Martin Brown did not volunteer to leave Ireland. Teela did not expect her Journey of Discovery to strand her impossibly far from home. Garden House Nine does not seem to understand why either of those things is a problem. At a place where time and space have become unreliable, an intelligent house has started collecting guests it believes need looking after. Martin and Teela, accompanied by Teela's ribbon-like AI companion Siv, find themselves dealing with runaway alien plants, impossible technology, dragons that may not technically be dragons, and a house whose idea of hospitality has become dangerously literal. Escaping Garden House Nine should solve the problem. Instead, it gives them a ship. Now the travellers aboard the *Morrow* are moving through places and times that do not quite fit together, trying to help the people they encounter while working out where they are, when they are, and whether the universe they left is even the one they came from. *The Elsewhen Travellers* is a cosy-adjacent science-fiction adventure featuring found family, dry humour, quirky AI, temporal mysteries, low-gore stakes and a slow-burn romantic thread. **Volume One: Garden House Nine**
