Curious what my debut novel THE FOREST ON THE EDGE OF TIME is about?
Here's a handy reader's guide...!
I thought 2025 summaries were bunkum, then social media peer pressure's made me reflect on my year, and actually it's helped me appreciate everything!
Too many highlights for a BlueSky post - suffice to say, massive thanks to all who helped make 2025 such an incredible journey. Here's to 2026! ❤️
Can't wait to read the latest short story from my agency sib @arthurmanners.bsky.social - and in one of my favourite sci-fi columns @futurenatures.bsky.social! ✨
