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…

It’s that time of year again, when the interwebs are flooded with best-of lists and motivational memes. I’m a sucker for all of it and I still strongly believe that setting goals are the only way to get things done. I might add, update or even discard plans as the year inevitably throws some curve…

I’ve always had a soft spot for all things mythological, so imagine my delight when I came across an article in the October 2025 issue of National Geographic History all about the fantastic beasts of the Middle Ages. Medieval bestiaries are such a wonderful blend of imagination, symbolism, and questionable zoology – and this article…
