Grim Khonsu: Chapter 17

It’s never a good sign when the client can’t be trusted. The argument between Aveline Peron and one of her partners, Colville, gives Grim more questions than answers. Every hunch he follows, things grow murkier — and more dangerous.

Maybe Chief Malo can help. Even though the man hates Grim’s guts.

Why get ebooks from Smashwords? Okay, they don’t deliver directly to your ereader, but neither do they tie you in to a particular device. Buy or download from Smashwords, and you can transfer the book to whatever device you prefer. And if they change their terms-of-service, it doesn’t affect any books you already have — they’re yours, just as if you’d bought a physical copy. There’s none of this ‘buying a licence to read the book, not actually buying a digital copy’ stuff you get with certain other ebook sales sites.

So check out smashwords.com/sale for some bargain holiday reading.

Grim Khonsu: Chapter 14

The case continues. He’s found two dead bodies, dodged attempts on his life, and things continue to grow increasingly complex for Grim. Maybe a talk with the partner of one of the deceased will help.

Tales of Dominions is now out

I’m pleased to announce that Tales of Dominions, the collection of novellas and short stories around my dark Dystopian thriller series Dominions, is now available to buy. The ebook should be available from all the usual stores, and the paperback is available from Amazon.

Life inside the Dome is perfect. Outside, it’s anything but.

Beyond the glass lies a brutal world where power is measured in blood, where loyalty shifts like shadows. Assassins lurk in the darkness, criminal empires clash, and survival means staying one step ahead of the blade.
In these six gripping tales, those who dare to make a difference battle ruthless enemies — and their own demons. And when mercy is a weakness, there’s no guarantee of a happy ending.

Tales of Dominions includes the short stories Animus, Impact and Gatekeeper. It also includes the novellas Errant and Expedient, alongside Control, a story that has previously only been available to mailing list subscribers. This is the first time any of these stories have been available in paperback.
