Reviews & ratings for RISE OF ONE continue to filter in after last fortnight’s launch – it’s *so* exciting to see what people think of the book that I’ve been writing for the past two years. 2021 will bring huge adventures, what with my plan to release Books 2 and 3 of the Blood Brute … Read more
The Blood Brute series started as a simple ‘what if’ – what if vampires had to face a zombie apocalypse? What if the vampires were indoorsy, refined, studious… how would they survive a global pandemic and the fall of human civilization? Five books. Five tales, starting with RISE OF ONE. It’s been such a journey, … Read more
Since RISE OF ONE’s launch, things have been a bit of a blur! However, one thing that’s really stood out are the messages I’ve received, even in the last few days.

Between my mum’s death in January, COVID & moving to WFH full-time, to getting a throat abscess that still messes with the nerves in my throat, 2020 feels like a warped time bubble. However, the huge positive side of 2020 has been writing. Not just publishing my first book under this penname (although, yes, that’s … Read more
With Rise of One’s launch this coming Tuesday, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed with everything, all the last minute marketing bits and pieces to organise, the realization that this is the fruition of over two years of work, the long journey ahead as I write the rest of this five-book series, the pressure of … Read more
RISE OF ONE (out on 15th Dec! So close!) has a prequel short story, ON THE EDGE OF SALT, that’s *free* when you sign up to my newsletter.
