All The Things We Donāt 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 mysteriesā¦youāll like this. Maybe.

Manifesto
I donāt 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.
Thatās not fair.
I also donāt want to write faff for a general audience to dross through online for free. What Iām trying to do isnāt cheap. Itās definitely not free. But I want the most important things to be freely available to everyone.
Thatās why I split (Re)wild Imagination in two, with someting new and special for subscribers only: a serialised literary gothic novel that Iād been working on for ages and is finally pitch perfect.
Iād been hesitating about doing this, for so many reasons, and you know whatā¦the time is right.
If you like magic realism, unreliable narrators, 19th century Gothic, dreamy slipstream type stories, and mysteriesā¦youāll 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 thatās up to you (thanks in advance).
