Darker Matter Book II - Wildfire

The Dyroshin fear that their most dreaded prophecy did not conclude when the Destroyer of Worlds and the Outlander clashed in an epic magical battle that destroyed the rift between worlds. But before its destruction, an immensely powerful being from a malign conquering race born of Black Metal found its way through the portal.

Now the Five Lands are again under threat but this time from two foes of unimaginable might. There is only one weapon that may be effective, but it has been lost in antiquity and the very quest for its discovery is perilous and becomes a desperate fight for survival.

Darling Untold

Lovely Jan,

With her radio, knee-high socks, and curls.

In some ways she was different to other lovely girls.

She had two wonky eyes that made things hard to see.

If you held up two fingers, Jan most likely saw three!

But Jan didn’t mind,

Not one little bit,

It made her ears better at listening to trumpets...

Dartmouth and Cuthbert's Car Adventures

Dartmouth is a 7-year-old brown teddy bear. He is rather grumpy, very wise and knows a lot. Cuthbert is Dartmouth’s friend. He is a 4-year-old green dragon. He is very lively and rushes about everywhere. His breath is only just warm as he is a baby, but his tail flicks about all over the place! He loves telling jokes to Dartmouth.

They sit on the front passenger seat with the seat belt on when Mum takes her twin boys to school in the car. Oliver and Lewis are 5 years old and identical. They can’t sit in front as Mum wouldn’t know which is which, and they would argue a lot about whose turn it is.

The boys’ favourite soft toys Dartmouth and Cuthbert (known to each other as Squeezums and Fishooks), sit next to Mum with Oliver and Lewis in the back. Dad works in London during the week, so doesn’t know about the furry friends’ adventures.

Daughter of Asher

“They tried siege ladders last night, but we were warned and shot naphtha flares into the city. The archers kneel behind the upper rampart and, as the Lady Im’Annas, our Seer, walks past, they rise up and shoot over her head. The Parthians are too superstitious to even try to shoot at her…” 

            The prophetess, Serah, daughter of Asher, arrives at the temple in AD 70, so does the Roman general, Pompey, but unlike him, she does not leave.

Dead Plague

Warning: do not read this book if you are of a sensitive disposition!

Within this book lies a collection of short stories each different from the other but all connect with aspects of horror, suspense and survival, set within a post-apocalyptic world, where the dead have risen from an unknown viral outbreak, that abidingly seek the flesh of the remaining survivors.

The remaining humans attempt to find some semblance of a life on a reformed earth created by the dead. Each story depicts how the dead have reshaped the lives of the survivors and illustrates how they struggle to conform to the change while trying to hold onto some sanity and attempt to continue with life while pondering how long that life will be.

Dead Serious

Stanley was a skinny, timid child who dreaded school. Each Friday, his mum, Irene, would bribe him with a toy car, compelling him to attend the following week. She and his father, Pete, provided love and support, but their eldest son always remained anxious, with little self-esteem. Then, at the age of 10, a greater embarrassment caused him even more anxiety: his mother had bought him the wrong shirt for the football team he had joined with his friends.

Previously, the child had been happy to be invisible, allowing disappointment and others to take control of his life. This single incident made him determined to take charge. He had lots of friends, including Glyn and Roy, who would help him; perhaps they might even have some fun. His first test would be to stand in front of hundreds of boys when he took the school assembly.

Stan knew his struggles to change his life would be a long journey, but he was certain he could develop an inner strength and become more confident. He would no longer be 'short straw Stan' – he was ready to take control of his life.

Portrayed through separate, linked novellas, these tales of Stan's life from infancy through his teenage years may be read as one continuous novel. Alternatively, any chapter may be chosen from any novella and read as a short story.
