Kickstarting Cascade

What does magic want?

When Vasai Singh resurrected drowned Mumbai and raised it into the clouds, the world reacted with awe and wonder – and no small amount of fear. As with the climate crisis believed to have caused the Cascade, resurgent magic proved lucky for some, a disaster for many others, and a source of hope and dread for everyone else.

A generation has passed since the Cascade transformed the world, smashing the tectonic plates of the political landscape and infesting the wilderness with demons and shriekgrass.

In Ottawa, a scandal-plagued government clings to power, kept afloat by the manipulations of its precognitive political rainman, Ian Mallory. But when his predictions signal only catastrophe ahead, the magic-loathing photojournalist Tobias Fletcher, land rights activist Jonah Augustine, his ex-wife, climate scientist Blythe Augustine, and emoji-spell wielding intern Sujay Krishnamurthy must overcome ideology and bureaucracy to save a future from a present whose agenda spells only doom.

    • Ebooks in the format of your choice and DRM-free! And
    • Lots of special extras as well!

Cascade Cover Reveal

At long last, I’m thrilled to reveal the cover for Cascade! You can read a little bit about our adventures on BumblePuppy Press’s blog (spoiler: these adventures involved tentacles, as all good adventures should).

Designing a cover is always a process, but even more so when you’re the author of the book. Cascade is a political fantasy, its magic rooted in climate change rather than bloodlines or wands, and the cover needed to capture both the sorcery and the socialism that you’ll find in its pages.

Stay tuned for a Kickstarter link and release news, coming soon!
