So, I write. A lot! I have a fair few full, novel-length stories over there >>>>>>>>> check 'em out. Ummm, please?

I write mainly Fantasy stuff, in various settings; "Patrons' World", "Godworld" (inspired by Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld'), and the "Man of War" series, and that's the genre I enjoy writing the most.

The next favourite genre is Sci-Fi, and I have a couple of those for Sci-Fi fans to read.

Currently Posting:

"I Am War" - A swords & sorcery story in the vein of Conan about a man bent on brutal vengeance.

"Geisha, Killer, Robot, Spy" - A cyberpunk action/adventure.

I have an alternate profile, where I'm currently posting "Petals", a gxg romance with a loveable protagonist called Fliss looking for that someone special. (@JansOtherStories)
