Hi everyone,

We're heading into year's end with a LOT of new Project Tempest content. Our goal of shaping a story world of the future - a place where people can explore and make their own experiences in Tempest Bay - is a weird, wonderful journey indeed.

This update we announce the release of new novella Two Strange Girls, and a podcast conversation with Bram Stoker award-winning horror writer Lee Murray.

I'd love to hear what you think of Two Strange Girls, and if you choose to like and subscribe to the podcast on your favourite service, this really helps us out. Thank you!

TWO STRANGE GIRLS LAUNCHES

A turbulent friendship falls apart amid secrets, betrayal, and horror.

Tempest Bay, 1910. A south seas smuggling town where misfits of all kinds live with vivid intensity. Marjorie Morton and Constance Pream are smart and strange and gloriously difficult. But when a storm brings a distress call from the ocean deep, terrors emerge to threaten everything they love.

The Project Tempest series imagines a world on the cusp of emotional climate change: a profound shift in how our inner lives connect to the places around us. The warring forces of this world are kindness and cruelty, creativity and death, history and memory and possibility and the deep primordial horror that echoes from the ocean to the stars.
