"Who is he, that boy across the room that makes his heart squeeze painfully?" For Libby Drew's young protagonists, this sudden attraction is a revelation, the first step on the path to self-discovery. If you're looking for unique, provocative fiction that grabs you and doesn't let go, you've come to the right place: first times as memorable as they are awkward, whether it's that first kiss, that first night, or that first realization that the rules of love aren't set in stone.

If I were sum up my life in four words:

"Why am I here?"

A bit of this, some of that, Q-Topolis will take you to different places. From the real to the fantastical, yesterday, today, tomorrow or to a time and place unknown. Hopefully, the characters will draw you into their lives and their adventures will entertain. Welcome and enjoy.

My mind has always preferred to be elsewhere than the here and now and as a child it was the past, or fiction set in worlds that have never existed, that set me alight and dragged me into libraries and bookshops. Even as a kid I liked creating alternative worlds. My story Terre Nouvelle is set in a world I created in my teenage bedroom to find escape from the grimness of adolescent reality. But creating stories is not the same as generating places in which they might happen, and the creative energy they're drawn from come from deep within. It's from my gayness that I draw it, and so my characters generally live in that alternative place as well as in alternative worlds.
