I couldn’t be more delighted to say that Tor US has signed my debut novel The Forest on the Edge of Time, and it’s due out in February 2026.
Recruited by the mysterious Project Kairos to change history and save the future from ecological disaster, Echo and Hazel are transported through time to opposite worlds. Echo works as a healer’s assistant in Ancient Athens, embroiled in dangerous politics and wild philosophy. Hazel is the last human alive, in a laboratory on a polluted island with nothing but tiny robots and an untrustworthy AI for company.
Both women suffer from amnesia but when they fall asleep, their consciousnesses transcend time and they meet in their dreams. Together, they start to uncover their past – but soon discover the past threatens humanity’s survival. If Echo and Hazel have a chance of changing the future, they must remember to forget…
The Forest on the Edge of Time is a science fiction novel about family and duty and the worlds we try to save along the way.
In a recent interview with Clarkesworld, my amazing editor Lee Harris said, ‘The Forest on the Edge of Time is a terrific debut… It’s a story of climate collapse and time travel, and how one might be utilized to prevent the other. Wonderful human characters, and you’re going to fall in love with the robots!’ Truly, I can’t wait for all of you to meet the Tinys either.
The book is due out in February 2026, less than a year away, and will be followed by my second novel, Pacific Blue. Watch this space…!
