A a long time fan of RE Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs, this is my homage to the greats. It’s got sentient apes, a barbarian hero with a gentle heart, earth magic and of course – dragons!
In a land of endless Winter, two heroes are born. Jana has the magic of trees, Grieve has something…other than magic.
An oath to save their world will shape their destiny. End the Winter brought by the Ice Lord and his demons.
Enslaved by the ice demons, Grieve’s path to discovering his dark heritage will force him to become a gladiator, dragon rider, and pirate. Jana battles the lure of the dark side of power as she strives to control her magic.
It’s not going to be an easy journey. But there will be dragons.
Wintersun is an old school epic fantasy quest with fabulous beasts and extraordinary heroes.
This is the novel, the one that made me realise I was a writer. It was born from the dark tunnels of underground mining and a thesis on acid mine drainage that had me exploring the darkest recesses and abandoned areas. Add in a treasure and a quest, and a ship load of mercenaries and I had a novel that has one liners, badass women, bad guys, mutants and a planet the like of which you have never seen. Can they survive it? Can they survive and outwit each other?
Renegade female mercenaries and hired killers.
A treasure hidden for a thousand years.
But old secrets never die – and some treasures should remain hidden.
Inside a planet wide labyrinth of mining tunnels, metal processing, acid waste levels, and abandoned cities is a thriving, genetically engineered ecosystem of predators, prey, and mutant humans. Constantly evolving and always hungry.
It’s a race against time as the teams fight to survive the planet and each other.
There are no prizes for coming second.
Get there first – or die.

Always wondered what it would be like to be a geologist? Or how about an archaeologist? Say g’day to Sandra and Dan in this contemporary romance set in outback Australia that is full of laughter, science, danger, and the occasional possum.
