Speculative fiction

Novels

I have three novels in progress:

The Ghost Who Was Scared of the Dark (working title)

A vampire suffering from ‘bad blood’. A werewolf who’s only sane at the time of the full moon. And a powerful fae who’s gone bad… It’s up to a nocturnally challenged ghost and a surprisingly articulate zombie to solve the mystery of the strange plague that’s afflicting the supernatural world – and to do so, they must confront demons both real and metaphorical.

The Summer of Witches (working title)

A prequel to the above, featuring teenage witch Bex as she comes into her powers and helps to unleash some terrible forces…

East of the Litterbox, West of the Moon (working title)

If cats were gods… (They are, you know.)

Short fiction challenge
Pieces I wrote for my MA, to practise writing in a particular style or genre. As these are not fully formed, they don’t have titles as such, but I hope the descriptions below give you a hint of what to expect.
