Episode 125 In Conversation with Ashley Nova

Write, Damn It! with Zoe Richards

Ashley is a sci-fi and fantasy author and professional astronomer. When she isn’t studying the intricacies of galaxy evolution and artificial intelligence, she’s plotting out and writing character driven speculative fiction at the intersections of queerness and neurodiversity. Ashley enjoys picking up and putting down heavy objects at the gym, playing table-top RPGs, and she developed a taste for going to raves at the age of thirty.
Title: The Potent Solution

Genre: Historical Urban Fantasy

THE POTENT SOLUTION is a historical urban fantasy, set in the gaslit streets of London in 1834. It follows an apprentice alchemist, thrown into the jaws of a deadly conspiracy after her mentor mysteriously vanishes. To prevent disaster, Charlotte Price must take on magically empowered assassins, gate-crash a society ball and track down the source of a dangerous arcane drug. But her biggest challenge is her own mind—Charlotte has ADHD and her errant attention span threatens to stop her investigation in its tracks.
