Singular Dream

By Joshua Lavender

Cybermonk sci-fi about Quibble, a heretic in a transhuman theocracy. Essays about the Singularity and writing fiction.

Weaves speculative fiction using a variety of prose and poetic forms to combine old mysteries with new revelations and both science fact & fiction with fantasy. Talented world-building and deft word-wielding at its finest.

In A Different Place

By Evelyn K. Brunswick

A glimpse into the better worlds you have lost, starring a girl from a parallel world called Katrina

Evie exists in a singular set of worlds all of her own, offering a biographical-based intelligence which can entail Anglo-French espionage, a cute visitor from an alternative future, disassociative timeslips, plus an ever-watchful Paschat presence. There's even some dream-like poetry. Yes, indeed – four paws are pretty good for this cosmic Katie.

The Consilience Series

By Johnathan Reid

Science fiction novels for thinkers, serialised for your pleasure. Dystopian / Post-Apocalyptic / Cli-Fi / First Contact.

My debut Substack serial, INGRESSION, is an adult speculative fiction novel. It fuses dystopian, first contact and climate fiction themes, with a hint of swords and eagles fantasy. If you're into a near-future setting, character-driven plot and a strong, contemporary woman protagonist, then this might be for you.
