The blog has been a bit quiet this month, but we've been busy: most recently, with print layout for our novels. We now have sample chapters!
Read the first chapter of Philipp's Sign of the Sibyl
Read the first chapter of Ella's Safekeeping
Watch the blog (or follow by email, in the right sidebar) for further progress updates; we hope to have the novels available as paperbacks and e-books in August or September.

Your Loving Aunt
When looking through old files of my writing, I rediscovered this story, first published on a now-defunct collective blog in 2008. My novels (however the early drafts start) always end up fairly serious; my short stories almost never do.

My dearest Prunella,
How delighted I am to hear that your new house is completed! You must tell me everything about it. Have you chosen curtains for the parlour yet? There is a lovely print in a shop not far from my house: yellow with small pink roses. It would match your couch perfectly. And of course you mustn’t forget the wallpaper. Perhaps a pale yellow or pink will do best. Oh, my dear, I am so anxious to see it all. I have more things to remind you than I can write.
