with *Nuraliah Norasid*, author of *The Gatekeeper* (Ethos Books, 2016). This
event will be held on Zoom.

Publisher’s synopsis of *The Gatekeeper*: “When young medusa Ria
inadvertently turns an entire village to stone, she and her older sister
flee to Nelroote, an underground settlement populated by other non-humans
also marginalised by society. There she becomes their gatekeeper, hoping to
seek redemption and love…until her friendship with a man from above
threatens to dismantle the city she swore to protect.”


*For readers in North America, digital versions of **The Gatekeeper** are
available on Amazon (https://tinyurl.com/y4823neq
<https://tinyurl.com/y4823neq>) and the Google Play Store

Possibilities of the Short Story”* with Ricco Villanueva Siasoco on *Friday
