Breed

Lou Ramsden
Liv is in trouble - her mum's planning a dog fight, her dad's getting out of jail, her brother's getting too close to her baby, the police are sniffing around and the pack is closing in. A sharp and savage story of the animals we are and the people we aspire to be.

Gas And Air

Synopsis:
All we inherit from our parents is eye colour, hair colour, and the size of our nose. Or is it? Intertwined stories from three generations lament the inclination of children to repeat parents mistakes. Themes of sex, desertion, and crime tangle in mirror-image monologues spoken by a mother and daughter who - reflecting on all they have loved and lost - both await their delivery.

Hundreds and ThoUSAnds

Lou Ramsden
Plagued by the deafening tick of her biological clock, Lorna pins all her hopes for true love on Allan. But she soon discovers that life in his isolated farmhouse raises disturbing questions, not happy endings. . . As the horror of Allan's world is exposed, will Lorna do what's right or turn a blind eye to get what she wants? Hundreds and ThoUSAnds is a dark and twisted tale about deciding what's more important - doing what's right or what's right for you.
