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:

"The Ballad of Purgatory Ridge" - An SF story in the vein of Firefly/The Expanse, about a crew of a space ship struggling to haul cargo in the face of impending war.

"Revels End" - My second Discworld-inspired novel, where a bad playwright is accidentally inspired by a muse and inadvertently places the entire world in danger.

I have an alternate profile, where I'm currently posting "Pillars of Despair", the second book in the epic 'God Pillars' trilogy.
