Books I’ve written so far…
Displaced – Out Now
Society is rebuilding upon the ruins of the old world, hundreds of years after climactic events. To the east remains a vast lifeless wasteland, off-bounds to the world, plagued by a toxic haze… and rumours of something unnatural within it.
Tensions heighten between two of the largest settlements when the border is violated and blood is spilt. Luther, Head of Security in Carbon City, must investigate to lessen the risk of a war breaking out, while Zara, one of those involved in the conflict, finds herself lost in the wasteland. Believed to be an uninhabitable place, she quickly realises she is not alone.
Elsewhere, Shelby is kidnapped and forced to take part in a dangerous mission in the heart of the wasteland.
Displaced by events beyond their control, will Luther, Zara and Shelby find what they need before it’s too late?
Disarray – Releasing 14th October 2025
On the remnants of the old world, society rebuilds.
But war looms, and a toxic haze grows.
Luther pushes ahead with his grand plan of securing safety for his city – using deceit and violence.
Zara is hunted as a wanted criminal and finds herself pushed deeper into the Forbidden Zone, unravelling mysteries of the past along the way.
Shelby continues to desperately try to make his way home, but his efforts only plunge him further into the fray, and he finds himself entangled with the enemy.
With the world around them falling into Disarray, will Luther, Zara and Shelby find safety – and home?
Where to buy Disarray?
Disarray is available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle format, though only the Kindle version can be pre-ordered.
Alternatively, you can pre-order the paperback directly from me if you’re in the UK! You’ll get a signed copy of Disarray as well as four character bookmarks shown in the photo below. It’s worth mentioning that the paperback version ordered here is produced by IngramSpark and not Amazon.
If you’re not located in the UK and would still like a signed copy - drop me a message and I’ll see what I can do!
For the sake of transparancy, the listing for Disarray on my website is litte bit more expensive than the retail price on Amazon to help me with postage costs.
This will be a limited run but I plan to restock when I can, so feel free to hang tight or send a message if stock disappears!
