About Us

The brothers grew up with funny-shaped dice, teetering stacks of paperbacks, and heads full of dragons, starships, and worlds that never were. They have been dreaming ever since, toppling empires, summoning heroes with dodgy habits, and remembering to eat only when the story paused.

Their sci-fi debut, Feral Bloom, wrestled with the horrors of philosophy. C.J.Holden is currently working on Embassy: Bitter Tides, which sails into high fantasy seas, where politics bite harder than orcs and maps lie through their teeth. H.M.Read is currently working on a dark, sci-fi horror.

Wherever they wander next, expect stories that amuse, surprise, and sometimes roll a natural twenty.

“We pushed upriver into hell. We walked where nothing made sense. We lived a while in the company of madness.”

A literary post-collapse sci-fi where memory kills, thought corrodes, and one woman still knows how to read.

They say forgetting is how we survived. A vanishing so seamless, no one living can see the scars. Braska hunts the past. Temlyn enforces the present. Their fates intertwine in a world where trust is madness. Before they understand what it means to be human, they will lose everything that makes them so.

The Bloom devoured civilization. Cities are mulch. The lands fester with impossible dangers, and survivors drift on the water.

Someone must discover who ended us before we disappear for good.

For fans of The Road and Annihilation, a haunting vision of ruin and resistance.
