I've always loved to read. But the words would not let me alone so now I write them too.

Wide and varied taste in reading, ScFi, Fantasy, Gothic, Horror, Vampyres, Contemporary, and Classics: anything written well. Particularly like Urban Sci-Fi / Magic and Steampunk, and all things Anime.

Love to explore characters in extremis and the bonds and motivations that make us reach for the sky, fly, and escape the bonds that would otherwise keep our feet firmly on the ground.

The stars are there, why not reach for them, even if only in our imagination :)
​

Favourite pastime, good coffee, not too quiet cafe, and of course a good read.

Evanescence

Gothic, Horror

In 1746, Don Augustine Calmet, a respected erudite and renowned Benedictine Monk, learned in, and a prolific publisher of works on Philosophy and Theology, visited by the Enlightenment Philosopher Voltaire, published a Tome on Demons, Spirits and Revenants or Vampires in Hungary, which was expanded and reprinted in 1751. How did this stalwart figure of the Church and prolific Theological writer develop an interest in Eastern European Folklore and Tales of Vampires and the macabre? 
​

It starts in a crypt in Abbaye de Saint-Evre de Toul, in NE France and something Ancient long held from the light, bound by a corrupt Order and a Scholar searching for answers to a hidden riddle.

As Fierce as Any Dragon

Picture
SciFi

From across the immeasurably vast distance of cold empty intergalactic space, a millennia old horde approaches. 

They hunger. 

The Dark draws near. 

Young girl encounters an Unknown Craft crash landed nearby. 

Ex Military Special Forces Mother goes to investigate, unwittingly carrying the Young Girl who has stowed away.

A story with themes that have always interested me: courage, determination and the will to succeed, what motivates people to act, and how people behave, in extremis; strong female leads, with a twist at the end. 
​

The Short story is part of a Trilogy. The second part System Entry is now Live and available on Amazon. The third will be released during April 2017.
