The Obsidian Druid: Part One of The Age of Aikana

Arcanoforge: Midnight Metropolis

The Age of Aikana

Epic Fantasy

Three monstrous Tumaris escaped the labyrinthine dungeon beneath the sea. One made its way to the frozen homeland of the Asrai. One blundered its way into the ancient forest of Nymed, and one rose in the city of Armoria, crushing buildings and bone beneath its great webbed feet. Only Dewer—ageless High Lord of the city—knows the truth behind the creatures’ wanton destruction, and he hasn’t trusted anyone with his secrets for over one hundred years.

Arcanoforge: Midnight Metropolis

Sci-Fi Horror

A serialised novel of sunless planets, hallucinogenic mushrooms, daemons, and... pizza rats. 🍕🐀

Tattiana the Blood Seer plies her odious trade in Noctara, the wart on the blackened arse of a lightless planet revolving around a colossal, sentient head. Tattie just wants to break sky and leave Noctara behind forever, but the neon megacity has other plans for her.

The Undead Alliance: A Novella

He’s a stinking, undead carcass with unfortunate brain activity. She’s a human captive, kept alive so her vital organs can one day help sustain her rotting zombie masters. Romeo and Juliet, they ain’t.

Gabriel thought waking up dead was the end of the world, but a new world was just beginning. Unfortunately, it’s an authoritarian hellscape ruled by a decomposing eccentric in a pirate costume.

The Undead Alliance is a truly revolting novella you shouldn’t read if you have a delicate constitution, you’ve just eaten, or the thought of a shrieking head on a pike makes you nauseous.

Blood and Teeth: A Dark Fiction Collection

Exclusive Dark Fiction Collection

An exclusive collection of dark fiction only available to paid newsletter subscribers. Blood and Teeth is an unflinching, otherworldly anthology of gross-out horror and dark fantasy that is either unavailable anywhere else, or would be hard to track down.

If you’d like to support my work by buying a newletter subscription, as well as free weekly injections of writing news and serial fiction, you'll get a copy of Blood and Teeth, ebook copies of all completed serial novels, first dibs on advanced reader copies, and a warm, tingly feeling knowing that you’ve helped to support an indie writer.
