A long-overdue update

The most recent post was getting a bit outdated, so here’s a quick little summary of things.

Since my last update (2024!) I’ve released 3 more books.

Nestled with the Nameless One, an eldritch horror romantasy about a man who falls in love to the elder god he’s getting sacrificed to.

The Thunder Path, a scifi western about a young woman who must journey to the one place she doesn’t want to go to, to help the people who want her dead.

And Beyond the Mistline, a zipline-rainforest-dystopian epic fantasy about a woman who winds up on the wrong side in a revolution.

Each of these books stand alone, and while NWTNO may get a sequel or a companion novel at some point, for the minute I am content with the fact that they are all complete within a single volume.

Outside of writing, I have started a YouTube Channel called Link On Stories, where I share video essays about storytelling in its various forms, and also share writing advice.

Below is my latest video about iterative storytelling, the hero’s journey, and the Legend of Zelda.

And lastly, I’ve been working on a new project. Titan Tamer has, sadly, had to go by the wayside as I had an opportunity come up to go to a bootcamp with an editor from a publisher here in Australia, which means I needed a YA novel to present and work on as part of it. And sadly (or not so sadly) I’ve pushed most of the books I’m proud of to print already, so I didn’t have a draft I was happy with.

So I’ve given myself a challenge, also to be documented over on the YT channel, is to get a draft of this book, or as close to a draft, done in 12 weeks. We’re deep into week 4 now and things are moving on target and according to plan.

But I haven’t announced the book I’m working on yet. Not formally at least.

That’s why I’m happy to reveal my new writing project is PROMETHEA FALLING, a new book in a YA dystopian trilogy.

I doubt it’ll result in any traditional publishing contracts, but it is nice to be working on something fresh and exciting, and to be back working the trad trenches for a bit. I imagine if it goes nowhere, you’ll get it in your hot little hands sometime 2027, but don’t hold me to that.

All the best

‘WITH SCARS OF SPIRIT’ full cover reveal

Good morning everyone!

There is a nice little surprise at the bottom of this post for those who want a little weekend treat.

I’m writing this from my warm house on a rather cold autumn morning here in Melbourne, Australia. I am rugged up in my warm hoodie and house socks, drinking coffee, and excitedly staring down the full cover for With Scars of Spirit.

I have already shared, several months ago, the front cover, with the gorgeous artwork by Molly Phillips (@Lich_Bones on the Platform formerly known as Twitter). However, I have not shared the wraparound, and thought you’d appreciate the little preview.

I’m still a few weeks out from opening orders for the book, but the book is done. I finished typing in the last of the final polish notes, and I couldn’t be prouder of this finale. I cannot wait for you all to read it.

Now, without further ado, I present you the full cover for With Scars of Spirit.

And of course, for ease of reading, the blurb of the book itself. Spoilers for Books 1 and 2, obviously!

The Emergence nears.
War looms.
The Deimachy must end.


Serphinion, the Soulmonger, is seemingly victorious. All he needs is one final piece in his plan for him to achieve his ultimate design.

Roisin, accepting Serphinion’s ultimatum, finds herself working with the enemy. However, being so close to the enemy brings her closer than ever to her main objective: Piritta.

Piritta is haunted by her choices. Taunted by her master and challenged by her fellow queens, she must find a way to overcome the most difficult challenge of her life.

Kaori, newly crowned Empering, must learn to control the armies of a people to which she does not belong.

Meanwhile, Nerissa has intentions of her own.

The stage is set for battle, the pieces are in play, and Serphinion has plans for all of them.

And the last little bit of exciting news…

The ebook…is already out!

That’s right, you can go and purchase the eBook of With Scars of Spirit right now!

Paperback options (and the special Hardcover version) to come.

Until next time!
