Escape. Delete. Disappear. All the Lonely People is the story of Kat Waldgrave, a girl who lives her whole life online, and Wesley Graham, the boy who bullies her off the internet.

Until she meets another girl who is fading too, and realises the only way to save herself is to stop an alt-right terror attack. Wesley might be the only person left who remembers Kat. Overcome by remorse for what he has done, he must decide between being drawn deeper into the alt-right or preventing Kat from disappearing completely. It might be the only way to save himself.

GRIEF ANGELS (2020)
15-year-old Owen Marlow is experiencing a great, disorienting loss after his father suddenly passed away and his mother moved them to a new town. None of his old friends knew how to confront his grief, so he's given up on trying to make new ones.
There is one guy at school who might prove to be different if he gives him a chance but lately, Owen has been overwhelmed by his sadness. He's started to have strange, powerful hallucinations of skeletal birds circling above him. Owen tells himself that these visions are just his brain's way of trying to cope - until one night, the birds descend and take him to an otherworldly forest. There, he is asked to go on a dangerous journey that promises to bring him the understanding he so desperately seeks - if he can survive it.
Grief Angels is an urgent and heartfelt look at the power of nostalgia and the many different forms of grief. It's about young men learning how to share their stories, and teens discovering who they are, and who they might one day become.
