THE THREE LIVES OF ST CIARÁN

A young girl, un-dead and un-alive, brought to the shores of Iberia and nurtured to become the saviour of Madrid. A crippled boy drowning in the waters of Loughmichnois, called to preserve the secrets of a civilisation. A nun who instigates the bombing of Neo Dublin to reset a futureless people and start afresh. Times of darkness, worlds seemingly beyond salvation, people who have never known joy. What do they have in common? Three entirely different versions of Saint Ciarán to restore hope, faith, and brightness for humankind.

My most ambitious, queerest book to this date (in every sense!) It’s actually three inter-connected novellas because novellas will always be my first love. I illustrated some of the pages inside!

MCTAVISH MANOR

Scotland, 1803. After a failed marriage proposal, a tormented doctor runs away to a secluded house in the Highlands to take care of a pregnant woman and her family…

Includes gothic horror, creepy 19th century medical procedures and mountains.

KABUKI

Dora has it all: the perfect relationship with her girlfriend Eleven, a shared flat in gorgeous Edinburgh and the highest grades in her Computing Science degree. There’s only one problem: she hasn’t been able to sleep for months. During one of her insomnia spells she meets her neighbour, a gender fluid, former kabuki actor.

Full of queerness, angst and reflections on beauty. (Also, a love letter to Edinburgh, written where I still lived there).

Published by Dairea Ediciones and available here. (Only available in Spanish for now!)

LOS PENTASÓNCIOS

A middle-grade trilogy of books that focuses on a group of friends who play different instruments. Each book has a musical mistery to discover and focuses on a specific composer: Mozart, Satie and Dvořák.

These were the first novels I ever published, written along with Javier Gregori Roig. I was fourteen when the first one came out, and back at that time I still dreamed of being a pianist instead of a writer.
