Sea Change in Queer Life Queer Love 3

I’m delighted to share that my short story, Sea Change, has officially landed on shelves, appearing in Queer Life, Queer Love Vol. 3 the latest instalment of Muswell Press’s bold and brilliant LGBTQI+ anthology.

Sea Change is lifted straight from the early chapters of my upcoming novel, Fairy Feet, and it follows a teenage boy navigating friendship, desire and grief against the rugged backdrop of the Devon coast. Think salt spray, secrets, and the messy, glorious initiation into desire and identity.

This anthology isn’t your polite, cardigan-wearing collection of literary fiction. The editors wanted fresh, fearless queer voices - messy, mundane, marvellous - and somehow mine made the cut. Expect stories that celebrate the fascinating, the forbidden, the tenderly ordinary and the gloriously subversive.

Previous volumes showcased talent from Botswana to San Francisco, featuring writers such as Jon Ransom, Isabel Costello, Karen McLeod and Avi Ben-Zeev. This 2025 edition brings together 30 new pieces of fiction, flash, memoir and poetry. 

If you enjoy queer storytelling that refuses to sit quietly, you’ll want this one on your shelf.
