Danny wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory of the past eight years—blown away by a single bullet.
Now his partner, Ellie, tells him their 5-year-old daughter, Kacey, is missing—believed to have been abducted by a notorious child killer known as the Kingsford Stalker.
As Danny searches for answers, the trail of evidence starts to lead uncomfortably close to home, and he begins to realise:
What if he isn’t the victim… but the monster they’ve been hunting all along?
With his daughter’s life on the line, Danny must confront the darkest parts of his own mind to uncover the truth about the man he became—before it’s too late.

His fiction focuses on human behaviour, connection, and the quiet tensions that shape the choices people make when faced with change, loss, and meaning.
The Ashes of Eden is his debut novel — a dark psychological thriller about a man who wakes with no memory of the last eight years, a missing daughter, and a truth far more devastating than anything he could have imagined. Further stories are currently in development.
