Traitor's Prize
One man’s treason is another man’s loyalty. The crown itself may be the traitor’s prize.
William Penmere dispatches his bodyguard Sir Hugh to rescue a woman claiming to be Sophie Hurstwood, the woman he was meant to marry. But with the enemy pillaging Hurshire, can Hugh reach her before Stuart Esden? The Usurper’s son has been tasked with crushing dissent in Hurshire, and brings sword and fire to the earldom. Meanwhile, William is trapped in Norshire. Cut off from retreat and reinforcements, he must destroy an enemy far more powerful than himself, or lose his throne. And his head. Armies are mustered and cities besieged, but it’s the smiler with the knife who makes the nobles tremble. Amazon UK Amazon US Smashwords Kobo Barnes and Noble |
Sir Edric's Kingdom
When King Lawrence is poisoned and consigned to his sickbed, Sir Edric Greenlock, the Hero of Hornska, is thrust into the position of Lord Steward. But with the King half-dead and vultures circling, Sir Edric soon discovers running a kingdom is about as relaxing as being a gorgon’s barber. Aided by his trusty manservant Dog, Orff No-Balsac the man-eating slaver, his feisty paramour Corkwell, and the sorceress Lysandra, Sir Edric must navigate his way through the murky scheming of murderous conspirators and fend off invasions to keep the kingdom, and himself, in one piece.

But Karena knows the surest defence is attack, and will stop at nothing to destroy any rival to her brother... or herself.

Sir Edric’s Temple: When Sir Edric Greenlock, the Hero of Hornska, is summoned to attend the King in the dead of night he fears imminent execution. The King, however, has something else in mind. Priceless royal seals have been stolen, and the King dispatches Sir Edric to retrieve them in a mission that could optimistically be described as suicidal. Along the way he'll battle rockheaded golems, terrible sorcery and the Ursk: a race of brutal slavers who consider humans to be edible currency. Accompanied by his pathologically loyal manservant Dog, the prudish elf Lysandra, and a man called Colin, he must travel to the Unholy Temple to retrieve the royal seals from a mysterious thief. Sir Edric’s Treasure: It isn't always nice to be wanted, as Sir Edric discovers when an enormous bounty on his head attracts bounty hunters to him like dung attracts flies. To escape near certain capture, he embarks on a daring quest to pay off his bounty by winning the inheritance of the dying, and obscenely wealthy, Archibald Thrift. Accompanied by his trusty manservant Dog, Raella the librarian and Belinda, a ten foot nun, he must find the Eye of Wisdom to win Archie's wealth. But he'll need all his cunning to best his rivals for Archie's legacy, and the bounty hunters won't give up their prey easily... Buy at Amazon UK Buy at Amazon US Buy the limited edition hardback |

Prey: Seven Tales of Beastly Terror is an anthology of horror stories put together by seven authors from all over the world. Each story has an animal theme, and all proceeds go to animal charity (WWF). For those with a sympathetic bent towards the creatures we inhabit this planet with, imagine with glee the prospect of their asserting themselves in a supernatural capacity. As in life, not all the animals win out in the fictions contained within these short stories, but none go quietly, either. As can be expected from a collection of yarns penned by authors from around the world, their settings are also global: the outreaches of steamy Thailand, the forbidding forests of Pennsylvania, the myriad islands of the Andaman Sea, the windswept plains of Texas, the wide reaches of Australia, the cold spaces of London, and the dark backwoods of an unnamed location. All contributors’ proceeds go to the World Wildlife Fund, in the hope that horror will one day only be found in the pages of fiction, rather than in reality where animals and their habitats are decimated, and many end up on the brink of extinction. It includes my own short horror story: Project Phoenix Buy it at Amazon (UK) Buy it at Amazon (US) |
