My 5 Medieval Aberdeen stories are snapshots of lives, inspired by objects owned by women. I wrote them with the mentorship of @forthygreatpain, whose own work has so elegantly represented medieval women’s voices in fiction.

Thanks to everyone who read my stories and asked for tarot readings at the @sgsah showcase on Thursday. And to those who were promised an amazing 2025 based on the kind of medieval woman they are, all I can say is: the cards don’t lie 🃏 🔮
