Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I am the author of the Tree of Life series of fantasy books and This Sacred Isle, an epic historical fantasy set in Dark Age Britain.

I live in Suffolk, England with my wife, daughter and cat. My writing reflects my love of history and mythology, especially the folktales and legends of the British Isles. My literary influences include the works of Mervyn Peake, Charles Dickens, J.R.R. Tolkien, Richard Adams and George Orwell.

The Tree of Life trilogy (comprised of The Map of the Known World, The Ordeal of Fire and The Last Days) was originally published between 2007 and 2012. An ebook boxset of the complete trilogy is now available.

My next novel, a science fiction dystopian thriller called ‘The Waste’, will be available from the 27 October 2023.

Aside from writing, I enjoy reading a wide range of books, watching films, visiting museums and art galleries, and spending time with family and friends. I also support Ipswich Town Football Club.

    The concept of this one had promise but ultimately it wasn't good...The book is extremely slow paced and repetitive. The entire first half is just the main character having the same conversations with different people! For some reason the author feels the need to explain who "the judge" is every time its mentioned, which happens on nearly every page for most of the book. After about half way through the book just becomes absurd and ridiculous. Honestly, all I could think of throughout most of this portion of the book was the kindergarteners on the old cartoon Recess...
