With the regrettable demise of the 'Star Trek Explorer' magazine, I have taken the opportunity to focus on something I have always wanted to write but have never really had the time - a full-length high fantasy book. Entitled 'Descendant: A Vanguard Chronicles novel', this first title in the trilogy is already written with the second underway and third roughly drafted out. Things may have to change with it - I'm currently looking for representation and I've been writing professionally long enough to know your work's only as good as it can be at the time and is never 'finished' - but I think it's the best thing I've ever written and am hopeful it'll be able to get 'out there' sooner rather than later. 

​

'Descendant' is very much in the Joe Abercrombie/Mark Lawrence camp; gritty, nasty, uncompromising but rich in worldbuilding and strong on character. There's big-scale battles, bloody intrigue and political machinations aplenty - if I had to give an elevator pitch, I'd say it was 'wizards with particle beam weapons'. There's a lot of action. You can find updates on this via Instagram or a dedicated section on this site here so please do go and take a look. I'm going to be updating it far more than here and will be retiring my X account fairly soon, so if you feel inclined, subscribe to it.

 

I am also currently involved in co-editing and contributing to a collection of Warhammer academic papers based on the international Warhammer academic conferences I have been involved with since 2024. More details of this can be found here.
