Slaves of Destiny
(Formerly 'The Dragon Mage War')
This is a totally re-thought version of the second full-length novel I ever wrote. I am in the process of giving it a final polish prior to publishing.

In a world where magic shapes the fate of nations, random events are never what they seem.

Makun was a village blacksmith--until powerful men decided his life belonged to them
Lady Laira was born to privilege--until an act of violence sold her into slavery
Their lives should never have touched. Yet when fate brings them together for a fleeting moment, a single act of kindness will forge a bond neither of them can escape.
But beyond the struggles of Makun and Laira, the three major kingdoms are preparing for something greater.
Across the land, runours abound of a Power soon to rise--a power that could make its bearer master of the world. And every throne is determined that Power will belong to them.
When the struggle truly begins, Makun and Laira will discover that they are not merely the victims of fate. They are the Slaves of Destiny.

Those Who Seek
A modern Grail Quest
This novella is complete and out with a couple of Beta readers

Colin Kerr: a man who has betrayed himself.

Ensnared in the citys underbelly of crime, his life is no longer his own. Escape seems impossible.
Until one reckless choice changes everything.
Stripped of his name and his past he becomes Seeker, trapped in a nether-world ruled by primal powers and haunted by forgotten truths. Somewhere within lies the purpose which he had long since sacrificed.
But the Wasteland does not forgive weakness, and the true Question is not what purpose he once had...but whether he can live up to it moving forward.
For the Grail is not found.
The Grail is earned.

Those Who Seek: A Grail Quest for the Modern Age

Dreams, Monsters and Distant Stars
I have already written a large number of theses stories, but still have some left to write.

'Dreams, Monsters and Distant Stars' brings together twenty short stories spanning fantasy, the supernatural, and science fiction.

From the humorous to the horrific, these tales transport you to worlds of knights and wizards, vampires and demons, androids and time travel - each story a doorway into the strange, the dangerous, and the unexpected.

Twenty stories. Twenty worlds. One unforgettable journey.

My Planned Books

Over the years, I have written a lot of novels (see My Bio for details) and, while they are not yet ready for publication, I intend to work on them all and get them to a publishable form as soon as I can.
Note: All the titles listed here are working titles only, and may well change before publication.
See my Home Page for new updates on my progress.

Stellar Breach
(formerly 'Range: Point Oh One Lightyears') a science fiction novel that creates some back-story for A Dream So Real
I have started writing this, but have put it on hiatus while I finish off the above books

The Bramble Plot
A light fantasy novella about the misadventures of a retired couple and the gnomes who inhabit their allotment plot

Journey of Innocence a high fantasy about a boy becoming a wizard's apprentice and discovering a deeper secret about himself

Dreambase a cross-over fantasy in which two men learn to become wizards

The Brotherhood a high fantasy in which a newly ordained priest must do battle against the entities ravaging his land.

'The Awoken' Series Urban fantasy. Linked stand-alone novels comprising of:
      Soul Debt
      The Dragon's Path
      Twelve Hides
I have complete first-draft manuscripts for Soul Debt and The Dragon's Path but they will need a lot of work to bring them up to strength. Twelve Hides is only a series of ideas at the moment.
Beneath the surface of the modern world lies a vortex into a darker dimension than any human can imagine in his worst nightmares.
Against this are the Awoken, reincarnated guardians who keep the world safe and blissfully unaware of the horror lurking just beneath the surface of Reality...
Each novel has its own story line, with a linking story arc tying the three together.
(This series explores the 'Experts' first featured in Dilemmas of Darkness and taken further in Courage in Darkness)

AND...in addition to all these, should I get a few spare moments in the down-time between writing first-draft and revision (and I fully intend to!) then I have ideas for more short stories and novellas which I will squeeze out as and when I can.

Watch This Space!
I am planning to produce quite a library!
