What Maisie Didn't Know.
The further adventures of the characters from Judy's published novella "Maisie and Mrs Webster" (2018) Synopsis: Maisie is outrageous, fun loving and one of life's rebels. Despite her serious mobility issues, she's excited to be moving into the new flat her "social wonder" has found her. Previously, her closest companion has been Mrs Webster, the spider she's made an Instagram sensation. Now, for the first time, she has neighbours and high hopes it's all going to be just like "Friends". But with a gun in the meter cupboard and strangers turning up day and night, Maisie soon starts to realise that home isn't always where the heart is.

Out Of The Frying Pan
Synopsis: How many artists does it take to solve a kidnapping? Brighton sculptor Vonnie Sharpe’s laid back routine is shattered when her flatmate Gina is carjacked during a bank robbery. Gina’s car is found abandoned on the South Downs but there’s no sign of the quiet young chip shop worker. A worried Vonnie enlists the help of her arty friends in the race to find her. With a singer, actor and busker on her team, she half-wonders if she could’ve got Arts Council funding for her search. Vonnie tracks down the bank robber, who insists he left Gina unharmed in her car. From here the trail twists and turns through art classes, language schools and escape rooms, as she narrows down her list of suspects. A ransom note arrives and it’s Vonnie who the kidnappers want to deliver the money. With the cash drop imminent and not knowing who she can trust, she needs to find answers - and quickly.

Across Time And Space: 11 Feminist Science Fiction and Fantasy Stories

On Mars, a cat helps save the life of their human after a quake. In other stories, a student must live with the consequences of magic gone awry, a cat contrives to go on a bicycle trip, a police robot learns empathy, a captured tiger lashes out, and a young sphinx finds her wings.
