Hi everyone,

It’s been a funny couple of months with family stuff and building my freelance business as well as working on The Merit-Hunters Series.

One of my biggest goals for this year was to learn my craft better. I’ve got stuck into writing courses, online webinars, and getting out to meet more writers. Additionally, I’ve been writing short stories, one of which I’ve decided to officially release into the world.

Jonathan Plank has grown up in The Swell: an impoverished community spilling out across a futuristic London suburb. Now sixty years old, Jonathan only has five years left before his inflicted Departure by the Corporation.

Before that, it’s imperative he clears the debt his mother left him, otherwise his daughters will carry the burden.

But when Jonathan wins the Corporation’s Escape Contest and can flee The Swell for a day, his desperation reveals what kind of man he is and what kind of man he could be.

So when can you get your hands on it?

The Swell is available now!

£1.99. A right bargain, I’d say.

Order The Swell today

I look forward to hearing your thoughts in the reviews. It’ll only take you an hour or so to read.

So get downloading and be excited! Something new is here.

Thanks again for all your support and have happy days,
