The Dream Catcher Update

Since announcing The Dream Catcher project, at the end of June, we have been contacted by authors, publishers, reading groups, story writers and readers, and the just plain curious.

The Dream Catcher is now more than just an idea. It's a living, breathing and evolving catchment of talent. Latest to hop on board was Nina De La Mer, an author who dazzled us with her debut novel, 4 a.m. Read our review here.

Nina's publishers, the Brighton-based Myriad Editions, are sending a copy of Ed Siegle's recent novel Invisibles. Ed first caught our eye with On the Level, published in the acclaimed anthology The Illustrated Brighton Moment.

Invisibles itself takes us on a journey from the streets of Brighton to the bars of Rio. Ed weaves the rhythms of Brazil and the troubles of his characters into an absorbing story of identity, love and loss. At once familiar and foreign, this sweet, sad and compulsively readable first novel throngs with visceral memory and unbreakable ordinary heroes.
