“Just because the war is over, doesn’t mean the story is.”

What happens after a 10-year war? Unity brought the Mortal, Fire, Ice and Earth Nations together to defeat Skull, a pirate army desperate to merge the supernatural world with the mortal.

19-year-old Azar Geminus finds himself at the centre of a bizarre, supernatural mystery. With the war at an end, and his heart broken, his only goal is to reunite with his parents. But this proves more challenging than expected when he learns that they have gone missing. Whilst the city he has lived in all his life begins to expose the darkness that dwells within, Azar finds himself changing in ways he cannot control.

As betrayal, mystery, and danger close in around him, Azar realises that there are three sides to every story: the Nations, the supernatural, and the truth. As one war ends, another, much more personal, is just beginning. And when the fate of the Nations rests on lies, who else can he rely on other than himself?

Morten: The Xahlia Tale

There is something peculiar about Morten and the people who called this place home. Each of the six tribes is protected by their own arcane religion and ordained gift.

A threat from overseas threatens to swallow Morten whole. When the Xanthari tribe loses one of their elite commanders, Xianni, to the enemy, their foundations are shaken as they are forced to form an unlikely alliance with the Dahlia tribe to protect themselves from the impending threat of war. Despite their extensive history of odium and reprisal the forces are compelled to unite.

Xander, a high ranking official of the Xanthari clan and Xianni’s lover, must overcome his grief and lead the Xantharis alongside Xana, Xianni’s best friend, who fills her boots in more than one way. Betrayal and adultery shake the foundations of the alliance and the commanders of both tribes find themselves each fighting their own battle.

A Xanthari relic – four pieces of parchment – become the object of pursuit of the allies and enemies alike as they fight to the death.

Misanthropy

I am in love with someone, someone who is kind and caring.

He comforts me, protects me and makes me feel complete.

Okay, he may have stalked me for a little while without my knowledge, but I did not know at the time, so can look beyond that.

He knows me better than I know myself.

I am an open book to him, despite keeping my feelings closed.

The only problem is… is that he is not from around here…

But why should that matter?

Why should that matter… the word ‘matter’ means more to me now than it ever did!

He is not from around here, because he inhabits our parallel dimension of dark matter.

Dark matter, the substance that science proves exists, yet is unable to explain.

His kind, is what we humans refer to as jinns, spirits or demons…

Should it matter now?

Either way, it is too late…

Love In Cornwall

It was purported that Christopher Hitchens, a journalist, first used the phrase that ‘everyone has a book in them’. If that is the case, then this is mine. Whether it is good or bad is for others to judge. This book was written during the first UK lockdown in 2020 as a means of keeping the brain active. It quickly led on to a second book, not yet published and prompted a third, not yet completed. It is not a police procedural nor is it autobiographical but stems purely from the author’s imagination. The book reflects the author’s love of Cornwall and is set almost exclusively in that county. It also encompasses the love of a newly-found sister and the love for and of a newly-found lover. The theory of Karma suggests that what happens to a person happens because they caused it with their own actions. That sums up the climax of the book.

Legend of the Opal Dragon

A rollicking Outback adventure set in the desert region of South Australia, where illicit Asian opal buyers enlist a couple of bushies from Coober Pedy to find the cave of the mythical Opal Dragon in the Flinders Ranges. A series of events keeps checking their progress on the way, what with camel races, black trackers and two crafty prospectors stopping their headway. Kate, a worker at the local pub, is abducted by the Asians, in an effort to force the two prospectors to reveal the cave of the opalised skeleton of the Australian dragon, Megalania priscus. The local tribal people were right on their tail and stealthily intervened to rescue Kate and spirit her away during the night. The tough Outback Police, a Flying Padre and Army reinforcements were right on the trail of the mobsters, who fell foul of the difficult conditions of the Outback, which caused their downfall. Possibly the spirit of old Arkaroo, the maker of the waterways of the Ranges, intervened to stop the finding of the dragon. As well, a rugged camel catching team saves an injured small dog, Kate learns to ride a camel well for the next races and one of the Coober Pedy protagonists, Chook, and his big dog Bitzer, deals with the knife-wielding crim in a most unusual way. Laconic Aussie humour, like the flies, pervades the story, with the opal dragon having the last laugh.
