Jess’s debut novel Posterity is now published by Gurt Dog Press and available from her website.  Fifty years ago, Captain Nina Brooke hand-picked a crew from across the world to accompany her on the mission of a lifetime. Today, they’re all waking up. The Posterity is making her final approach to their new home planet, and the work is about to begin. Humanity wasn’t an endangered species when they set off on this mission, but it’s a darn sight closer to being one now. 

In 2021 we published an anthology.  Out of the Ashes showcases some of our best work to date. We launched the book in October our annual event for Mole Valley Arts Alive Festival, which is one of the largest community events of its kind in the UK. 

Out of the Ashes invites you to relax and lose yourself in imaginary places and wonderful settings; explore the depths of truth and fiction, travel into the future, and the past; be transported to exotic foreign destinations and return to your own with a renewed love for reading. You can buy a copy of Out of the Ashes online here.

In February 2022 we will welcome Siobhán O’Brien Holmes, a developmental editor of middle grade and YA genre fiction.  She will talk us through the editing process or writing science fiction, fantasy and horror for kids and teenagers, also touching on other genres. You can read more about Siobhán online. 

In April 2021 we welcomed Kate Hardy to our online meeting.
