Out now: THE LAST DRAGONERS OF BOWBAZAR, my uncategorisable novella out about Ru, a 'boy from nowhere' growing up in 90s/00s Calcutta, facing the impossibility that his family may be migrants from another reality, & Alice, a neighbour from Chinatown who is pulled close to their secrets. Links below:
ICYMI, my mythic realist novella about a boy coming of age in an extended family who may refugees from another reality, in a house in Calcutta that may be a dragons' nest. It won a British Fantasy Award and a Subjective Chaos Kind of Award, if that affects one's inclination to read it:

I think it's amazing that Precious from The Silence of the Lambs was born in 1975. Truly one of the great late in life performances ever captured on film. Prior to that moment she starred in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Coming to America and The 'Burbs. I dare you to find a better filmography

Thank you for reading, and for the kind words! I'm honestly still kind of bummed my contract was for a novella, I could have easily turned this one into a novel once I had the momentum. Still, glad it satisfied!

It was very good! I think the jacket copy did it a disservice. I had a feeling it might be kind of a dreamy, thin book, not at all what I'd expect from ID, but it was in fact a worthy successor to The Devourers; rich and thick, with emotional heft, inventive fantasy, and a living, breathing world.

We are no longer asking for much…
Only for what helps our children keep going 🌱
The war took safety and life’s simplest needs:
food 🍞, clothes 👕, and hope for tomorrow.
Even a small act of support can make a real difference

A content warning for very, very significant police violence on this video: Israeli President Herzog is visiting Australia, and police in New South Wales are violently bashing prone protesters.
The media is framing it in completely neutral terms.
Watch the video, then look at the headlines.

While I'm on a roll, if you know or ARE an agent or publisher looking for a dark/horror fantasy with a villain(ish) protagonist, lots of violence, a bleak atmosphere, and the worst trans guy you've ever met, let me know. I'll send it right over.
