I write hopeful climate fiction for readers who believe better futures are possible. Tides of Tomorrow is my debut series, exploring community, adaptation, and connection in a post-flood Britain.

A clockwork carnival fails only under the lamps, never in the quiet hours. The finale is promised nightly and never comes. Faults don't keep time. Whatever breaks on cue is choosing to. A story of wonder, and what carrying it costs.

The Marigold: an old, faded, much-mended barge, home to as odd and dear a found family as the frontier has ever floated.

She stood within sight of the one she sought and did not cross. Now she turns the long way round to the harbour where the whole drowned world gathers. Two wakes. One tide. Be findable.

Rhea mends pumps in every harbour and signs her work in the dressing of the wire ends. A signature for a reader who never comes.

Out on the forgotten frontier, a town stakes its whole year on one bright week of carnival lights. But the wonders are failing on cue, and the old showman gives and gives without anyone asking the cost.

They sent him to a moon of rubbish to reset a broken sorter. He found a canyon of single boots, mended toys, and careful labels instead. Forty years of keeping what others discarded. What if it wasn't broken at all?

Trapped by endless snow. Heat keeps shifting toward the living. Everyone wants the old keeper shut down before someone freezes. One wrangler walks into the dark cold to ask why first.

They expected ruins. Instead they found life clinging to the towers of a drowned city, bridges spanning the abyss, and watchers who will decide their fate. The past waits below. The future hangs in the balance.

Clockwork wonders falter on cue under the carnival lamps. A frontier town waits for the finale that never comes. The showman carries every delight and none of his own. Who mends the heart of wonder?

What if the sea refused every rule you ever learned? A crew battles towering waves and hidden wrecks, racing medicine through the storm. Stubbornness and secrets may be their only anchors.

Hired robots at a frontier wedding start drifting toward the music and the feast. Flawless one day, yearning the next. A wrangler who knows a reset erases more than faults. What if machines want to belong too?

The rule of this world: news travels with trade. A lone sail is told nothing. You cannot find one person in a disconnected world. You can only connect it.

Cut off by endless winter, a station's faithful robot keeper moves the heat in ways no one can read. Everyone wants it switched off. One man says ask why first. The cold doesn't bluff.

She crossed oceans to stand still and be found. The gathering cut its warps and fled. Days behind the hand she reads in the dark, a foundering floating nation now needs her eye on the deep. Hold together or scatter and live.

The Knot is a nation that has never owned a harbour. Its people lash their boats into one floating town and unbind to fish, following the shoals down a lifetime of seasons.

Every gauge reads green. Nothing is broken. Yet the old engine sets her brakes hard on the last run of a dying line, and no one thought to ask her why. A wrangler who listens refuses to force her.

She chased a wake across half a drowned world. At last the woman stopped. But this still country has frozen solid, sealing them one ey apart with killing ice between. The impatient die first.
