Intentional Dissonance


Intentional Dissonance is my new novel.

It’s a love story that takes place in the last city on Earth, after (and before) the end of the world.

There’s a man called Jon Salt, a doctor who wants to kill him or at least abuse a gift he has, a tree called Edward, a girl called Michelle, another girl called Emily who sells a drug that makes you sad (called Sadness) which Jon Salt is addicted to and a mute assassin called One Eye.

It also involves ghosts, Sylvia Plath’s diary and Kurt Cobain’s guitar.

If I’m really honest, it’s a book about what it feels like to fall forever.

So it’s quite complicated. But I’m happy and I feel like I wrote the book I wanted to write.

It should be available early December. Between now and then, every now and again, I’ll be posting different snippets from the manuscript in different places.


On I Wrote This For You.



Thank you for your patience and support, I honestly can’t wait for you to read it.

Before even reading this post and seeing it said December, I was already trying to buy it on the Kindle store.

I'm looking forward to this, it sounds like just my kind of novel.

I had stopped checking IWTFY because you said you were working on your book. I discovered a quote from you on www.holliesquotes.com and thought I'd come over and check out the page. I saw this snippet about the book .... it sounds amazing. And I love the word & meaning of saudade .... words that don't exist in the English language but should. Can't wait for the book to come out <3
