🧿 COVER REVEAL! 🧿

She’s rrrrready! Say hi to THE WHICH WORD, Catriona Ross’ () subversive take on urban fantasy, coming February 2026 ❤️🌺

Pre-orders are up on our website!

🌺🌺🌺

Your word will find you, whether you can handle it or not. Your word is loyal; it does not give up on you. It will stay with you until the end of your life. No one can take it from you — unless …

Each door at The Plex is painted a different colour. As Rafi Paterson soon realises, this is no ordinary suburban complex. Residents are urged to meditate, body corporate meetings take place in a dark warehouse, and the martial arts trainer from the end cottage offers to attack her to improve her self-defence skills.

What the hell?

Then the godsisters arrive for a two-week reunion in Cape Town: Elvi, the impeccable younger sister, and Bruna, the glamorous Italian who once lived with the Paterson family as an exchange student. When an art academic disappears after a party at The Plex, the godsisters turn to the s*x diary found under Rafi’s bed for answers.

If you had the ability to avert a global disaster, would you step in — even if it meant never finding your way back?

Infused with subtle magic and sensual realism, The Which Word is a novel about selfhood, women’s bonds, and the dangerous power of language.

🧿 UTOPIA/HAVOC COVER REVEAL! 🧿

Oh hi! Say hello to not one but TWO covers for our upcoming anthology UTOPIA/HAVOC!

I mean, who are these divas?! The UTOPIA cover (black background) will be available everywhere in print and ebook, and the HAVOC cover (green frame) will only be available directly from us - and there will only be 50 of them, ever 💅 you can pre-order either/both right tf now from our link in bio x

Here’s the full tea on this SICK antho, dropping June 2026:

Eight futures. One planet on the brink.

From the last snow protea clinging to a dying mountain to the oceanic cities of a reborn Earth, UTOPIA/HAVOC traces humanity’s long arc through collapse, adaptation, and renewal.

In these stories, the end is never clean. The cities of tomorrow shimmer with both promise and ruin; technology becomes a god, a weapon, and a mirror. Lovers meet inside virtual heavens, rebels rise from the ashes of burnt-out empires, and new mythologies take root in the cracks of what was once civilisation.

Each story stands alone, yet together they chart a single continuum – from the smog-choked present to a solarpunk horizon that offers glimpses of what we might achieve, what we might overcome, if we act now.

Featuring acclaimed and emerging voices in speculative fiction, UTOPIA/HAVOC is a journey across the boundaries of genre and hope: a collision of despair and beauty, grief and growth, ruin and rebirth.

Featuring stories by Laurie Janey, Jenna Mervis, Joss Wyer, Luke Fourie, Nerine Dorman, Ciaran R. Maidwell, Thandi Rose and Stef van Staden. Edited by Tiaan Booyens.
