The Thief-Taker’s Apprentice (unpublished)
When Berren makes the mistake of stealing a purse from a thief-taker, it should have condemned him to a short and brutal life in the slave-mines. So when the thief-taker offers to train him as an apprentice instead, he can’t believe his luck. The thief-taker has secrets of his own, though, and Berren is soon sucked into a faraway war, filled with mercenary soldiers, necromancers who brew potions that can change your destiny, and a psychotic girl-princess with a penchant for cutting pieces out of her lovers’ souls.
Vicarious (unpublished)
In the near future, an experiment with a psychic weapon goes awry. At the turn of the second millennium, lizard-men are loose in the London underground. As the world dances to disco and flares, a pair of burglars break into a house and wish they hadn’t. In the dying years of the nineteenth century, an archaeologist arrives at the British Museum with a collection of artefacts from near the recently-discovered ruins of Troy. And thousands of years ago, a man dying in a desert finds a mask.
The Metamorph (unpublished)
In the uncivilised kingdoms of the far south, a temple has been assaulted. Priests have been killed and a book has been stolen. Chalin the Black is the only survivor; and whether he likes it or not, he is ordered to help Riven, Holy Sword of the Living God, to retrieve what was stolen and bring justice to those who murdered his brothers. Yet all is not as it seems, for the thief is none other than the Grey Priest, whose touch turns men to ash, the book is much more than a book.
Corruption (unpublished)
Rafael and Safaya were training to be priests when the war ripped them apart. Safaya completed her devotions in the safety of the moon-realms and has become a witch-hunter. Rafael has become a scholar, studying the mysteries of the Kresh, the mysterious enemy who appeared out of nowhere and then vanished again so abruptly. Then Rafael is given a task: To solve the riddle of the walking dead that have plagued the empire since the end of the war; and half a continent away, a Moonherald is murdered, and Safaya finds herself hunting something that is a lot more than a witch.
Dominion (unpublished)
Myla is a disgraced rich-girl with a pair of swords and a temper. Seth wanted to be a priest, but they threw him out for carrying a taint. Fingers is quite happy being a thief. Together, they live a quiet life of urban crime in the Spice Market district of Varr, capital of the great Arian Empire. Then the mysterious Sulfane approaches them with with an offer they can’t refuse; inexorably they find themselves drawn into the intrigues of mages and princes, priests and emperors, and into a conflict that threatens the existence of everything they know. Willing or not, each of them must choose a side; and then they must face the consequences of their choice.
Bloodline (unpublished)
This is the first novel I wrote that I thought was any good. I got a fair way through the self-publishing route with this. Twenty-five copies were printed and Amazon lists it (although it’s impossible to actually get hold of it). Bloodline got me my agent.
Short Stories
The Snow Fox (New Horizons, 2008)
Probably the first thing I ever finished that was worth reading, this started life as an exercise in descriptive prose and ended up surprising me. With thanks to Lord Byron.
