Work in Progress
At the moment, I'm working on book three of the epic fantasy series, The Ballad of Sir Benfro. Set in the rustic land of Gwlad,
it tells the tale of Benfro, an young dragon hatched into a world where his kind have been hunted near to extinction. Can he escape
from the clutches of evil Inquisitor Melyn, and is there any truth in the legend of another world, where dragons roam free?

Pedalling Uphill Slowly
A sly tale of bicycling angst and short trousers. Pedalling Uphill Slowly is the tale of Duncan, Stephanie, Francis and James
as they make their way from a hill farm in North-East Fife, by bicycle through the highlands to the very edge of Scotland and back
again. It tells of their trials and tribulations, their arguments and their problems overcome. It is a tale of discovery in a
country all thought they knew well, of high adventure and low farce sometimes only minutes apart. Above all it is the story of
one last grasp at freedom before the weight of adult responsibility comes crushing down.

Running Away
The first in the Charybdis Sequence of Science Fiction novels, Running Away is an epic adventure of galactic empires,
magic and the cold religion of the stars. It is a blend of science fiction and fantasy, of magic and technology. The first in a
series chronicling the end of an era, of an Empire turned evil by the inevitable corruption of bureaucracy and aristocratic pride.

Jacob
The Son of God is late for the second coming. Can the forces of good muster in time, or has the devil already won?
The devil has been on earth planning her triumph for twenty-five years. Every eventuality has been considered and allowed for.
It is a complicated plan, but one which will see her revered as the Messiah for evermore. Jacob has only just found out the truth
about his heritage. He hasn’t got a clue what he’s meant to be doing. As the battle lines are drawn and the reluctant players
form up for the game, will good once more prevail, or is it evil’s turn?

Head
Just beneath the veneer of ordinary life there is a world of lust and murder, magic and mayhem.
Careful how you tread, the ice is very thin.
Scratch the surface of mundane life and there exists a certain kind of madness. It is a world of magicians, dwarves and vampires;
a place where ordinary people find temptation and willingly give themselves to its rutting, primal beast.
It is a place where honour and decency are lost to a sea of sexual perversion, instant gratification and voyeuristic lust.
A lawless world of greed and anger and hate. Welcome to the world of the Head.
