“an engrossing and imaginative work of fiction with plenty of apocalyptic delights, vivid battles, and tense dramatic moments to offer its readers.“
I would highly recommend Rivers Run Red to fans of immersive fantasy worldbuilding, three-dimensional and in-depth character work, and for dark and dangerous adventure readers everywhere.
Welcome one and all, I think we’ll have fun together!

Readers’ Favourite have reviewed my book and given it a resounding 5 star’s (across all categories in the critique as well). Since I don’t pay for reviews it had sat on their shelves so long I had given up on it ever being picked for review (I still think they are a mostly pay for review site). Anyway, they did, back in June 2022 only I never noticed and they never emailed to tell me so it has just sat there like a prehistoric fossil awaiting to be unearthed (to much?) and now that it has I couldn’t be happier with it.

Latest News
It’s Christmas Countdown deal time. From 8th December to 15th December you can pick up the eBook editions of Rivers Run Red and Shadows Fall from Amazon for only 0.99 in the UK and US. I would love to extend this offer to the rest of the world but Amazon won’t allow it. Only to my two principal markets, so, sorry about that. It’s not like they’re making more money off every book sale than I am, oh wait, they are. You would think Amazon would be happy making more money off every market place.
There is not a lot of other news I am afraid. As those who subscribe (please do!) know already, I’ve been tardy on the newsletter front since the summer and with book reviews in recent months. I have read a lot but most are series I have continued and from the new books I’ve read nothing stands out for a full blown book review so those reads will have to wait for my next newsletter. I would like to say I have been busy beavering away on book 4 and I have, I’m just drawing in the threads of the different story arcs to a conclusion and I hope to complete this over the next few months, work life balance permitting.
So, check back when you can for more news and updates.

Book 4 Chaos Reign
I am not resting on my laurels. Chaos Reign is well under way (about 200k words for people who like to count that sort of thing). I just finished the Chapter, “The Living and the Dead” and have started on the next “A Rabbit Ringed By Wolves” that doesn’t sound good if you’re a rabbit does it? It’s not even about a rabbit, though. Or wolves….
Regretfully, my expectations of releasing Chaos Reign by the end of 2025 have taken a bit of a knock. It was a wildly ambitious target some might say but the truth is, it is going to be a bit of a chunky volume, there is a lot of story coming together that needs page space and damn it, I’m a writer, I will not be rushed. Ah, that’s better, let it all out, me! Anywho, the end is nigh (of the first draft) the different story arcs are coming together I will not G.R.R. Martin you all, I promise!
Quotes of the Month
The universe is chaos and we an infinitesimal part of its whole. The only constant is the past. Those stars in the heavens are not unchanged but roil in ever-evolving motion and energy. It is just that your viewpoint is so far removed you cannot see it. Perspective shapes so much of life. The past guides the future just as each step along the way informs the next. But always remember, the future is uncertain and unknowable. Chaos rules all things. – Sai, Book Two Shadows Fall
Sword and mind must be united. Technique by itself is insufficient, and spirit alone is not enough. – Sword Master Yamada Jirokich
