ELECTRIC ICE Launched in London July 2024

ELECTRIC ICE

Jack, a 200-year-old intersex street kid, has lived countless lives, and he remembers them all. He remembers our world and the massive tidal wave that erased it and everyone he knew. He’s been ridden by the trickster god Coyote across the country. He’s seen a world blanketed in never-ending ice, and he’s witnessed the Great Garbage Ocean spew plastic and jellyfish onto its shores.

Yet Jack also remembers love. As he grapples with the curse of survival while humanity teeters on the brink of extinction, he remembers the found family he connected with when trekking across frozen lakes and over roaring waterfalls to reach the salt sea. He remembers the university researchers, Charlie and Leo, who loved him and the town’s other orphans as much as they did each other. And he tells these memories to Joon, his great love – another ageless “Warehouse kid” whose identity is as unique and undefinable as Jack’s.

A post-apocalyptic, post-gender series, JELLYFISH DREAMING and its prequel, ELECTRIC ICE, pulse with plot twists, fierce determination, and unrelenting hope, navigating our own unrecognizable world with messages of love and survival in all its forms.
