The Stranded
'Gorgeously written . . . immediately hooks the reader from the early pages (the world-building is fantastic).' Independent Welcome to the Arcadia. Once a luxurious cruise ship, now it is home to the stranded. For forty years, they have lived, and died, on the water. A place of extreme haves and have-nots, gangs and make-shift shelters, its people are tyrannized by a country they can see but can't get to. A country that says it doesn't want them. Esther is a loyal citizen, working flat-out for a rare chance to live a life on land. Nik is a rebel, intent on liberating the Arcadia once and for all. Together, they will change the future . . . WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE STRANDED: 'A pacy, gripping read that plunges you into this near-future dystopia from the first page.' 'A real page-turner, with relatable characters and lots of twists and turns . . . if you loved Station Eleven this will be right up your street' 'This is honestly one of the best action centred books I've read in a while! Think Titanic meets The Hunger Games!.'

Sarah Daniels is "a writer with a natural talent for disturbance" (Observer) Set in the gutting sheds of the slaughterhouse at the Cattle Market in late Victorian Deptford, The Gut Girls shows how the lives of the girls are changed when their work is made illegal - "Regarded as little better than whores by their contemporaries the gut girls are...a boisterous, beer-swilling, strong-minded bunch, handy with a knife both in the gutting shed and outside it, defiantly independent in attitude and scornful of the illusion of male supremacy." Malcolm Hay (Time Out). Beside Herself is the first of three plays in this volume that deal with women and madness - "a dramatic analogue of a contemporary so...

Masterpieces
Masterpieces is a powerful issue-play, a vehement statement against pornography that has set theatre audiences on edge since its first production in the 1980s. Written in response to excessive and graphically violent films, Masterpieces is a play written in anger that still holds relevance today.

The Only Way Out
The exciting conclusion to The Stranded duology! Trust no one. It's been six months since the Arcadia set sail. But this wasn't the freedom the inhabitants were hoping for. Esther did what she had to do, but she left a trail of destruction in her wake. Now the wrecked ship is abandoned, and its inhabitants are in exile, trapped in makeshift shelters. Esther and Nik, architects of the rebellion, are on the run. Esther is in hiding and Nik seems to have abandoned all hope. But neither of them wants to face up to their true feelings for each other. And there's a new villain in town: ruthless Admiral Janek who wants to deal with the traitors while outrunning her own shady past. When the shaky ceasefire negotiated by Nik's mom, General Lall, falls apart, Nik and Esther find themselves in a world of betrayals and double crossings—a game of power with no one to trust but themselves.
Beside Herself
Highlights the silence and denial about sexual abuse and questions the social controls on those labelled mad, crossing the thin line between suffering and survival.
The Stranded
The Hunger Games meets Station Eleven in a gripping near-future dystopian: love triangles, betrayals and fights for freedom in a world turned upside-down... Welcome to the Arcadia. Once a luxurious cruise ship, it became a refugee camp after being driven from Europe by an apocalyptic war. Now it floats near the coastline of the Federated States—a leftover piece of a fractured USA. For forty years, residents of the Arcadia have been prohibited from making landfall. It is a world of extreme haves and have nots, gangs and make-shift shelters. Esther is a loyal citizen, working flat-out to have the rare chance to live a normal life as a medic on dry land. Nik is a rebel, planning something big to liberate the Arcadia once and for all. When events throw them both together, their lives, and the lives of everyone on the ship, will change forever...
