I Dreamed of You
OUT MARCH 2026
Two students arrive in Edinburgh full of hopes and dreams…and secrets. Their relationship sends them down a path they never imagined.
What if your dreams really could come true?
Dao and Sunny both grow up in Bangkok, but that’s where the similarities between the two end. Dao’s family are well-off and worldly, full of ambition for their daughter. Sunny’s father, meanwhile, wants only for his son to take over the small hardware shop he runs and stop causing trouble. When both are offered the opportunity to come to Edinburgh, Dao to study photography, Sunny to work for his aunt, they jump at the chance.
But Dao has a secret. Whatever she dreams turns into reality around her. Gift, power or curse: she doesn’t know, but when she meets Sunny and recognises him from one of her dreams, she begins to wonder. Might her new friendship turn into something more? Or is her faith in her dreams sending her down a path she’d be better to leave unexplored…
Pim Wangtechawat’s sparkling novel bursts with the magic of friendship and first love, as two unforgettable characters find out what it means to dream.

The Moon Represents My Heart
OUT NOW!
The Wang family are hiding a secret – they all have the ability to time travel. When parents Joshua and Lily depart for the past and never return, their children Tommy and Eva are forced to deal with their grief alone. Eva might be trying to find her place in the present, but Tommy is pulled further and further into a past that he hopes holds the truth. When he falls in love with a woman from a different era, his inability to confront his own history has severe ramifications for the people who can truly bring him happiness.
Heartfelt and hopeful, weaving through decades and across continents and told through incredible prose, The Moon Represents My Heart is an unforgettable debut about the bond between one extraordinary family and the strength it takes to move forward.
