Broad Shorts: Thirteen ‘Gentle’ Sci-Fi Short Stories
Suitable for ages 13+, Approx. 90 pages
Tentative launch date: 31 March 2026
Cover reveal: exclusive for newsletter subscribers until the public cover reveal in Feb 2026.
A gentle introduction to sci-fi—speculative but with heart.
In What Was Lost, a dingo disappears into the Australian outback, leaving behind a trail of questions. A time-traveling consultant sabotages his client’s love life—thirty years earlier. And in One Last Adventure, two young friends stand at the edge of goodbye, daring to imagine what comes next.
Quirky, heartfelt, and speculative in the softest of ways, Broad Shorts explores turning points that are strangely familiar. Each story experiments with endings—where futures remain hopeful, drama stays human, and wonder lingers long after the final page.
