Breakout. Escape The City. Stay Alive. Sixteen-year-old David Simmons is on a mission to save his eight-year-old sister. In a smoldering world infested with walking cadavers, the survivors of Simmons infantry reserve unit are going hatches down in a pair of armored personnel carriers and everyone knows that it's only a matter of time until their fuel runs dry. There's a weak short wave radio signal from a place called Sanctuary Base and it's supposed to be zombie-free. But there's more than a thousand miles to cover, a biting, unforgiving cold, armed survivalists, legions of the living dead and someone called SUNRAY. Eight teens. A dying world. An unspeakable evil. They're outgunned, outnumbered and out of time. This tense young adult thriller offers a terrifying vision of survival in a post-apocalyptic world where the bonds of friendship and family are the only things left that are worth fighting for.

Each baby born beneath the waves is killed--with one exception: the one hundred thousandth is spared. There's one rule shared between the island's tribes: don't touch the water. When Cressa-la breaks this law, her world, and body, changes. Sure, change is normal... but when has growing scales ever been normal? • • • Watty Award Winner 2015: Best Use of Visuals • • • Each baby born beneath the waves is killed--with one exception: the one hundred thousandth is spared. Among the spared, magic chooses a rare few, connecting them to the moon or sea. These are the One-Hundreds, mermaids and humans with the power to save the world-or corrupt it. When Cressa-la breaks the first rule of her tribe and touches the water surrounding her island, everything she knows turns on its head. Talking, sinister dolphins, mind control, and a whole world just under the waves await her on her eigteenth birthday... but she never asked for any of this. All she wanted was to become a Tribe Leader and take care of her village. It's amazing how one screw-up can change everything. A relentless darkness reaches for her, wanting her affections for his own twisted purposes. In opposition stands a fractured light, haunted by a painful past where corruption eroded friendship. Unless Cressa-la can bring the darkness to his knees and fight the war raging inside, the world is doomed. • • • Content warning: This story contains themes of depression and violence.

Aliens... they came, they saw, they conquered. Our world was was nothing to them but an asset to be stripped of resources. Even 600 years after the majority of them departed, humanity still struggles to survive in the mess they left behind. Together with their horde of genetically altered life forms and the hostile environment they continue to manipulate, the few remaining alien castaways keep us subjugated and condemned to a life of abject misery. It's a world where only the strong survive. Some worship the alien overlords and some work as their lackeys, but all exist at their leniency. Yet one man has a plan. He is the Strintouri. He comes to unite the clans, destroy the overlords, and cleanse the world of their dregs. He brings hope to a derelict world, but to build anew he must first destroy. Highest Rank in Science Fiction: #30 on May 10 & 11, 2016 !!!!! (But that fact and $2.49 will still only get me nothing more than a cup of coffee)

A story is never a single tale. Two and a half centuries have passed since the Orders of knighthood defeated the demonic threat of the Predation. Now, thanks to the wisdom of the Association of Merchants and the intellect of the Guild of Engineers, the land is thriving once again. Its citizens sleep soundly in their beds, mistakenly believing that the peace will last forever. Templar Rourke has dedicated his life to hunting down the insidious devices of war that the Predation left behind. His search has led him to the besieged city of New Broker, where he uncovers a terrible truth. Now he and the obstinate Forge Guard Warvitch must escape the city to save the land from ruin, but to do so, their collective skills are going to be sorely tested. Meanwhile, Yosh Morrina, accomplished thief and fraudster, leaves civilisation behind to search for his lost love. Rourke and Morrina have never met, but their tales are tied. Their shared story will take you on a journey to a new world's distant corners. From the wealthy streets of Naddaran to the rising sands of the southern desert, and from the sweltering heat of the Cusp Jungle to the storm blown seacoast of the Lost Lands. **PLEASE NOTE. TALES OF ENGINES & DEMONS WILL BE PUBLISHED ON AMAZON ON 14TH MAY. ON THAT DATE, THE MAJORITY OF IT WILL BE TAKEN DOWN FROM WATTPAD, AND ONLY A SAMPLE WILL REMAIN.**

The year is 1888. It is a world where dragons still exist. While being hunted to extinction in Europe and Africa throughout the Dark Ages, they flourished in the jungles of Southern America. They are the gods of the mighty Maya and Inca Kingdoms. Kingdoms that had never been conquered by European invaders, which are still prevailing: as powerful and mighty as on the day when Christopher Columbus discovered the New World. They are also just as wealthy. It is a wealth that often drives the cowboys and treasure hunters of the American settlements down south in search of fame and fortune. And more often than not, it is there that they learn that the fire of a dragon burns hotter than gold fever ever could . . .

The Shadowbearer is made to be a stand alone of sorts and a prelude to Etchings of Power. Etchings and the other books that follow are told from different POVs than the Shadowbearer. They are all part of the interconnected worlds of the Cyclic Omniverse that currently spans 8 books. You can start with any series in the Omniverse. Now, to the blurb: In a world where magic corrupts and kingdoms constantly war, the power that drives the world stirs. It whispers promises of greatness in the heads of the men and women that wield it. Now, it has spoken to the mind of a king. Knight Commander Stefan Dorn, leader of the Unvanquished, has known only war, death and, victory. All in the name of his loyalty to King Nerian the Lightbearer, a man he idolized. Until now. Everything he thought he knew about the King, his people, and his world is coming to an end. At a time when there should be peace, he's once again called to war. Torn between shocking changes at home, his family, loyalty to his men and his King, Stefan wishes only to enjoy life away from the battlefield. But with the new campaign comes a rabid, unforgiving enemy and a potential cataclysm. Follow him as he fights to save his family, his people, his honor, and his birthright from the grips of the shade. Can he save them all? If not, which will he choose, which will he lose? The Shadowbearer is a rousing and engaging prequel to Etchings of Power and a worthy addition to the Aegis of the Gods series. Also free on Amazon, Itunes, and Kobo.
