edit data

Petrina Binney is from 1980s south London. Daughter of a nurse and a carpenter, she spent much of her childhood writing stories to bring into school for whatever the eighties English equivalent of 'Show and Tell' was called.

She spent her teenage years avoiding all manner of naughtiness, instead writing copious amounts of self-indulgent poetry and reading multiple Brontes and Daphne Du Maurier.

In 2015, she hosted her first ever dinner party and, due to a heavy stomach and a slight bout of alcohol poisoning, dreamt up the character of Fiona Weaver-King.

Book Review – Wasp Canyon by Danielle McCrory

First published, 2021

‘Early summer can be a miserable time in southern Arizona. It’s hot, it’s monotonous, it’s boring. No one wants to go outside and sweat and swelter in the heat. So they stay locked inside, watching Netflix and praying that the air conditioner doesn’t break. A few brave souls will venture out in the early morning hour
