An elderly artist confronts his mortality by collaborating with a mysterious young photographer on a final artistic project. As they work together, the boundaries between his past and present intertwine, creating a rich narrative that explores themes of legacy and creativity. This innovative short novel intricately connects the artist's work, "The New World," with Giandomenico Tiepolo's fresco, "Il Mondo Nuovo," offering a unique blend of art and storytelling.

Set in Paris, this atmospheric tale delicately intertwines three connected narratives and timelines, interspersed with observations of the colour blue. A new addition to the Fairlight Moderns.

A gripping novel based on the true tale of an old woman's conscience. Left a fortune by her husband's ownership of the Winchester Rifle company, Sarah is visited by the violent death moment of people who have been shot.

Hope Never Knew Horizon fictionalises the origins of three cultural objects associated with hope - the blue whale skeleton hung in London's Natural History Museum, Emily Dickinson's poem 'Hope is the thing with feathers', and G. F. Watts' painting 'Hope' - telling their stories from the perspective of someone marginalised from history.
