Lena Aspden writes book club fiction about ownership, love, and the paperwork in between. A Dog Called Lucy sets a dying dog, a twelve year old microchip form, and a courtroom against each other in Liverpool. The question underneath it is blunt: what does it mean to own a creature that loves you, and do you have to know a thing is true before you let it save you?

Leave to Remain
Two cooks in one Liverpool kitchen, and a deadline neither of them read properly. There is no villain in this story. There are five letters, each one colder than the last, and a last supper that nobody knows is the last.
