Hello Strangers!


I've been meaning to update this blog and then I was in Goa with Ben for a month, which WAS wonderful thanks, and it's about to get busy with book launches... So, soon, dears!

Here's a photo I took on my travels. It was a slightly early celebration of our five year wedding anniversary – where does the time go? – and a more-than-slightly-late celebration of Ben's big birthday, so pretty rotten luck that he broke his ribs while we were there, he's been x-rayed and is healing well now though.

and we saw lots of magical things... 

I hope you are well, sending sparkle,

[Update: I have now filled in some gaps!]

Here are three of our favourite snippets: ‘Lloyd Markham’s first full-length novel Fox Bites , set in early-2000s Zimbabwe, takes a similar tack, colliding social upheaval – as viewed through the sometimes-uncomprehending eyes of a young, neurodivergent boy – with smaller, more personal disruptions. The young protagonist, Taban, suffers bullying and isolation among his peers after his family splits apart: his aunt, uncle, and beloved cousin Caleb moving away to a farm which will later be seized during land reforms.’ ‘Taban must resist the temptation to become part of a cycle of abuse, thereby becoming a conduit for the destruction of his world. Although the stakes of the book eventually become world-threatening in the expected way of science fiction...
