I’m gearing up for a brand new Substack project in 2026, which will unfold like a piece of memoir and online storytelling theatre (with songs), with a n illustrated picture book for grown-ups by the end. I know that sounds a wee bit wildly experimental (because it is), but hopefully it will be beautiful too. If you like the themes of ‘beginning again’ and you’d like to see the lyrical and technical evolution of a book in real time (and the journey of the woman making it), then ‘The Painted House’ is for you ♥️
