“So I, a migratory bird, am suffering from the need to return to the place I have come from before the season and sun are right for my return. Do I meet spring summer or winter? Here I live in a perpetual other season unable to read in the sky, the sun, the temperature, the signs for returning. Is it homesickness – ‘I know a place whereon…’ the matagouri, the manuka, the cabbage tree grow…”
Janet Frame
In a city where lost gods live in the cracks in the sidewalk and where the miracle of alchemical botany makes flesh as malleable as clay, Yat Jyn-Hok must solve her own murder, and find her lost love, before a plague tears her home apart.
Sascha Stronach’s debut novel is a story of rebirth, redemption, and the long road home. It’s the beserk, hopeful, witchy and weird LGBT+ Sci-Fi novel that you didn’t know you needed in your life. For fans of Tamsyn Muir, Scott Lynch, Seth Dickinson and Lara Elena Donnelly.
The Dawnhounds is out November 8 2019, from Little Hook Press.
(And here’s the book trailer)
All writers--all beings--are exiles as a matter of course. The certainty about living is that it is a succession of expulsions of whatever carries the life force...All writers are exiles wherever they live and their work is a lifelong journey towards the lost land..

But then, in the end we all travel very lightly indeed. Nothing to carry more substantial than memories...and maybe that's the heaviest baggage of all...
The Bone People, Keri Hulme
One of the most remarkable qualities of human beings is the urge to build a home. We build our homes on slopes under volcanoes, on the banks of untamed rivers, on cliffs in earthquake zones. We build our homes on the shaky foundations of other men’s souls and that is even more frightening.
Jindra Tichá, ‘Death and Forgiveness’
Response - Ursula Bethell (1929)
When you wrote your letter it was April, And you were glad that it was spring weather, And that the sun shone out in turn with showers of rain. I write in waning May and it is autumn, And I am glad that my chrysanthemums Are tied up fast to strong posts, So that the south winds cannot beat them down. I am glad that one bush warbler Still sings in the honey-scented wattle--- But oh, we have remembering hearts, And we say 'How green it was in such and such an April,' And 'Such and such an autumn was very golden,' And 'Everything is for a very short time.'
