The Wightblade Chronicles

WELCOME TO MY BOOKS

THE WIGHTBLADE CHRONICLES:

This is the collective name for the series of books set in the fantasy world of Terra Nostra. It is a planet with mythical links to Earth, passed down from the dawn of its ancientology (history). Terra Nostra is centered around Ephaleon, the Hoardlands of Dukedomberg and the Heredian Islands. The rest is mostly unexplored, though alluded to in some old mysterious maps. In chronological terms, the first book begins in 1821 MCO (Modern Cycle-of-Octaves). It is set in an approximate medieval/renaissance society, with its own unique twists and, of course, magic. Kinsfolks live alongside elves, dwarves, fairies, halflings and many others.

The story centres on a group of individuals at the Academium (University) of Ventorium in Ephaleon and their adversaries.

So, how best to describe the Chronicles of Wightblade? Epic Fantasy created by in depth world building, quirky by nature, combining magic, adventure, excitement, romance and much more besides.

THE CHANGE OF REIGNS - Book Four of the Wightblade Chronicles is the latest in the series to be released as eBook and paperback. See the Wighblade Chronicles page for details.

NEWS & EVENTS

Here you can find the latest news, events and updates

Hi everyone. Here we are, suddenly in December where lots of festivities await! To be honest it's been quite a whirlwind last couple of months, especially on the writing front. I hope you like the banner.

So, deep breath and here is the rapid catch up!.

I attended the CYMERA writers conference in Edinburgh in November. Well worth it, excellent day, well presented and lots learned plus the more obvious bonus of networking. There was a workshop mash-up, where my dark elf ended up with a crystal skull trying to get him to go to a dental appointment. Well, they do say there is no limits to the imagination.

I have finished writing the first draft of 'In Pursuit of Perfection', the 3rd DJ novel.

Made some progress on second draft of The Threads of Destiny (Book 5 of the Wightblade Chronicles).

Also continued with the second draft of 'The Sorrowsmile Meadows' - a contemporary/ historical supernatural novel.

A.I.M.E, my Sc-Fi Thriller, based on what could happen with AI, achieved Book Cover Finalist in the Page Turner Awards 2025. I also attended the online awards ceremony - another brilliant night. A.I.M.E also won the second place (silver) award in the 2025 Book Dragon's Literary Award Adult Fiction.

Did the Novel-November challenge, which replaced NaNoWriMo and is broadly the same. Completed the 50000 word challenge and the 4th DJ novel, 'Where the Dead Live' got it's kickstart.
