As part of Kobo’s ‘Fall/Spring Into A New Series’ promotion, my Dominions Box Set (containing the first three novels in this dark Dystopian thriller series) is only 99p/99c. The promotion runs until Monday 29th.
Please note that this promo is only available in Australia, New Zealand and the UK, and is exclusive to Kobo.
I’ve no idea why this has happened, but Amazon has cut the price of my complete Shadows trilogy. Both the ebook and paperback are currently only $4.88 (this reduction appears to only be on the US store). So if the idea of a complete trilogy of sci-fi/horror sounds appealing, grab this bargain now (click here).
Haven’s Deep (ShadowTech Book 4) is now out on all major ebook stores, with the paperback available from Amazon.
It used to be called Haven. The company said it was a simple mining operation. They said it was safe.
They said a lot of things.
Now called Haven’s Deep, the company’s expanded base holds a secret—a potential gateway to the Ancients. To the Heralds it’s a doorway to salvation. To Kaiahive it’s a portal to destruction.
And to the crew—to Brice, Deva and the others—it’s one more thing to contend with. As Haven’s Deep draws them closer, they must fight to make the right decisions. And not only for their own lives.
The fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
Haven’s Deep will rise in price in a couple of days, so get it now at the special low price of 99c/99p.
Haven’s Deep (ShadowTech Book 4) will be published on 29th April, but is now up for pre-order (at a low price of 99c or your local equivalent).

Smashwords is running a massive 2022 End Of Year Sale, and all my books are included in it, at 75% off.
So check out the sale at https://smashwords.com/shelves/promos/, and pick up a ton of reading to take you into the next year. And if you want to check out my books (dark Dystopian thrillers in the Dominions series, sci-fi/horror with Shadows, or sci-fi/adventure with ShadowTech), check out my page on the Smashwords store.
A quick technical note: unlike some other ebook retailers, Smashwords don’t have a dedicated reader or app (although you can read through their website). So when you buy and download an ebook from Smashwords you download it, you can read it however and wherever you want*—side-load it to an e-reader, use an app on your phone or tablet, or read it on a laptop. It’s your book, so read it your way.
* More technical note: Smashwords books are in epub format, but Kindles won’t accept epubs directly. There are ways around this, but they involve a little more work. This article (from Dave Chesson at Kindlepreneur) gives three ways to do this.
The title says it all – the third ShadowTech book, Hostile Alliances, is out now. It’s available in ebook from all the usual stores/sites, and in paperback from Amazon.
The Ancients are coming.
When Kaiahive intercepts a signal on the edge of the system, it’s no longer in doubt. Time is running out.
And that increases hostilities between the company and the Heralds, which in turn pushes the shadowy Collective into more desperate actions.
In the midst of this turmoil, the crew are divided. To survive, they must choose their sides. Staying passive is no longer an option. They must decide who they trust, and prove their allegiances.
Get Hostile Alliances before the end of the week-end, before the price goes up.
I’ve wanted to create audiobooks for a while now, but unless I narrated them myself (which wouldn’t work – I’m under no illusions as to what I sound like!), the cost has always put me off. But AI narration has come a long way over the last year or so, and I’ve been experimenting with Google’s AI narration tool.
The results? Honestly, they’re better than I expected. Admittedly, the computer-generated voice doesn’t have the nuance of a decent human narrator, and some passages are a little clunky, but there’s clear expression, and it sounds almost natural.
I’ve worked on some of my shorter books to start with, and they’re only available on Google at the moment (except for one that I’ve also put onto YouTube). Because this is an experiment, they’re short works, and they’re AI narration, I’ve currently set the audiobooks to free.
Give them a listen. I’d love to know what you think.
