t's been a summer filled with great joy (kids finished university!), and sorrow and deep loss, too. But today, my new book baby is in the house. That's something to celebrate, for sure.

I can't wait for you to meet ECHO1, a new character who is inspired by every AI I've ever met, from Data to Murderbot to Mary Shelley's creature. Every dystopia needs its hero, thanks to my wonderful publisher, DCB Young Readers, for letting me create mine.

Please contact DCB for interviews and media or review copies.

Introducing OCULUM ECHO, coming October 2022

 

What happens to Miranda1, Mannfred, Cranker, Grannie and the other children of OCULUM now they're outside their domed world?

Robots, freedom, war and FatRats. And ECHO.

I'm SO happy to reveal the cover for my next book, OCULUM ECHO! It's book 2 in The Children of Oculum series.

PRE-ORDER NOW. 

Coming from DCB Young Readers in October 2022, it's the sequel to OCULUM (2018), my middle-grade dystopia, which also features pandemic and climate change. 

In OCULUM ECHO, the story of the children of OCULUM continues. There is still pandemic and the planet is slowly recovering from climate collapse, but now there is also war with the UnRuly. (I was sadly prescient on this one, I'll be writing more about that in upcoming posts, just know that the story offers hope, glimmers anyway.) 

BUT ... there is also a voice from the past. There is also ECHO.

More to come soon, but for now I'm just really excited to reveal the cover of my next book! Thanks to my publisher DCB and to cover artist Emily Weedon, for the great new book cover.

OCULUM was nominated for the OLA Silver Birch Award and the SYRCA Diamond Willow Award and is optioned for a television production.
