Brief Author Bio:

There's a river
running underground
underneath the town
towards the sea
that only I know all about
on which
from this city
we can flee.

Girl. 18. Stupid. Happy.

Synopsis: Kairos

Oliver Disraeli is really just your average 11-year-old - except that he looks a little strange. And he lives in an orphanage, though he’s not an orphan. And maybe – occasionally – he’ll accidentally kill everyone he’s ever known and loved in what amounts to little more than a magical sneeze.

And Oliver Disraeli’s not too sure, but he thinks he’s just been kidnapped.

A story about accidents, lies, mistakes, tomfoolery, waistcoats, pocket watches, cats, saints, people who die too early, people who die too late, the Nemean Lion looking less than his best, ponytails, cross-dressing, thieving, learning, typewriters, tea, princesses, and trying to forgive yourself after it all.

Second chances aren't impossibly hard to come by.

Excerpt: Kairos

"Mother, you did say we were coming here so I could have a look around my town - isn't that right?" The prince narrowed his eyes at the assorted orphans, as if daring them to produce a town of their own.
