When the Noise Fades
An Intimate Contemporary Literary Novella
Claire Bennett knows how to be needed. She is less certain what to do when that begins to change.
At forty-seven, her daughter has left for university, her marriage is over, and she has five weeks to clear the seaside house where she grew up.
What begins as the clearing of a family home becomes an intimate, quietly funny story about family, friendship, motherhood, memory, identity, and the lives we discover when familiar roles begin to change.
Available on Kindle and in paperback from Amazon and Lulu.

Our publishing philosophy
Stories that stay with you
We believe the best stories do more than entertain. Our fiction explores human relationships, difficult choices, love, loss and the moments that shape who we become — inviting readers to feel, reflect and remember.
Storytelling beyond words
From manga to illustrated narratives, we explore the power of visual storytelling. Words, imagery, characters and atmosphere come together to create distinctive and engaging reading experiences.
Practical books with a purpose
Our guides, journals, logbooks and activity books are designed to be genuinely useful. Clear language, thoughtful layouts and accessible formats help readers learn, organise, create and navigate everyday life.
Thoughtfully created, whatever the genre
Whether it's a novel, a manga or a practical guide, every publication deserves care and attention to detail. Different stories, different purposes — but the same commitment to quality and the reader's experience.
