The first quarter of 2023 may seem to have been a phenomenally prolific period for me, with three books already on the market and a fourth nearly over the finishing-line. However, this is a mirage of the publication rather than the creative process: I was not spending the years between 2014, when Good Red Herring came out, and the present year in a sorry state of writer's block. And I also need to firmly disillusion any reader expecting a book a month from the pen of an author much given to reflection and revision. Anyway, here they all are.
Fluctuation in Disorder
An encounter with an alien enemy. A strange epiphany in a fog-bound park. A collector of the names of the dead faces their own death. Rebel divinities respond to the prayers of despairing creation for deliverance. Bureaucrats find their grip on reality dissolving in odd ways.

Hollowmen
Stranded in Quettopolis, the capital of Bakhtinstan, Cuffe spends her days surviving the destabilized city, distributing her writing through the ancient Forest, and recollecting her last job as a ‘corporate orator’.

And the Wildness
Villa Grace is in disgrace. Her expulsion from school has ruined the prospect of a family holiday in imperial Byzantium, where her mother is organising a conference. Two of her three siblings are barely speaking to her, as all four face into a ‘holiday’ sweltering on Cobwell Farm in the back of beyond of drought-stricken Hibernia.
A Wild Goose Hunt
As a good Sombrist, Hunter Sessaire is aware that not only lying, but also curiosity, is very much frowned upon by his community. As an apprentice archivist, he cannot resist the temptation to try to puzzle out how a manuscript could have been stolen from the room within the Sombrists' stronghold known as the Labyrinth, which opens only during a planetary alignment. An alignment that had not yet taken place.
Good Red Herring(Muinbeo Chronicles #1) Published by Little Island
“Some of these stories really started decades, generations, ago, and now come to their close. New things begin to arise from the past, like phoenix feathers separating from the flame. The winding down of the old stories and the starting of the new arose from a death; a murder, if you will believe such wickedness.”
Fen Maguire has been stabbed and the investigation into her death lifts the lid on more than just the name of her killer…
