You’re not going to believe it…

… but I signed a book contract!!

I am so proud, and so excited to say that When The Giants Passed Through is coming out in 2026 with Northodox Press!

I wrote what I affectionately call ‘Giants’ in a month in 2020. I had no intention of trying to get it published – I wrote it for the love of writing. When people asked what I’d been up to, I mentioned it in passing, along with the fact that I’d been doing yoga.

Then friends and family started asking to read it, and eventually, about an hour before the deadline, my oldest friend sent me a link to the Kelpies Prize 2022. In between handing in essays, I threw together an entry and, thinking that nothing would come of it… of course, something did….

During my (amazing) mentorship with the Kelpies team, I worked on ‘Giants’. And eventually, it got to the point where it was ready to submit it to publishers.

But then I stalled.

I’m not really sure why. Perhaps it was due to the fact that university got exponentially more time-consuming as I progressed through my course, or perhaps the pace of life just sped up to the point where I didn’t have the bandwidth to contemplate submission packages.

Either way, not very much happened until Northodox announced they were opening a submission window. Having read and absolutely loved their book ‘Abraxus Elijah Honey’ by Ella Ruby Self, I knew that they’d be the perfect home for ‘Giants’.

And it looks like they thought so too!

I’ll be posting more here as news unfolds – I’m so excited to share this book with you all.

For now… here’s a teaser….
