'The 49th Gate'

Book I: 'The Portal' - Releasing February

Book II: 'The Lock'

Book III: 'The Keys: Part I'

Book IV: 'The Keys: Part II'

A dual timeline story that follows the young scribe Elias in the late 16th Century who has been both blessed & cursed by God. And, DI Angus Westmore in the late 2020s, who struggles to solve the murder of a local eminent academic and the senseless massacre of six teenagers while performing what looks like a Satanic ritual

Plus, several standalone parallel short stories to embolden the series.

Autumn 2025

'Light & Dark'

A new short story collection of mixed genre tales including themes of war, psychology and fantasy, often sprinkled in the most unlikely of places with a dash of humour.

Currently on hold, until I write the new opening story. A story inspired by a dear friend who died suddenly in early May 2024. Release pending.

Late 2025 - mid 2026:

'The Conduit'

The sequel to 'Ordinary World'. Nothing can be said yet on what this entails, as it could act as a spoiler to 'Ordinary World' & we wouldn't want that, before you've had a chance to read 'Ordinary World'.

Summer to Autumn 2025:

'The Weird & Unexpected World of Ronald Taylor: The Rescue'

A new novelette that picks up from where the first story ended. It unites Ronald's family and takes them on an adventure into the heart of the Fey Kingdoms.

The Ebony Children (working title) Release date unknown.

A new fantasy trilogy following Anatoli, an Ebony child, as he discovers his origins against the backdrop of what happens to the dead; ignorance, hatred, witch craft & a plot to displace the gods.

Others:

A series of novelettes and novellas set on an alternative near future Earth where cyberpunk and fantasy entwine to create a dark world of intrigue, suspense, warring factions & mythology.

Future tales involving Old Abernathy, his nephew, Crispin & the mythos that drives the old bookshop owner to protect an unsuspecting world from the horrors that lurk in time and space.

And many, many more...
