The novel took favourites from my childhood (The Weirdstone of Brisingamen and The Moon of Gomroth) and looked at the aftermath of their stories with a complex adult eye. The work that was created was multi-layered and melded fantasy, with myth, story-telling, psychology and grounded geographical reality
It was an intriguing and original story mixing fantasy and alternative history, or perhaps science fiction, while creating human and complex, as well as fantastical, characters. The world building was both imaginative and all too credible.
A sequence of poems narrating the life and times of a future-world everywoman, or, more accurately, every robot, the titular Steelyard Sue.
Songs of Steelyard Sue was nominated for the SFPA 2013 "Elgin Award" for best SF poetry chapbook and shortlisted for the Saboteur Awards 2013 for best poetry pamphlet.
"Steelyard Sue Builds a Baby" from Songs of Steelyard Sue was the WINNER of the 8th Annual Data Dump Awards for SF poems published in Britain in 2012
