Haunted Wires (in development)

I’m currently working on my first collection of speculative short fiction exploring identity, mythmaking and remembrance in a time when digital and bio technologies are reshaping human customs.

I’m interested in our newly emerging myths and rituals, the shape of our grief, our dreams, our memories, and the stories we spin about what it means to be human today. So far, the stories explore how our emotional lives, relationships and sense of self are often mediated through technology, and the sense of uncanny, unease and strange detachments that can emerge from this.

As part of the project, I’ll be experimenting not just with theme, but with form. To support this experimentation, I’ll be undertaking a period of research and professional development thanks to Arts Council England’s Develop Your Creative Practice fund. I’m also being mentored by the wonderful author, Kirsty Logan.
