The Unidentified
A group of outcast friends disrupt corporate control at their ad-funded, game-designed school in this fun tech dystopia.

Champagne Charlie and the Amazing Gladys
A drunken aristocrat and a crotchety music-hall singer form an unlikely friendship as they work to save the world from a sinister conspiracy that stretches from the sewers of Victorian London, all the way to the moon itself.

Walking the Knife's Edge
Raised on the wrong side of town by an abusive father, Rarkin keeps his feelings in, and people out. But in training for his dream job; Monster Containment, making friends is inevitable, keeping people at arm's length impossible, and learning to trust others to keep him alive alive is obligatory. Especially when a crime boss goes rogue, and his schemes poke Rarkin's CPTSD with a BIG stick.

Bonkpocalypse
Bonk isn’t a normal cat. It’s glitchy, rusty, its eyes don’t match—and it’s only getting worse. Red Darkling, its owner and all-around space babe, is determined to find out what’s wrong.

Bad Grains
When Jo's older brother vanishes in the fog of an eerie rye field, she'll do anything, even team up with Daniel, the world's most annoying boy (and her brother's BFF), to bring him back.

A Spark in Space
A character-driven YA space adventure with alien species, sentient spaceships, technomancy and found family.

The Damsel
One girl in the world who does not have superpowers and she’s done with being humiliated as the hostage in every scheme, the weakling in every fight, and so she sets out to prove she can do more than look pretty and scream, making friends, punching patriarchy and risking family along the way.

AN UNCOMMON CURSE
Susan never intended to be the villain in someone else's fairy tale. Except it turns out her fiancé is a cursed prince. Now, their story has been made into a musical, with Susan as a tap dancing enemy of true love. And the musical is only days away from performing in a magical theatre that will make the show's version of events into reality.

Courage Is the Price
When Rue’s ghost friend disappears, she’ll have to - eep! - make friends and leave the safety of her known world to find them. Not even anxiety will stop her finding the one person she’s ever trusted.

Puppetry
A novelette about two magical automatons called "puppets" forging a friendship in a magical modern New York City.

Duckett & Dyer, Dicks For Hire
They aren't detectives, but have to become detectives to figure out who's telling people they're detectives. And if they don't play their part, the concept of existence might just cease to exist.

The Old Goat and the Alien
A story of family and friendship set in the far-off binary planet system of Geminus.

A necromancer-in-hiding and his new-found friends – a war-scarred battle mage, her biologist brother, and a dead anthropologist – confront a haunted planet and their own past traumas to claim a home for their accidentally-acquired space armada.

Without Wings
A fallen angel is welcomed into a small, island community after being pulled from frigid waters. They struggle with their newfound mortal life, but with time, patience, and love freely given by their new friends they learn to accept and even enjoy the path they now walk.

Clipped
Heaven was perfect, until they came for his son. When angel engineer Zak's infant son is cast down for being born without wings, he faces Heaven's cruel mandate: forget, or fall. Clipped, Zak plummets to a broken Earth, where false prophets exploit the faithful, drug lords rule dead cities, and every truth comes with a price.

Sing In Me, Holy One, and Through Me
When the Wind Blows a mysterious, nameless drifter into a frontier town on the great plains - amid the land rivalries, small-town politics, money-making schemes, and star-crossed naive sweethearts and the jealousies they cannot help but excite - one might very well expect the story to proceed in certain familiar ways. But expectations, like everything else that mortals build, can be knocked down and blown away like so much dust, in the face of a strong enough wind.

The Lucky Machine
A plucky robot escapes a life of servitude to help a down-on-his-luck cyborg with his dream of being a fashion designer.

The Lost Star Chart
When sabotage shatters Darla Oswiu’s solitude, the hunt for a star chart to Old Earth forces her to confront her past—and a new ally who threatens her guarded heart. Staying ahead of her enemies may cost her everything.

Werecockroach

You need a ship. You need a crew. You need a mission. But more than that, you need a family...

A unique and uplifting fantasy tale celebrating friendship, loyalty, and love. Co-authored with Eli Belt and includes 33 original illustrations by Helen Whistberry!

Fortitude Waters
Armed with his pet hand of glory and stellar sense of smell, Fortitude Waters specialises in solving cold cases by speaking to souls reborn into new bodies. When he’s reluctantly paired with disabled literary critic, Matilda Tame, his latest investigation unravels the long-hidden crimes he’s helped conceal. With a Swiss inspired setting, this sensuous queer-normative novel tells a story about the power of parenting, generational trauma, and the importance of breaking the cycle in order to heal.

Dust & Lightning
In the near future, humans have gone beyond simple space travel. By the year 4054, multiple solar systems are inhabited, and taking a spaceship is as commonplace as taking an aeroplane. Unfortunately, not everything about the future is so advanced. The central planets, led by Earth, have risen high at the expense of cheap labour on distant worlds. Dissent is widespread and arrests are common. Sometimes prisoners are released; sometimes they disappear without a trace, sent to labour camps in other solar systems. When Ames Emerys receives a letter telling him that his brother Callum has died en route to the remote planet of Kilnin, he takes the first ship he can off Earth, desperate for answers. But the secrets Ames uncovers prove far more dangerous than he could have imagined. And trouble isn’t far behind.
