As a disabled teenager, Sarah R. New identified strongly with monstrous female characters, but couldn’t quite find herself reflected in her favourite genre. Twenty years on, she’s crafting her own narratives, using personal experiences to thrill and scare readers. She is the host of film analysis podcast Anatomy of a Horror Film, and regularly writes about film analysis on her Substack, naturalis mutant. Her first novella, Gothic horror Amissis Liberis, was published by Alien Buddha Press in 2024, followed by body-and-mind horror novella, Hypochondria in 2026. Her most recent novella, animalistic thriller CATFOOD, was released in June 2026.

Francis Towne’s Lake District Sketchbook, published by the Winterbourne Press in a limited edition, is a beautifully crafted book.

E. Beckett is a Hungarian-born fantasy author, artist, and independent publisher based in Hertfordshire, UK.

Her epic fantasy series, ‘The Moonlight Saga’, begins with ‘Moonlight’ and continues in ‘Moonsickle’, taking readers into a world of elves, humans, ancient magic, divided loyalties, and secrets that threaten to change everything. At its heart is a half-elf caught between two worlds, searching for belonging in a place where neither side truly accepts him.

Alongside writing, Beckett works as a developmental editor, mentors emerging writers, and creates original fantasy artwork, character portraits, and illustrations. She is also the founder of Eywind Books and the creator of Eywind Pages, a literary and arts magazine celebrating creative voices.
