Feather - Free PDF Excerpt

I have just launched a free PDF here on Goodreads of the complete first novella in my collection Feather - entitled Yellow Eyes. This tells the story of a young Feather gworing up in the wilds in the shadow of an old nuclear powerstation with her borderline crazy father and it sets the scene for most of the other works. So now there is nothing to stop you meeting her for yourself!

David’s Quotes

“in the days when the world begins to bleach and shrivel, and the sun is blotched with death. Socialist and Individualist, they'll all be a little dirt lodged deep in the granite wrinkles of the globe's countenance.”
