The Pinnothrope Mance

Neurodiverse sixteen-year-old failed selkie and aspiring technomancer Valerie Townsend has the worst brother in the world, a career obsessed father, and an estranged mother last seen boarding a plane for Macau. She might be right about one of them. At any rate, the last thing that she needs is a prophecy hanging over her head, especially not one involving an ancient and immortal evil! Honestly, doesn’t the universe realise how important this year is for her education?

An Urban Fantasy/Coming of Age novel, and featuring a neurodiverse main female character and LGBTQA+ themes. Written under a pseudonym by one of Northern Ireland’s most prolific indie authors, The Pinnothrope Mance is a gentle story about growing up and finding one's place in the world.

For readers aged 12 years and up.
