Novels
Gaia's Engine
A science-fiction horror with more than a hint of the supernatural. Tyler Penrose, medium and spiritual leader, is losing his faith. Hounded by sceptics and questioned by his congregation, he returns to the secret source of his inspiration – a mystical device built by his deceased father that he claimed could summon the dead. But when reports of ghost sightings increase and grisly murders follow, Tyler’s church is implicated, and he is forced to do battle not only with his own conscience, but the frightened public and the vanguard of a species intent on humanity's ruin.

The Beasts of Upton Puddle
Publisher: Medallion Press
Launch date: September 2013
"Young Joe Copper has been given the opportunity of a lifetime. Hidden in the quiet village of Upton Puddle, a veterinary practice devoted to the care of mythological beasts has taken him on as an assistant. But with an unknown and dangerous creature lurking in the woods, and the ruthless businessman, Argoyle Redwar bent on learning all he can about the practice, Joe is soon drawn into an adventure of legendary proportions."
Ocean Black 
A fantasy story that started as a serialisation but will most likely end up as Trilogy of novels. Of all my writing efforts, this is one of my favourites, so this will definitely get resurrected in the near future - possibly some time in 2011.
Exoterica
"Humanity is at the brink of extinction, serving as livestock for a brutal race known as the Jaegus. But when a mysterious saviour arrives with a message of hope, mankind is exposed to a far more sinister threat, for brooding at the edge of reality, forces older even than life itself lie in wait."
This is the sci-fi book (or Space Opera) I always wanted to write. Two drafts have been written, but I'm half way through the third, which has gone through some dramatic editing. This is what I'll be working on through 2010.
Jacob's Trouble
"Based on a true story - yet to come"
This was my first attempt at a novel that ended up as a 250,000 word epic. First drafted back in 1995, it was the culmination of more than five years of studying eschatology (the end times). The inspiration for this came after completing an earlier book which was an indepth study of the Biblical view, and it soon became apparent that it would make a good story, so I set to work. I have plans to one day redraft this, but until then, it shouldn't be inflicted on anyone else.

Other Books
Apocalypse Soon - The heretic's guide to the end times
Written in 1994 and currently being reworked, this will be available soon at Lulu.com. Gone are my Christian days, but the fundamentalist beliefs about this subject are so entertaining, it's worth getting this one on the shelf. Along with the book, I'll be giving away a "numerology calculator" which adds to the fun, and any profit made from the sales will be going to Cancer Research. I'm hoping for this to be on sale mid 2010.
Secret Truth
I'm adding this for completeness sake, but to tell the truth, I'm incredibly embarrassed by it. It was my first real attempt at any kind of book and muddled together a collection of short stories, theological ramblings and art. Have no fear, it will never see the light of day! (Though if you browse in the gallery, you might find some of the art).
