I've been so busy prepping for my viva that I forgot to promote my latest novella! WE, THE DROWNING follows a young man at the end of the world who has just discovered his mother's ties to a drowning cult. Despite that, it's a vaguely hopeful sci-cli-fi adventure with a pink fairy armadillo!

The photo shows the cover of the book WE, THE DROWNING by Lindz McLeod. The cover features a pale, parched beach with several dead bodies artfully strewn along the shoreline. Several bare trees frame the edges.

- sexy, wet Orpheic dreams
- Sapphic Austen continuation
- bitchy banter

- self-improvement (sort of)

You meet a woman, fall in love. Seven year later, you marry her, surrounded by friends and family. She's beautiful, talented, smart. And then one day, quite by accident, you discover that she has an instinctive, almost emetic reaction to the song 'Jessie's Girl'. Your life will never be the same.
