Book 5 of Grand Game releases on 1 September!
Book 5 of the Grand Game releases in a little over a week! You can find it here.
The series follows the adventures of Michael, an assassin/psi caster who has a 'wolf' heritage. The book has game elements embedded in the story that are essential to his progression throughout.
Michael has been on his adventure for a while in the Forever Kingdom, and is surely getting stronger; fighting against extremely powerful enemies that try and stop him from achieving his goals. Thankfully, he makes some friends along the way who help him along in his journey!
The book is more on the serious side with some humor sprinkled in for your enjoyment.
Happy reading!
Here is the synopsis for Book 5:
A House established. A Wolf on the run. And with his foes multiplying, can Michael accomplish all that he must?
Michael has taken the Game by the throat. No longer content to lurk in the shadows, he has started down a path that will inevitably bring him into conflict with the Powers.
But the Powers are no easy foes. Nor are they Michael’s only adversaries.
Other enemies stir. Some confront him openly, while others watch patiently from the sidelines. A lone wolf no more, and with many of his own pieces in play, Michael may find himself more exposed than he believes.
The stakes are high. And the schemes of the players convoluted.
Evading entanglement will not be simple. Avoiding the ire of the Powers will be even harder. And escaping the attention of beings beyond his ken may well be impossible. Can Michael trace a delicate balance between obscurity and strength? Or will his dreams for House Wolf end in ashes?
Follow Michael on his epic journey and find out!

Book 4 of the Grand Game releasing 1 March 2023!
House Wolf, Book 4 of the Grand Game releases today! You can find it here: at amazon
The series is still going strong, and for those who don't know, it follows the adventures of Michael, an assassin/ psi caster. And of course, there is a very strong 'wolf' element present too. :)
Game mechanics are embedded in the story (and are essential to the story, too :)). It is not a humorous story, though there are some funny moments that had me chuckling when writing it!
Anyway, hope you enjoy.
See the blurb below. Book 4 Synopsis:
Still Hunted. Still Alone. But many times stronger. Can Michael survive the Game?
Months have passed since Michael first entered the Forever Kingdom, and while a great deal of the Game remains a mystery, his own place in it grows surer. Yet, survival—much less success—is by no means assured, and Michael will have to tread a delicate path to forge a place for himself.
Ancient mysteries resurface. And long-buried truths are uncovered.
The Forever Kingdom’s past is as murky as the Game, and there are nearly as many truths as factions. But if Michael is to emerge victorious, he must separate fact from fiction.
Will House Wolf rise again?
Will the ancient bloodlines be restored? Can Michael find trustworthy allies? And what price will he have to pay to secure House and allies?

About the series:
One man. A new world. And a Game that is as brutal as it is complex.
Michael finds himself in the realm of the Forever Kingdom, with no memory of how he got there and who he is. Even so, he must participate in the Grand Game and forge a new destiny for himself.
Dropped into a dungeon of monsters, and strange magics, would you survive in a Game where to lose means death?
Alone, and with little more than his wits to aid him, Michael must advance as a player, slay his foes, and gain experience. All while navigating the intrigues around him and discovering his purpose.
A world of Powers, Forces, and mysterious factions. A Game with endless opportunities for advancement and power.
Join Michael on his epic adventure as he deals with the Game’s challenges, the machinations of the Powers, and the ambitions of his fellow players.
The start of an exciting new portal fantasy epic!
