Author of the Wightblade Chronicles and other books
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.

​
Train Demon manuscript has now been fully typed up from the handwritten version. I have now started the process most writers either hate, or fear - the hard edit. This will take me a few months, but in the meantime, there are plenty of other things happening. Book 5 of the Wightblade Chronicles is being typed up and am writing a few short stories.
