Writing

I've been writing since I was eleven. I wasn't very good at that point, but I like to think I've improved. I was first paid for non-fiction in 1999 and my first published fiction work was in 2007 - a short story called By Zombies; Eaten in GUD Magazine Issue 2.

I published my first novel, The Blood That Bonds, in 2009. Its sequel, Blood Hunt, followed in 2011, and I wrapped up the trilogy in 2012 with The Children of the Sun. All three books have been quite successful and have garnered high ratings and positive reviews across the web. I have recently released my fourth book, The Broken God Machine, a standalone science-fiction novel.

Novellas

These were originally published serially on my old blog, back in the mid-2000s. I've cleaned them up a bit, but they're not at all up to the standard of my published work. Still, many people seem to like them, so I've made them available here!

  • Voices - FREE PDF - The story of a group of young adults living in New York, each blessed with an extraordinary power, and how they come together in an attempt to "do the right thing" with their talents.
  • Persephone's Fall - FREE PDF - A modern retelling of the Greek myth, the story features Persephone, Hades, Zeus and Demeter, but takes place in modern Manhattan. I originally created illustrations for each update, and may some day hire someone with more talent in that department to re-work them.
