Wanderlust & Wordplay is your passport to a life less ordinary.
For years, I believed I couldnât be a writer. Then a guard at the Tower of London urged me to finally write the book about which Iâd only dared to dream. That moment cracked something openâa passion I could no longer ignore. If youâve ever fantasized about living abroad, adore dystopian sci-fi and magical realism, or simply want to champion independent creativity, youâve found your people.
Iâll be the first to admit that Gillian Fletcher isnât the name on my birth certificate. It was gifted to me by a beloved mentor, and like a drag name, it gives me permission to speak boldly and without apology.
My published work includes the short story âVirtually Deadâ in Writing Writers Magazine (Seven Story Publishing), âSay Cheeseâ in The Amazine, and âSea of Intoleranceâ in MiniMag. If you'd like to support my storytelling, you can find the Algorithm of Life novelsâCALLED and TAUGHTâavailable from all major retailers.

My AI Policy
Within Wanderlust & Wordplay, I am the writerâfull stop. All content, fictional and otherwise, is crafted without generative AI. I do use it as an SEO strategist and research assistant, much like a search engine.
While AI sparks creative debate, I wonât dictate how others should create. In my view, concerns about generative AI stem not from the tech itself, but from the human choices that exploit othersâ work. The problem isnât the chainsawâitâs Leatherface.
This Dutch word literally means âhail stormâ but is more commonly used to refer to chocolate sprinkles served on toast. Yes, please.
