North of River Eve now available on amazon


In a world divided by Race, Class, and Allegiances, only Hate rules supreme.

The Big bomb devastated a Kingdom a long time ago and left its ugly scars in the form of River Eve. A river so toxic that one touch will melt the flesh off your hand. 

Karcey, a young tearaway, calls it home. When night comes, she and her cousins scavenge through the wreck of the city to escape starvation and cling to life.

Karcey has never felt that she belonged. Her dark skin makes her a target for abuse. Not least from her own family members.

One cold day, a man knocks on her door. 

He is Professor John Grantham. A brilliant academic and highly distinguished in society. He gives Karcey a choice: Stay and continue to struggle or follow him to a place where she can achieve glory for the first time in her short life. She decides on the latter. However, upon arriving there, it doesn’t take long for Karcey to discover that Professor Grantham has an ulterior motive.

The The kingdom is at war with its enemies and only Karcey can determine the outcome. She finds herself balancing on a knife-edge. One wrong move and she could lose everything she loves. Do it right, and hope will spring, but to fully bloom, Karcey must stay alive…
Dealing with issues such as racism, genetic engineering and politics, fans of the handmaid's tale and 1984 will find this explosive new Novel chronicling a dystopian England extremely gripping.

Some writing groups are dreamkillers

When I was a writing beginner I found comfort in writing groups. They can give support and encouragement to young authors and some tips to improve. On the other side of the coin though they can be the very thing that destroys a budding career. When I started to dream about writing big, I joined a lot of writing groups on the internet - mind you, this was back in the early 2000's - and I found that they were very supportive and everybody cheered each other on.

It simply gives a story an edge. I believe that the same effort devoted to writing the hero should be devoted to writing a villain. What I despise most is a lazy, card board cut out villain when the whole story has been going so well before.  A good villain lift up the story, gives the hero a challenge and give us a reason to root for somebody. Furthermore, a villain doesn't have to be a physical person. It could be a force of nature, circumstances or unexplained phenomenon, but a villain must be compelling.  ⭐Make your villains have a cause other than serve as a plot device. A fully fleshed out villain should have a cause to behave the way they're behaving even though the cause might not seem rational to the readers or even the author themselves.  ⭐Make them sympathetic but at the same time reminds us why t
