We feature off-the-wall science fiction and modern fantasy, from cutting-edge new authors.
"This is why people should read stuff from indie publishers: you get the novel stylistic approaches and out-of-the-ordinary ideas that aren't straightforward or easily marketable."

Angels and Demons Collide This Winter
Colandra's Quest
by Susie Pilkington-Wood
Part One of a startling new fantasy series, for the Young Adult market - Winter 2011
A bus explosion rocks a city street in Bristol and catapults the driver's soul from his body. When the spirits gather the dead, his soul is taken with them, up to the Celestial Hall.
Upon pleading his case, Colandra, the soul of the bus driver, is returned to Earth, where he must search for his body to make it whole again. He is given the help of a human, Michelle; but during their search, they uncover a demonic plot to take over the universe.
This series has intrigue and existentialism, with action sequences and supernatural revelations.
Smallworld Reviewed in The Telegraph
Smallworld by Dominic Green:
"A showcase for Green’s bone-dry satire and deadpan humour ... Green’s agile imagination constantly wrong-foots the reader. A delight."
- Peter Ingham, The Telegraph
A planetoid with Earth-like gravity; a murderous devil-robot with a guilty secret; an escape artist who bests a supposedly inescapable prison colony which lands in the planetoid's southern hemisphere; pirates, prisoners, traders and a mining corporation which wants whatever's at the core of the tiny world...
Smallworld is stellar story-telling, brilliant and quirky, in a very British sort of way.
