Take a chance on one of my otherworldly novels about people who risk everything for the sake of friendship, trust, & love. You also get heaps of humor, whimsy, sarcasm, & optimism. Sometimes gritty, never grim.

autumn in winter
summer in spring
winter in summer
spring in abeyance

the planet is in turmoil
and there's no escape
no hope remains
but the hope that remains

Take a chance on Rough Passages, my mosaic novel about people who get superpowers when they hit their 40's and risk everything for the sake of friendship, trust, & love. There's also heaps of humor, whimsy, sarcasm, & big "let's avoid dystopia, shall we?" energy.

Just sent out my May sample of hopepunk writing to my mailing list. It's an extract from the #fanzine I made last week "Zine futures: Going solarpunk with paper"

Read the extract here: https://sand14.com/samples/#may

Or just subscribe if you feel like you need more #hopepunk writing in your life...

I just did an author interview with the magnificent Introverted Indies!
They asked me about my writing process and I answered in some detail.

If you’re curious how I turn handwritten notes into Amazon-bestselling solarpunk novels, read the interview here:
