2023 – it’s a busy old year
What have we done so far and what’s still to come?
March saw my memoir – it is NOT an easy read, but call it a pretty one! I will offer links direct to publishers if you’d like to get any of these:
These Envoys of Beauty
March also saw the translation into Italian of my 2020 novel, Saving Lucia – Bang Bang Mussolini –
Bang Bang Mussolini
Just out, The Zebra and Lord Jones, a new novel of magical realism. As I write, we are getting ready for the release of The Alchemy, my first teaching book, which comes with its own platform, and then in November, the anthology of winning entries from the inaugural Curae prize, which I made specifically for writer and would-be writer-cares. For All three of the following books, head over to Renard Press. https://renardpress.com/https://
Finally, in six weeks, I start a PhD by Published Works at York St John University. It is on magical realism, the imagination and trauma, and foregrounds my own These Envoys of Beauty and Saving Lucia, together with briefer focus on five other books, alongside contemporary magical realism fiction and literature on trauma across various disciplines. While I have a nonfiction book out of exclusive submission at the moment – ‘The Lipstick – other than that, I can tell you about my July 2024 book, To Melt the Stars, which is a collection all about love. You can read about that here! https://www.thebookseller.com/rights/broken-sleep-books-snaps-up-vital-essay-collection-from-vaught
