Looking for reviews for this red-headed step-child of mine.
HAVE A NICE TRIP? SEE YOU NEXT FALL! Attending their daughter's wedding in South Africa promised to be the vacation of a lifetime. But first, they had to face the treacherous gauntlet known as modern day travel. Join this hapless, sometimes helpless couple as they brave their way through a never-ending obstacle course filled with such hazards as flight delays, the purgatory of layovers and an incompetent, uncaring air carrier that treats its passengers worse than their luggage. Waiting for them on the other side of the world are an honest-to-goodness safari with amorous lions and elephants with anger issues, a life-affirming visit to a South African school and an anxious bride and groom, standing patiently at the airport with a sign that reads: "WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?" The answer lies within the pages of PLEASE HOLD THUMBS: A NOT-SO-ROUND TRIP TO SOUTH AFRICA, a true tale of turbulence and triumph

Chosen is book one in my series titled the Last Guardians, I am currently working on book 2 and hope to publish it this summer.
Here is the synopsis for Chosen:
''There was a war...a long bloody war, between Dragons, Oluan, and humans.''Magic and Power... Dragons. These are the things of books and movies... of other worlds. They aren’t real. They can’t be real.Mia wishes for the days when she truly believed that. Days when her biggest worry was whether or not she’d be accepted into the university of her choice. But that was before.Before her reflection started playing tricks on her in store windows. Before she was unceremoniously ripped from her family and friends and dumped in a place she can’t escape from. A place where no one can reach her. Nethea.Thrust into a world where Dragons exist and magic is Power, Mia must find a way to accept the role she’s been Chosen to fulfill. A role that seems more and more likely to claim her life as she uncovers the staggering odds stacked against her. If she can do it...if she can rise above the grief and anger that plague her heart and save Nethea from the dark fate waiting in the claws of a monster... Then maybe, just maybe, she’ll get to go home again.
Please let me know here or in private message if you would be interested in reading and reviewing Chosen!
Much appreciated!

Adelbhert is only six years old when he is forced to watch his father and other men from his village being crucified in revenge for an attack on the Roman city of Modiglianum.
Then he and his little sister are taken as slaves. They are sold to a merchant who takes them to the distant and mysterious island of Britannia. Here he is treated like a pet until he grows up and is no longer a pretty child.
His experiences make him hate the Romans and he resolves to escape one day and have revenge. but his hatred is eating away at his soul.
Will he get the chance to escape, and if so, can he remain free? And how can one young man take on the might of the Roman Army and win?
Or if you prefer Fantasy, here's the blurb for Book 1 of The Wolves of Vimar Series, The Wolf Pack.
All Carthinal wants is admission to the ranks of the mages. Traveling from Bluehaven to Hambara, where his rite of passage is to take place, he doesn't expect to end up on a quest to find the long-lost sword of the legendary King Sauvern.
With strangers he meets on his journey, Carthinal sets out on the seemingly impossible quest. Followed by Randa, the snooty aristocratic daughter of the Duke of Hambara, and the young runaway thief Thad, Carthinal and his companions face tragedy and danger.
Watched by the gods and an implacable foe, they will have to accept help from the least likely sources and face their innermost fears. As the fate of their world hangs in the balance, they realize that this is more than an adventure. This quest will change them all.

“If it’s on the Internet, it must be true.” So says Leroy Jones, a tech-smart fifteen-year-old mallrat better known by his nickname of Wikipedia. Armed with only his wits and an iPhone, Wiki trolls obscure websites for disparate chunks of information which will crack open even the toughest cases. Who took a crap in the urinals? Who left obscene tweets on the display smartphones? The answers, of course, are all on the Web.
But all is not well at the posh Lewiston Mall. When a gang of local hipsters secure part-time jobs, it quickly becomes apparent that there’s much more to the retail game than meets the eye. Aided only by his closest friends and a handful of bookmarked websites, Wiki feverishly works to connect the dots… and stumbles across a sinister, capitalist plot in the process!

My latest book, The Trouble With Liam, is a powerful psychological thriller set in Ireland and Sheffield. It tells the life story of Liam O’Sullivan in all its twisted glory. The book begins with tales of Liam’s challenging childhood in Dublin and follows him through tragic events which change him into a misogynistic, controlling, ultimately lethal bully living in Sheffield. Liam thought he could do as he pleased … until he was taught otherwise. Prepare to be shocked in different ways throughout the book. If you’re not a fan of thrillers or reading books containing violence, sex, and swearing, please avoid The Trouble With Liam. If you enjoy lashings of dark humour, situations to make your eyes pop out, thrills of every kind all wrapped up in a gripping, dramatic storyline, please read on. I’m currently writing the next books in the series, The Trouble With Russell, and The Trouble With Trouble.

Adam is living the dream - literally.....
There are two worlds which have always lived alongside each other, The Waking World and the Great Dream, Reverie. Adam is living a very ordinary life until he becomes aware of the link between the worlds and discovers that, as a Daydreamer, he is one of the very few people who can travel freely between the two and achieve impossible things.
You would think that being in control of your dreams would be fun. But when both worlds are threatened by a new and growing danger and when Nightmares not only roam the dream world but also start chasing him even while he is awake, Adam realises that he will need all of his new found powers just to survive the night.
With the help of a very unusual band of friends Adam now has to save both worlds, discover more about his past and, if he can, try and avoid yet another detention.
The Boy who Dreamt the World is the first book in the Daydreamer Chronicles series.

Here's the synopsis so you know what you're getting yourself into:
Antonia Paige has been ripped out of vampire retirement, and shes not happy about it.
Everyone in her life agrees Antonia was given control of her family's clan when she was far too young. And after a couple of centuries of doing a mediocre job, Antonia has managed to vanish from her family and vampire society. She lands at a small North Georgia college with a plan: through scientific experiment, she will attempt to remove the vampire virus from her system. If she is successful, she can be human again.
Unfortunately, its much harder for the head of a clan to disappear than Antonia realizes. Her brother Richard wants the crown for himself, but to take it, he must take out his sister. He tracks her down, but luckily for Antonia, a lover she jilted long ago is hovering nearby, waiting for an opportunity to rescue her. Antonia has learned a lot during her years living as a human, however, and she doesn't want to be rescued-she wants to prove herself.

Her..."

My blurb: Toy: a contemporary m/m romance.
Troy the toy isn’t looking for a relationship. He gets all the sex he
needs whilst working at Priapus: a brothel in inner city Melbourne.
Over the past three years, he has learned to turn himself off and load his Tommy program whenever he is with a client. A saleable commodity in today’s consumer society, he is well aware that his cute twink appeal has an expiry date, but he is content for now with the status quo.
That is, until his homophobic high school bully books an appointment.
Seeing Nick Stephanides again after all these years gives Troy’s operating system a bit of a jolt. Troy has always assumed that Nick is straight, but Nick is gay, lonely and determined to start a bromance with Troy. How can Troy say no to those broad shoulders?
Troy and Nick begin a tentative friendship, whilst Troy continues to provide good customer service to his clients, some of whom have very interesting requests.
Offering advice and support are his friends at Priapus: Melissa, his manager, who keeps a maternal eye on her boys, Brett, the bear and Ari, the surfie dude, whose passionate love affair is the catalyst for much soul searching, Qiu, the cheery Goth and Damien, the beautiful redhead who, for some reason, tenses up at the mere suggestion that Troy might one day break his dating embargo.
And then there’s Desmond the politician, who pays to watch Troy dance.
Of course, Troy’s operating system is bound to glitch sooner or later. Will it be Nick who finally sneaks under his defences? There is that ancient proverb about Greeks bearing gifts…

Silver Jennings is a paralegal who likes things to be organized, including her sock drawer. She finds herself out of her comfort zone when she appears on TV show Cupid in Control and wins a romantic holiday with Mark the woodworker.
Mark is a complete Neanderthal who looks terrible in a suit and refuses to put the cap back on the toothpaste properly, the jerk. He is not Silver’s type at all. Not that Silver wants a relationship, after her ex-boyfriend broke her heart. But perhaps Silver and Mark have more in common than at first glance. Could friendship at least be on the cards?
Of course, they have to survive the holiday first, which is being filmed by a camera crew eager to capture every embarrassing personal flaw.
Then there’s Silver’s secret past, which she’d really rather not discuss. Although some secrets just seem to get dragged out into the open…

The second book in my Middle Grade fantasy series has just gone up on Booksprout. Download for free and if you could also find the time to leave an honest review that would be great. (Link below)

You don't need to have read the first book for this one to make sense, so please don't let that put you off :)
The series follows the adventures of a boy who can enter an alternate world when he dreams. As a 'Daydreamer', while he is in the Dream World, he has abilities far beyond any regular person - although sadly in the 'real' world he has no special powers at all... and plenty of his own problems to deal with.
Thanks very much

It's a fairly short fantasy adventure - I'll let the blurb speak for itself:
The Boiling Seas are the mariner’s bane – and the adventurer’s delight. The waters may be hot enough to warp wood and boil a hapless swimmer, but their scalding expanse is full of wonders. Strange islands lurk in the steamy mists, and stranger ruins hold ancient secrets, remnants of forgotten empires waiting for the bold… or lying in wait for the unwary.
On the Corpus Isles, gateway to the Boiling Seas, Tal Wenlock, the Blackbird, seeks a fortune of his own. The treasure he pursues could change the world – but he just wants to change a single life, and it’s not his own. To reach it, he’ll descend into the bowels of the earth and take ship on burning waters, brave dark streets and steal forbidden knowledge. He’ll lie, cheat, steal and fight – but he won’t get far alone. The ghosts of Tal’s past dog his every step – and one in particular keeps his knives sharp.
The Blackbird will need help to reach his goal – and he’ll need all his luck to get back home alive.
It'll be going up for 99p on Amazon, but I have free copies (and a pint/coffee if you're in London!) for anyone who fancies giving it a review.
If you're interested, please drop me a line by whatever means you wish!
