It's here...

July 8, 2014News

And so the new website look is here. Austin Designworks have done a wonderful job capturing the many faces of my writing. I hope you find the new look ‘energetic’ but still streamlined.

I would appreciate if you could take the time to browse and let me know if you stumble upon any broken links or problematic displays.

All the books pages have buy options on the right hand column. Translation covers are nested in the individual book pages.

You can access the blog through the HOME page or the BLOG page in the main TOP menu.

The STORE has been revamped and you can now buy my short fiction and comic through it. In time, I will make novellas available too!

Coming Soon

In a near-future where privatised health care has sent the cost of over-the-counter medicine soaring, terrorists execute a well-planned attack on the world’s pharmaceutical companies.

Ella West is an ex-pat Australian living in New York City when the coup begins and is mistakenly imprisoned for suspected terrorist activity.

On her release she finds her partner, Joah, has passed away because of lack of treatment due to the malfunctioning health care system. As the city descends into chaos, she plans to leave, but is is asked a favour by a friend — to transport his teenage daughter to safety in South Carolina. Ella heads south, planning to honour her friend’s wish and then find a way back across the Mexican border and home to Australia. But in the turmoil that unfolds, her life changes forever.

Details coming soon
