1 y separately published work icon The Fascination of Jeremy Fairweather Jo Seysener , Australia : Little Quail Press , 2020 21100211 2020 single work novella historical fiction

'Jeremy Fairweather’s ennui is killing him.

'Living in his father’s home and groomed as a peer-of-the-realm, Jeremy lives the life of a bored lordling endlessly seeking the amusement that eludes him.

'The usual string of minor social misdemeanors fails to discourage his father’s tight grip on his apron strings, and Jeremy decides to get himself committed as a lark. Inside the walls of Barrow Haven, he discovers friendship with a new alienist, and the family he lacked in his usual life.

'When his father removes him from the asylum, Jeremy’s ennui is restored, and he will do anything to return to the sanctuary of Barrow Haven.'
