Writers often talk about the pain of finishing a first draft and discovering that they’ve written 120,000 words when they were aiming for 80,000. Then comes the agonising process of cutting scenes, killing darlings, and somehow losing 40,000 words without destroying the story in the process. I have the opposite problem. I’m an underwriter. Give…

My Mythical Menagerie series follows the adventures of Ambrose Davids, a young man who lives in London. Over the course of four books, he travels quite extensively. He visits Paris, Rome, Germany, Malta, Greece and a number of other places – sometimes by rather unconventional means – but London is always home. Now I’m planning…

When I wrote a throwaway line six years ago about my main character’s love interest having a brother who’d gone missing while backpacking in Thailand, I had no idea I would eventually write the story of what happened to him. At the time, Ben Miller barely existed as a character. He was simply Sarah’s missing…

If you thought we were done with the Mythical Menagerie series – then you were wrong! Hunter’s Calling is the prequel story no one asked for, but that I couldn’t resist writing. It’s the origin story that explains how Stalker became the man Ambrose clashes with time and time again. He came to Thailand looking…

Forget the beautiful, singing mermaids of popular culture. In Asian folklore, mermaids can look like human-faced fish and may have flesh capable of granting centuries of life. Which, frankly, is much more interesting. I’ve always loved mythology, strange creatures, and the idea that there might be bits of magic hiding just out of sight in…

Myth Bringer, the final book in the Mythical Menagerie series, is finally here! If you’ve been wondering ever since the day Ambrose discovered the hidden Repository – and the creatures locked inside it – what would happen to them, the time has finally come. I used to think mythical creatures needed protecting. Turns out, the…

If you’ve been following my books for a while, you might notice something new: the Mythical Menagerie e-books are now in Kindle Unlimited. For the past nine years, the series has been available on multiple e-book platforms (Amazon, Kobo, Apple, etc.). But recently I took a proper look at the numbers, and the difference between…

It’s release day for A Whisper of Reverie, the final instalment (at least for the foreseeable future) of my Reverie Flash Fiction series. And I honestly think it contains some of my best fantasy flash fiction stories to date! To celebrate release day, the e-book is $0.99 for a limited time. You can grab your…

As part of planning my writing goals for 2026, I’ve made the decision to wind down and close my Ream subscription. This wasn’t an easy choice, but after a year of trying the platform, it’s become clear that it’s not the right fit for where I am in my writing career right now. I wanted…
