My Nineties Novels...


Then came my Phoenix Court trilogy, which was published between 1995 and 1998 by Chatto and Windus. These were the novels I wrote in my twenties. Council estate Magical Realism set in the North East! Featuring tattooed men, leopard boys, glamorous trans heroines, super-powered Sixth Formers, invisible ex-boyfriends and Queer shenanigans of all sorts…! Last year Lethe Press reissued the whole set with new covers, introductions and related short stories I’d published at the time.
