Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
It's been four months since my latest book, A Death Worth Living was released, and what a wild, beautiful ride it has been so far. A Death Worth Living is an introspective novella about life, death, sorrow and remembrance. At it's core, it asks one simple question: If you were given the opportunity to go... Continue Reading →
How great it is to be back in Westeros! A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms is a very different books to those in the Song Of Ice And Fire series (that's Game of Thrones, by the way), and Fire & Blood (House of the Dragon). Whereas both those book series are massive epics that tell... Continue Reading →
Review of Fire and Blood - The Book the made House Of The Dragon
Embers of War – the story about a sentient space ship solving mysteries in the vast darkness of space – finally it’s our turn! I feel like I know Gareth Powell. I don’t, though I think I’ve tweeted him a couple of times back in the day, and if I'm not mistaken, he might have... Continue Reading →
Finally a new Sanderson book! It feels like it was months ago that I finished the second Mistborn trilogy - or years even! I think I started my Sanderson journey with Skyward? A book I got from one of my sisters for Christmas ages ago. She only knew that I wanted a book, and that... Continue Reading →
This was in danger of being my least favorite Reacher book - if not worse - but it turns out it's the best! First things first - I love Lee Child and Jack Reacher, and I'm beyond hooked now. I picked up my first book a few years ago, liked it well enough, but really... Continue Reading →
This is so fun! Why don’t I read more teenage books? I’d all started at my local shopping mall – there’s a bookshelf there where people can leave behind books they’re finished with and browse for something new – and it’s all free! (Obviously). I walked past an afternoon and saw two titles that immediately... Continue Reading →
Well, this was… interesting. Let me just start with saying that I’m a massive fan of Justin Cronin. His The Passage and the rest of that trilogy is large responsible for me finding back to my love of reading after not touching a single lick of fiction while I went to university. I spent so...

My short story, Warm-Blooded, has been adapted the incredible The Other Stories nonetheless – and it’s out now wherever you listen to podcasts! James Morello works the night shift on a far away space station. During one of his shifts, he realizes there’s something else out there with him in the vast emptiness. Listen to... Continue Reading →
Perhaps the best and most famous book to be written on Svalbard. Christiane Ritter was an Austrian painter and writer, who famously overwintered on Gråhuken on Spitsbergen, Svalbard, at 79 degrees North with her husband and a Norwegian trapper named Karl. She documented her stay there, and that's what this book is - a year's... Continue Reading →
This made me feel like a teenager again! Even though I don't recall ever having heard the name Anthony Horowitz before, I recognized the title Point Blanc when I walked past the free-secondhand-books shelf in my local shopping mall, so I figured... why not? So I picked up this, as well as Skeleton Key by... Continue Reading →
A-Tier Fantasy! Even if the third book never comes out these two books will live with me forever. Patrick Rothfuss surprised me with The Name Of The Wind. I didn't know what to expect—I'd heard great things of course, so I knew I was even in for a treat, but I also knew a lot... Continue Reading →
Whoa... what a huge disappointment. I... I don't know what happened. I devoured Red Dragon, loved it and and jumped right into A Silence Of The Lambs as soon I was done. After reading that I couldn't wait to get started on Hannibal, which ended up being just as good as, if not better than the... Continue Reading →
