I write stories that quite literally come to me in dreams. No, really, I have very vivid dreams.

The Suit
A brand-new technology enters beta testing, and seeks volunteers to try out the latest virtual-reality experience and live out their ultimate fantasy in exchange for the license to use their image as background characters, like extras in other people's VR experiences. The lives of four people are all altered by this tantalising promise. Each of them must decide whether briefly living out their wildest dreams would be the experience of a lifetime, or a wrecking ball.

The Farm
After the ravages of nuclear warfare leave the human race decimated and beset by predatory mutants, the government enforces compulsory heterosexual marriage. Those who fail to comply are at risk of being sent to the Farm, a sinister prison that nobody returns from. Will Ariel Bailey find a partner at the Cathedral, a government matchmaking facility, or will she lose everything?

The Project
The human race is now starting to overgrow its safe zones, and stringent measures prevent "Stoppers" from bearing children. When doctor, Finn, falls for Bea, a stopper admitted to his care, the couple escape the law and join a group of medication traffickers. But is this new kind of danger better or worse?

The Phrontistery
Amelia Smith is pretty sure that the extra-galacticals who kidnapped her from Earth have made a dreadful mistake. She's terrible at hand-to-hand combat, has no grip on interstellar politics and definitely doesn't have horns. But they still insist on calling her Princess...

Compliance
Kate Redman is a bored young art teacher at an elite girls' boarding school. To pass the time she initiates a heated affair with a much older man on the teaching staff, much to the disdain of the rest of the faculty. But when a school trip abroad goes terribly wrong, Kate learns that she can't trust anyone, not even the man she thought she loved.
