“…I made my smile out of hard times and snatched joys. I sanded it down on surviving.”
Beginnings and endings. Hard-fought nights and hard-won dawns. As we fall, so we rise. These are stories about hope.
In these 52 very short pieces of fiction, James Webster goes looking for hope in the dark places of sci-fi and fantasy. What inspires us to keep moving forward when the road ahead seems endless? When today has hurt us deeply, how do we keep our hearts open to tomorrow? Where do we find the power to believe in a better world?
Packed with bright beauty, wry laughter and deep longing, these are tales to feed your heart’s fire to seek joy even amidst sorrow.
Because hope is not something you wait for, it’s something you make on purpose.

James is an inveterate scribbler of poetry and prose who can most reliably be found writing weird little stories online, on a stage somewhere, doing something that can only be described as ‘proclaiming’.
As a poet, e’s won multiple slams, performed up and down the UK (mainly down) and written two full-length spoken word theatre shows (50 Shades of Webster and Poor Life Choices) that he’s performed at various festivals and even one sci-fi convention.
Inspired Quill is a (non-profit) social enterprise, which means that we reinvest our profits back into IQ and local communities. Every time you buy one of our inclusive fiction (or non-fiction!) books, you’re helping us to help others.
We’re currently partnered with Derbyshire LGBT+ to get books in the hands of folks who may otherwise not have access to diverse reading in a safe environment. So for every 10 books we sell through our site (including ebooks!), we’re donating 1 paperback to them.
