About Me
I’ve always had a vivid imagination. While I can’t remember the first short story I wrote, I can say for certain it was outside of school.
I completed my first novel when I was 13 and surprisingly an agent asked to look at it! It was awful and I cringe now that I ever submitted it. But I persevered and by the early 2000s, and the dawn of the internet, I was at it again.
These days I mix genres like it’s going out of fashion. See more information about my titles below!
Salmonweird
A series of supernatural crime comedy books, Salmonweird takes inspiration from the cosy crimes of Agatha Christie and Death in Paradise and throws in some urban fantasy and buckets of humour!
Meet 2,000 years of historical characters thrown together in one tiny fictional Cornish village – including an Iron Age warrior queen, a Roman military officer, a medieval monk, a Cromwellian preacher, a Tudor poet and more!
Book 1 – Salmonweird
Karl thought his retirement to the Cornish south coast would be idyllic and uneventful.
It was until the ghosts arrived and the live residents fled.
But Karl soon has a murder to solve. How do you kill someone who is already dead, anyway?
Book 2: A Salmonweird Sleighing
It’s Christmas and Karl has another case after one much-loved resident seemingly returns to the afterlife of their own accord.
But Karl doesn’t believe it was in any way voluntary.
In Salmonweir, the spirit of Christmas is at risk of becoming all out war – even between friends and lovers.
Horror Zone
I write more horror than anything else. Three titles out so far: the Roman era set scifi horror Phobetor’s Children, the zombie comedy Dead Heat, and the zombie thriller Dead Locks.
A fourth major title called Vulcan City (a steampunk zombie horror) is planned for 2022-3.
Phobetor’s Children
The world’s first sword, sandals, sci-fi and scares epic
It is AD71: after the tumultuous Year of the Four Emperors, Rome at last, knows peace.
But beyond the borders of the empire, something stirs.
Six gladiators travel to Germania to find out what destroyed an important border fort.
