All The Things We Don’t Discuss

A genre-bending literary gothic novel with a missing person at its core. If you like magic realism, unreliable narrators, 19th century Gothic, dreamy slipstream type stories, and mysteries
you’ll like this. Maybe.

Manifesto

I don’t want to write about ways that people can maybe help themselves feel hopeful, and help the planet while doing it, and then lock all of that behind a paywall.

That’s not fair.

I also don’t want to write faff for a general audience to dross through online for free. What I’m trying to do isn’t cheap. It’s definitely not free. But I want the most important things to be freely available to everyone.

That’s why I split (Re)wild Imagination in two, with someting new and special for subscribers only: a serialised literary gothic novel that I’d been working on for ages and is finally pitch perfect.

I’d been hesitating about doing this, for so many reasons, and you know what
the time is right.

If you like magic realism, unreliable narrators, 19th century Gothic, dreamy slipstream type stories, and mysteries
you’ll like this. Maybe.

Why do this?

To have a closer relationship with readers, and to speak freely, without any intermediaries or gatekeepers. I figured it makes more sense to save the planet for free together (duh), and if you want to pay for my art and my time, then that’s up to you (thanks in advance).
