new novel

"Family Portrait" is now renamed "The Montague Portrait". Just passed 27,000 words, closing in on about 1/3 of the way in and shaping up nicely.

My 4th novel "Asylum" is currently out for proofing, so hope to launch it soon.

New novel "Asylum"

My new novel "Asylum" is now available, but it will be free on Amazon on 03/08/2013 to the 03/10/2013.

The new novel from the author of the UK Amazon Horror Chart #4 hit “Gated”

Blackwater Heights is a building with a long dark history, some of it is well known but more is shrouded in myth and legend. None more so than that of its founding father Horace Whisker.

Martin Parcell is an ex-journalist with shattered dreams of an author’s career. Sidelined through a car crash’s injuries, he finds himself forced through governmental austerity measures having to take a custodians position at a private mental health hospital. A writer with undoubted talent, but an author without a story.

He begins his new job deep in depression and drowning under waves of his lost dreams. On his first night he meets Jimmy, his elderly supervisor who has spent most of his life within the hospital walls. Jimmy is nearing retirement age and desperate to rest his weary bones. Jimmy offers Martin a way out for both of them, access to the background histories and stories of the hospital’s patients. A collection of 13 tales from the darkly disturbed minds of the residents of Blackwater Heights.

As the long night unwinds, Martin finds himself deeply troubled as the tales unfold before him and threaten to drag him down into their insanity.

Abra-Cadaver on its way

My new novel "Abra-Cadaver" is now out for proofing. I'm pretty pleased with the book and hope that others enjoy it. I should be launching it sometime soon.

A blend of horror and thriller with murder and mystery.
