Branded Book 1: Skald<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governing the far eastern territory of his country, Fitzeirick does his best to keep his people safe. Vicious raids along the southern border force him to appear before the ruling council for aid. Instead of helping, his half-brother\u2019s deceit has him branded a traitor before tossing him into a secret dungeon. Thanks to the criminals imprisoned with him, \u2018kill or be killed\u2019 is his way of life until he can find a way out.
Unsure of who remains loyal to him, given the mark he carries, Fitzeirick flees to his mother\u2019s homeland. Can he reunite with his friends and avoid capture along the way? Armed with only his innate magic and a dull, ceremonial sword, he travels north wary of the welcome he may receive. If he can reach the safety of Varia, will they help him save his people? Is he willing to pay the price?
Skald is the first book in the Branded trilogy. An epic story with elemental magic, fighting, deception, political manoeuvring, and a splash of humour.

High Tide in the City<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bristol 2070. It\u2019s a drowned city, caught in the rhythm of its 40 foot tide. But life still throbs there, even if most of it\u2019s mean and dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When ex-cop Matt Nixon is called to a murder on the wrong side of town he thinks it\u2019s business as usual. He couldn\u2019t be more wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the tide starts rising, it\u2019s a race against time. And the clock is ticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A stunning novel from an author local to me, which I can personally recommend. A rollicking read that I found impossible to put down! Buy it in paperback or on Kindle from Amazon.co.uk here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
