Happy Halloween!

I’ve just released a brand-new short story called The Children Who Didn’t Log Off, and you can read it right now — completely free — on my Patreon.

It’s a dark speculative tale set in a near future where education has gone entirely digital… and one mother realises something isn’t right when her son doesn’t return from his online classroom.

I won’t spoil anything, but if you enjoy stories that blend technology, bureaucracy, and quiet horror, this one’s for you.

Set Sail Into Hunters — A Nautical Fantasy in the Ravenglass Universe

Set sail into Hunters, a nautical fantasy set in the Ravenglass Universe. Follow Dex Falkner and the crew of the Vonnegut in a story of wyverns, shadow seas, and outlaw loyalty. Start reading free chapters now on Patreon.

I’ve been working on something new, and I’m excited to finally share it with you.

My latest project is Hunters, a nautical fantasy set in the Ravenglass Universe. If you’ve read my other series, you’ll know the Ravenglass world is a place where loyalty, ambition, and danger collide. This time, the story takes to the high seas.

At its heart, Hunters follows Dex Falkner, a smuggler who discovers his captain, Loch, trafficking wyverns and conducting dark experiments. When Dex refuses to be part of it, he’s betrayed, beaten, and left for dead. But fate has other plans.

Rescued by a crew of Hunters—outlaws who tackle the jobs no one else will—Dex finds himself aboard the sleek cutter Vonnegut. With Torin’s pragmatism, Kara’s ingenuity, and Alswind’s wyvern-sight, the Hunters sail into shadowed waters to bring down Loch and his network of cruelty.

This is a story about dangerous seas, outlaw camaraderie, and the fight to do what’s right in a world that punishes honour as often as it rewards it.

The seas are merciless, the storms unrelenting, and the enemies cunning. Yet amidst the darkness, the Hunters hold onto loyalty, defiance, and the determination to strike back.

I’ve started posting Hunters chapter by chapter on Patreon. You can begin reading for free as a member and follow along as the journey unfolds.

If you enjoy:

  • Nautical adventures with storms, outlaws, and perilous passages
  • Wyverns and shadow realms that add a fantastical edge to naval grit
  • Morally complex crews who fight against overwhelming odds
  • The nobledark tone where cruelty rules, but loyalty still shines

…then this is a story you won’t want to miss.

You can start reading Hunters for free today on Patreon.
