Welcome to the website for Yezdi, author of acclaimed speculative fiction novels Hold Back the Stars and The Light Between Us.
Hello, I’m Yezdi.
I write speculative fiction – stories that imagine what the world will look like one or two steps beyond where we are now. I like to imagine the impossible and make it possible, even if only on the page!
I live in London, love to read, and I’m Creative Director at the online writing school The Novelry. I spent fifteen years in the film industry at major studios including Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures working on science fiction and fantasy films. So far, I’ve published two novels with Penguin Random House.

Warmly,
Yezdi

Hold Back the Stars
A few years from now, not too far in the future, two people meet.
It’s a classic story of boy meets girl.
Except that it’s not.
When we find them, they have an hour and a half left.
Unless they can save themselves, they won’t survive.
The clock is ticking.
Bittersweet and life-affirming, Hold Back the Stars is the love story of the year.
