FANTASY

I have a series in the works which will be somewhat-epic fantasy.  The books draw on my love of fantasy from before Tolkein through to tomorrow.  They have a historic bent, but are not conservative.  People die, yet while it gets a bit grim and dark, there is still a chance Good will prevail.  If there ever is a final confrontation, the main characters will be dragged there kicking and screaming.

You will love them.

The first was The Winter Warrior, the story of how an exile’s quest for revenge is hijacked by the gods. An unpopular prince and a troublesome bard only complicate matters – and they are his allies!

It was supposed to be my debut, but it’s currently gathering dust at the back of the hard drive. However, if you like historic epic fantasy that’s modern but respects the finest traditions of the genre, and you don’t hate everything I’ve posted on the blog and twitter, get in touch.

The second (in writing order, not sequence) is Harbinger’s Herald, the story of a boy’s struggle with faith, acceptance and some dangerous secrets. This boy has no special destiny or hidden talent (besides being good at numbers), but he makes a lot of friends (and enemies) along the journey of his lifetime. Also in the trunk, for now.

I also have a third book set around the same global events, and this one is the tale of two (then three) agents/assassins who discover a conspiracy against their eternal Emperor – told from the point of view of the faithful servant who has secrets of her own. Preliminarily-titled Swords of the Second Sun, its almost ready to venture into the wide world – if it interests you, please get it touch.

SCI-FI

 Independent Action is a sci-fi war story I wrote when I was young, excitable and into a lot of fun sci-fi tropes.  Worth a look if you ever liked to watch, read or play Star Wars, BattleTech, StarCraft, Robotech, etc.  I never got around to the planned sequels.

Several years ago it was published and available through all good ebook retailers. However, the publisher ceased trading and the rights are now back with me, so get in touch for a copy.
