Today is the day! My second novel is out in the world. I worked damn hard on this book and I'm so proud of how it has turned out. Now is the hardest part- it needs to find its way into the hands of the readers its destined for.

Bon voyage and best of luck, little book

STAR-SCORCHED FINGERTIPS OUT NOW!

A carnivorous vine on a planet infected with a human exodus cult, forges psychic connections with Earth, and bestows an unsuspecting group of women with the power to heal or destroy the remnants of humanity.

In a story that spans the galaxy, this ultimately hopeful, eco-punk adult science fantasy novel  explores the future of humanity and our obligations to our planet of origin through characters who wrestle with non-conforming desires, gender identities, and sexualities.

Memories of fire rose through her mind. Night come early as the fire closed in and smoke obscured the sun. Writhing sheets of flame. Kangaroos, rabbits, birds, and feral livestock fleeing the fire front and screaming in a way you never knew animals could scream, some of them alight like candles. The pop of trees exploding. Flames jumping fire breaks and leaping up the outcrop. Youngsters stamping out embers with their bare feet or hiding under blankets, struggling to extract air from between particles of ash and smoke. The heat rising until you passed out, waking later with singed eyelashes and tender, red skin. Lying next to a youngster who hadn't been as lucky.-

Last year, the sky above me in California turned red from raging wildfires as ashes choked the air.

  This year, it was the sky in Greece, and the year before was the sky in Australia. As climate change worsens, I wonder which skies will turn red next?

There was so much excitement in the vine network, those fine threads that connected every consciousness on the planet via the soil.-

And part of him wanted to be punished. He wanted an external stimulus to cause a change. Like a plant that altered its tropism based on the source of light.-

A profusion of green and flesh-coloured leaves pressed against the glass, pulsing and tapping as though looking for escape.-

The phone itself, not how long you personally have had access to it. If you don't currently have a mobile phone but did previously, vote for that one's age at the last time you used it.

A multi-coloured dune of sea-smoothed plastic and glass pebbles sloped down from the edge of the bush to the shore. Further to the west, over a kilometre down the beach and out into the ocean, were the submerged buildings of the drowned city.-

They'd thought this land would be full of orchards and crops by now. Their fertilisers had made no difference. There was no life in the acidic soil. Under the microscope it was devoid of the fungi and bacteria associated with a healthy microbiome. When they'd fought back the vine and cut down the native trees, they'd triggered an environmental death spiral.-

Can you die

(forgive me)

"Can I--...?"

A rare spark of some unidentifiable emotion briefly flashes across Bridge's pale features. Mortality wasn't exactly something Bridge has had to worry about. Not often, at least. Although, there's been some close calls that she can remember barely dragging herself out of by the skin of her teeth, and often times without much help. The dragging part can be taken quite literally for a few of those incidents.

"... It concerns me, what you intend to do with this information. But, alas, I will assume you have asked in good faith... Yes. I can 'die'."

Lightning flashed in the dark sky, followed by a crack of thunder. Skyfather used to say thunder and lightning were expressions of The Spirit of Aceso’s displeasure.-
