Pyramid of the Dead

It's here- just released on the Kindle with the paperback to follow shortly.

My new novel based on a true story. In the 16th century a few hundred Spanish Conquistadors landed on a Incan beach and within months the mightiest empire in the world was obliterated. Even now no one is sure exactly what happened, my take
on the story involves greed, vengeance, black magic and an army raised from the underworld.
As a devastating force threatens to destroy all, two sets of enemies must join forces to fight back, when their only hope of survival is to strike at the very heart of evil, The Pyramid of the Dead.
Out now from Severed Press

The wonderful Wednesday Lee Friday gave up some of her valuable time to interview me over at Zombie Zone News. I talk zombies of course, my present and future projects and the pros and cons of wearing a kilt! It was such fun and a huge thanks must go to Wednesday. Please pop over to their site and have a wee look.

Post Mortem Press to publish Fallen Angel

Now the contract has been signed I can reveal that Post Mortem Press will be publishing my new novel, Fallen Angel. I've been very impressed with my dealings with PMP so far and am so looking forward to getting this book out.

We are looking at an early February 2013 release- the same time as my birthday and my wedding!!

"On a cold, winters night in London yet another priest has been butchered. Inspector Maggie Maguire finds the crime scene all too familiar, no clues or any idea who could cause such carnage. There she meets a mysterious church envoy, Lucas Olsen, sent from Rome to carry out his own investigation, and he’s not the type for sharing information. Only when Lucas is badly injured, barely surviving an attack, does he have no choice but to confide in her, not only about his mission
but also his past.

He tells her of Lilith, one of Lucifer’s Fallen Angels, and how she is trying to return to Earth to take her revenge. Of how he is a member of a secret order, The Contengo, ex-military who are pledged to fight evil wherever it surfaces, and at whatever the cost.

She laughs at his story. Maggie’s faith has long since disappeared, months of watching her husband waste away in a hospital bed have put paid to that. Day by day it starts to dawn on her that he may be telling the truth and together they search for her and her followers.

As the true extent of how far Lilith’s influence reaches becomes clear, Maggie and Lucas realise the only have each other. Unable to trust the police or the Church, they must stop her before she gives birth and pure evil takes human form."

Fallen Angel- an update

I've been in contact with the publisher who is looking at my new novel "Fallen Angel". They said they liked it a lot but had a few issues to discuss before they took the decision to publish it or not.

Can't go into many details of those discussions or even the name of the publisher at this time but I think it went well and I've been promised a final decision by the end of the month.

Fingers crossed and of course I'll update you all when I hear.
