invites you to another place, another time, every page a chance to explore someone else’s bubble for a brief moment. ‘Come in,’ it says, ‘look around. Watch from your place of safety, if you must. Just don’t stay too long.’

Each story started out as a single tweet, using a word or image prompt. The constraints of Twitter see to it that such microfictions are concentrated down to their very essence, (no room for sprawling epics when you have a mere 280 characters to play with).

So whether you’re in the market for a quick dip or a deep dive, read this book in whatever way suits your mood. Just know: a story may be only a handful of sentences, but worlds can be built and destroyed in less.

THE SMALLEST OF SPARKS – VOLUME TWO

The second in the Smallest of Sparks series, a collection of microfiction and poetry. If you enjoyed the first book in the series, then you’ll love this second volume of dark and twisty tales.
