Yuko Zen Is Somewhere Else.
'Yuko Zen Is Somewhere Else' is my first novel.
After many years of starting to write a book, getting to around 20,000 words and then giving up, I had the idea for a horror novel that seemed to have legs.
After writing half of it, I decided to scrap most of the scary elements and go with a quirky tale about love, loss and what might have been.
'Yuko Zen' recieved high praise on Authonomy and received gold medal status.
Thanks to those lovely people at Pankhearst, it is now available as an ebook and in paperback! Click here to go see!
My name is Yuko Zen and I am somewhere else....
My name is Yuko Zen and I am somewhere else ... After a strange encounter with a beautiful girl in a Chinese take-away, Chris Winter discovers she's left her journal behind. He only opens it to search for her contact details, but he's quickly pulled into her mysterious world – a nameless Asian city filled with tales of Buddhist dogs, hedgehogs and yogurt pots, and a magical girl named Pixie. When Chris is totally hooked, Yuko's journal takes an unexpected turn. It starts to talk to him ... Magical (sur)realism for Young Adults of all ages, editors at Harper Collins have likened YUKO ZEN to works by Audrey Niffenegger and Haruki Murakami.
