Goodbye 2025, the year the journey started
What a twelve months. Printed my first novel, launched two new novellas, attended my first author event and started work on the next major novel. It has been a massive year, one that has seen 1300+ eBooks downloaded and physical books purchased around the world.
Read more, here.
Thank you to all my readers, reviewers and friends for walking beside me on this journey. I could not do it without you.

I love apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction. When it is done well, the collapse of civilisation and all that we know is captivating. In Stage 3, Ken Stark does it well. There are a lot of Zombie stories around, but Ken manages to find that point o ...more |

“Turning away from his father was wrenching, and Samuel heard his quiet sobbing as he walked out of the kitchen and started climbing the stairs. His dad was his rock, was the solidity and strength that underpinned the family. Seeing him like this was beyond unsettling, it was shattering. His father was their strength, his mother their heart. Together, they were his life, and not only was he leaving them, leaving everything he had ever known, he was also breaking them.”

“Only the Shepherd guides us along a path where our actions enrich ourselves, those around us, and indeed everything that lives in this world. It is a path of fulfilment, longevity, and renewal. The Church exists to help people find that path and to walk it when, at times, it can seem impossibly hard and its rewards painfully out of reach.”

“Inch by inch he rose, scraping up from a reality of nothing toward a dream of something. It was a journey of blood and pain. It was a near impossible climb on something broken that brutally resisted his advancement and promised to break him.
It was the physical embodiment of his life.”

After a great deal of thought and amazing feedback, 'Legacy & Portents' is now 'Chosen of the Dark Realm'.Thanks to everyone for their feedback and beta reads.
Update. The pixie-mermaid-fairy's fish died. We are disappointed, but not entirely surprised, at the sudden departure of the enigmatic aquatic animal; however we are quite surprised at the pixie-mermaid-fairy's nonchalance. Rest in peace little fishy.
