Having sat on my novel for years while the pressures of life left me too little time to finish it, I’m now almost ready to unleash it on the world.


I have a number of short-stories that you can check out on the site. Some of these form a sort of history of the world in which my novel is set (not required reading for the novel, though fans will spot some familiar names and places popping up in Book 2 — this works whether you read these before or after the novels). I mostly used these as writing practice before getting on with the first novel so they experiment with different aspects.
