Thank you to everyone who came out last night for the Glasgow launch of my novella All the Orphans in the Galaxy!! I wasn't sure this book would ever be published (too short? too quirky??). The fact that it has - with such a warm reception too - means the world.

So during lockdown I got very into 90s sci fi TV and I wrote a strange little novella about a girl obsessed with Star Trek. I loved it but wasn't sure I'd find a publisher (too short? too quirky?). Now I'm thrilled to announce it will be PUBLISHED THIS YEAR WITH @spec_books 💫🚀
