The Mission of Eclecta Perennial

A Haven for Readers Who Love Savouring Books

Do you love fantasy and sci-fi books that take you on an emotional journey, with characters you resonate with, and that don't surprise you with steamy bedroom scenes? Is reading a journey of self-discovery for you, as well as an adventure? 

If so, you've come to the right place. I create stories together with my neurodiverse daughter, and our mission is to integrate timeless, universal themes with the perennial wisdom we've learnt through our own (sometimes heartbreaking) lives to bring you beautiful, thought-provoking stories. 

In short, we write fantasy that meets you in your messy reality and gives you all the feels without the spice, so you can face life again. 

We want to support readers who love immersing themselves in big topics and challenging ideas without the ugly stuff that could easily have been left out; readers who love savouring books and finding deeper meaning in them; readers who want books to be more than a tick on their TBR list. 

That's why I created the Slow Readers Society. Our fast consumer culture doesn't value savouring and inner transformation, so the market is flooded with books designed to deliver a quick dopamine hit. We're different. As part of the Slow Readers Society, you'll get to explore old favourites and find new ones, confident that they'll be free of foul-mouthed and explicit content. 

This is the kind of fantasy we write, it's the kind we want to read, and we want to connect with other readers who feel the same.
