Hello sunshine!
I visited the woods, first time in I can remember, after chatting to Lindsay Johnstone about Moving Mountains today. Huge thanks to @lindsayjohnstone.bsky.social for a really great conversation - recorded for her substack post this week - on care, chronic illness & creativity.

Equinox (Novella)

We follow teenage Cora on a magical realist fable to untangle themes of sibling loss, grief and inter-generational trauma through seasonal shifts and excavations of deep time.

Told in sparse, poetic prose.

Rocks. Mummy Issues. Mushrooms.

EQUINOX.

A sparse poetic novella untangling themes of sibling loss and inter-generational trauma through seasonal shifts and excavations of deep time. A love letter to moss, myth, mother-daughter complexities and the power of place.

Lucas Rijneveld meets Megan Hunter.
