We are Daimones, we are not men.
The end is nigh, of that we're sure.
We stole all decency from men,
looking for any sign of shelter.
We are Daimones, we are no men,
We kept Hell's gates open for Angels to enter.

Worse yet, what will happen when it is his turn to tell a story? Lastly, why won’t the fly and mosquito buzzing around the campfire leave him alone? Three unique and unpredictable stories, that both children and adults will all enjoy.

I've been writing a lot of short-ish things (under 30K) because they're easier to put out, and I think people might be more likely to take a risk on a newbie if the book is a weekend commitment and not, like, their whole week.




If you like dystopian fiction, you might take a look at the Transformation Series. Final book was just released last week.

'A Devilish Pastime' looks at the history of all forms of football. This means 'football', in the generic sense: including soccer, rugby, American/Canadian football, Australian Rules, Gaelic football, and a range of lesser-known adaptations, hybrids and so on. It also looks at ball games that were played in ancient and medieval times, which these modern sports are descended from.
It's available in Kindle and epub formats, through Amazon, Smashwords, the Sony Reader Store, Kobo / Indigo / WH Smith, Barnes & Noble and Diesel (and possibly in the Apple ibooks catalogue, which I haven't been able to check).

Tag Line: Through a miraculous conception, Avalon Labrador must give birth to herself before she is executed, to solve her husband’s murder and her own wrongful conviction.
When the reincarnated Avy Labrador is kicked out of her stepfather’s house on her 18th birthday, she has no idea that the man who raised her framed her mother to cover his murder so he could acquire a major software empire. Now, years later, with the help of her magician boyfriend, Sebastian, Avy is about to discover that her birth was otherworldly and for a purpose. The ancient Roman God Janus was so appalled by the heinous murder of Tom Labrador by his brother Drake that he opened up a War Gate. Avy has received half of her mother’s soul light and half of a God’s essence. Her mission is to put the real killer behind bars. The only catch: she must learn to “Gate-Walk�, that’s time traveling to the layman. She soon finds out that she is a drunk driver on the space/time continuum super highway.
“This was a solidly written tale with a trace of fantasy and complex thought used in defining the concept of leaping from one time gate to the next—excellent job of structuring.�
Terrie G, Bitten by Books, 4 out of 5.
“The War Gate is a captivating book. Mystery, magic and the paranormal blend together in a perfect mix. I would thoroughly recommend this book to fantasy enthusiasts who also like romance.
Orcid, Aurora Reviews, 5 out of 5.
War Gate Author's Note: The antagonist character, Wax Man, is not for the squeamish. I warn you ahead of time that he is the most disgusting, vile creature/human you're ever likely to read about. Not for younger readers under 13.

At a destination wedding, four women embark on an emotional journey that takes them all down the aisle towards self-discovery.
When college friends Kate, Nina and Zoë take holiday from their busy schedules on opposite coasts to join their former roommate, Hannah, for her wedding in Lake Tahoe, they not only bring suitcases packed with what-not-to-wear bridesmaid dresses, but baggage of a more emotional kind.
Supported by a variety of eclectic characters determined to wreck havoc on their carefully organized lives, each woman is forced to come to terms with her past before she walks down the aisle. Zoë must learn how to reveal a vulnerability beneath her bravado before she can finally open her heart. Kate needs to reclaim her identity before she can regain her strut. Nina must heal her own inner child so she can provide for another. Hannah needs to release a ghost in order to recover her spirit. A bottle of booze, a host of laughs, a hankie or two worth of tears, and seventy-two hours among those who know and love them the most is the perfect recipe for four women to Eat, Drink, and Be Married.
