Happy new year! The book is out- You Are Here: Nine More Stories, a new short story collection including a brand-new novella. Dragons, smugglers, witches, Indian mothers, meddling lesbians, telepaths who love to troll you, space! 🌈🚀🏴‍☠️🪔 🐉 available most places, paperbacks at Amazon, links below.

Book cover: text, YOU ARE HERE: NINE MORE STORIES, IONA DATT SHARMA, on illustration of grim South Asian woman with greying hair, orange hair scarf and shoulder tattoo of a violet, holding a floating Earth Blurb text: It is not a sin, to love a wild thing… A witch falls out of the sky; a dragon joins the resistance; a smuggler of magical trifles loves a girl she can’t have. A spaceship lights up for Diwali; an arch in the woods leads to wonders; and in a small community in lunar orbit, for no reason understandable by normal people, romance has been abolished.  Here are nine more stories, of hope and passion, grief and bureaucracy, and how you can’t go home again but it doesn’t mean you’ll never be found. (In a white room, full of ghosts, a woman cries and will never be found.) You Are Here is a follow-up to the author’s first collection of short fiction, Not For Use In Navigation (2019). This new volume collects eight more stories, plus an exclusive previously unpublished novella, Wish You Were Here. Published 1 January 2025.

If you’re a creator or work in the creative industries or otherwise have a heart, then please add your voice to this UK Gov consultation on AI and Copyright. I said ‘freelance’ for company and ‘unsure’ for super-granular legal stuff but made my voice heard. You can too. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Copyright and Artificial Intelligence

This consultation seeks views on how the government can ensure the UK’s legal framework for AI and copyright supports the UK creative industries and AI sector together.

The Lions of Al-Rassan by @guygavrielkay.bsky.social. It has revenge, politics from the personal to the geopolitical and everything in between, romance, wonderful women characters and an ending that has your heart in your mouth.

What are people's most ARCHETYPICAL novels? Not your FAVORITES per se, but the ones that best exemplify your tastes in novels, distilled into a single work? Mine is probably Susanna Clarke's "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell."
