A Grave Tree
To know, to will, to dare, to keep silent... Abbey's parents are still missing, possibly trapped in a parallel universe, and the adults around her won't give her any answers. So when she and Caleb once again travel to a possible future-one in which Coventry City is very much not as it should be-it's up to them, and their neighbour Mark, to try to find her parents and set things right. But it won't be that easy. Abbey and Caleb become separated, the stones themselves seem to be breaking down, Mark encounters odd ghosts and his half-sister Sandy beneath the Granton Dam, Ian and Sylvain continue to lead them astray, and a powerful witch named Quinta is reshaping the futures to mysterious ends. To save the future-or at least get everyone home-science-minded Abbey may have to perform magic. And to do so, she will have to believe...
Confessions of a Failed Environmentalist
Alana Matheson always tries to do the right thing for the environment, even when it means boycotting school meatball day, forgoing the use of makeup, or getting entangled in a bet with her non-chicken-loving ex-husband over which of them can be the most environmentally conscious. So when a mining company proposes developing a mine right in the middle of the community watershed, well, of course Alana is going to be on the front lines opposing the development. Except she isn't. To her own shock and dismay, she finds herself taking a job... with the mining company. Worse, she finds herself drawn to her attractive and mysterious boss, Nate: a capitalist mining executive. The enemy. Alana struggl...
A Quill Ladder
Now that the witches have been rescued from Nowhere and Mantis no longer seems to be a threat to Simon, Abbey Sinclair just wants to return to her quiet life of chemistry experiments and physics textbooks. But life is anything but quiet for the Sinclairs. Abbey's mother is taking secret trips to the stones with Caleb, Simon has been arrested for hacking into the City Hall computer, and to really complicate matters, the witches from Nowhere have moved in across the street. Meanwhile, Mark has become increasingly obsessed with some old maps of Coventry, convinced that their strange markings hide an important secret. But when others-witches, of course-start to show an interest in these very same maps, Abbey, Mark, and Caleb find themselves on the run. Soon the race is on to see who can unravel the secrets of the maps first, and Abbey still doesn't even know which witches are on the good side-if there is a good side.
Drawing Breath
A book of memories. Growing up in the 1950s and 60s, childhood is peppered with untold freedom and strict codes of behaviour. There are fears of not being accepted, not conforming and for those suffering from gender dysphoria, there is nowhere to turn. A convent education brings Jennifer intense friendships, unrequited love and tussles with belief and disbelief in a higher being. She finds diversion in play acting and searching for adventure in the role of her alter ego. Emerging from the protective arms of a white middle class family, she confronts the harsh realities of life with a charismatic young man as her cicerone. After four years of teaching bring feelings of inadequacy, of not being up to the job and finding no place in heterosexual British society, Jennifer decides to start afresh and to leave England.
In the Shadows of the Mosquito Constellation
In a world torn apart by economic collapse, Natalie and her husband Richard establish an island of relative safety on a communal farm. Death-by starvation, raiders, and sickness-stalks them daily, and their survival hinges on working together for the common good. But in a lawless land with no shortage of suffering, good is a malleable concept. As the constant grind of survival and the frictions of farm politics expose the rifts in Natalie and Richard's marriage, Natalie finds herself seeking refuge in the company of Richard's twin, Daniel, a solitary man with little interest in politics. In the face of ongoing external threats and simmering internal divisions, Natalie, Richard, and Daniel must each map the boundaries of their own loyalties and morality. In the Shadows of the Mosquito Constellation is a story of adventure, politics, and love in a brave new world where the rules have both changed, and stayed the same.
