Join A BOTANICAL DAUGHTER author Noah Medlock on 17th March for a signing event at The Portal Bookshop! 🌱

A captivating tale of two Victorian gentlemen hiding their relationship away in a botanical garden who embark on a Frankenstein-style experiment with unexpected consequences.

Event No. 1 on the book tour is York! The Portal Bookshop Sunday 17th March, 6:30pm.

“We’re lucky enough to have the fabulous Noah Medlock nearby, so we’ve co-opted us an author! Listen to a little queer horror reading, and get books scribbled in (just buy them first)”

To see my little gay plant monstrosity for sale in The Portal Bookshop, champions of queer sci fi, fantasy and horror… I mean. That’s it. That’s been the dream all along 😭

(Plus Lali was there to give me a much-needed hug)

The lovely Carol Leyland is now in store and signing copies of this gorgeous sapphic romance (set in York!)

I am giving not one BUT two talks next week!

On 22 Feb (18:00), I am giving a LGBTQ+ History Month talk The Portal Bookshop ( 5 Patrick Pool, YO1 8BB), entitled 'Cruising the Sagas: Queer Sex and Death in Viking and Medieval Scandinavia'. Free and open to the public. 🌈
