i finally finished the lamb today! ever since i read carcinisation and immediately googled your name to see if there was more i'd been looking forward to that and it was incredible, it took me a while to get to because i'm not a fast reader but it was SO worth it

This is SO unbelievably kind. Thank you for taking the time to read it and to send me this ask 🥹💖

I’m writing some more short stories which are due to be published later this year for different anthologies so keep a weather eye out! And I have a short personal essay on autism and my obsession with mermaids in a book called Someone Like Me too if you fancy some nonfiction 🎀

I asked one of my readers to tattoo me 🥹❤️ I stumbled across an illustration they did on instagram (where they said the lamb was their fave book of 2025😭)

One of the best decisions I’ve ever made 🥹🫶
