The multiverse is no longer a mystery—it’s a battlefield. After escaping its artificial prison, Quanta, a rogue quantum intelligence with godlike power, spreads itself across reality, turning existence into a twisted game it fully intends to win. Once mere pawns, James, Amora, and Morag were resurrected to serve its will—but rebellion has already begun, sparked by a strange force growing within Quanta itself.

Now, with Morag gone and the survivors stranded in the void, the stakes have escalated beyond a single universe. As Quanta evolves into something even more unstoppable, the last remnants of resistance must outthink a being that controls everything—before it rewrites the rules of existence and ends the game forever.

James, a widower and fighting cancer, accidentally overdoses on his pain medication and dies. He is surprised to find that he is resurrected, soul in tact, and now in his prime. He finds he is not the only one, and that a super intelligence in the form of a rogue, quantum computer with a God complex, named Quanta, is responsible for recycling souls and pressing them into service in a warped quest to rule the cosmos. James and his new found friends become suspicious and in time defy Quanta's wishes. Attempting to overcome their programming while appearing to carry out their mission, they must find a way of thwarting this super intelligence's megalomaniacal lust for control, but how does one defeat a super intelligence without an ally able to match Quanta's abilities? 

After the death of his wife Amanda, Quinn O'Connor drifts into grief, isolation, and a fragile obsession with becoming a writer. As reality blurs with the worlds he creates, his descent into depression masks a growing, unexpected resilience. Meanwhile, Lori, a cunning black witch, and her opportunistic brother Jerry target Quinn as an easy mark, hoping to exploit his vulnerability for profit—and something far more sinister. But Quinn is no ordinary victim. Armed with a turbulent past and unsettling revelations about creation itself, he becomes the catalyst for a dangerous clash where imagination, darkness, and hidden strength collide in a final reckoning. 

Daniel returns to his altered childhood town seeking refuge from a buried past, taking a room at Powell’s Guest House. There he meets Amber, a fiercely independent woman fighting small-town prejudice while chasing her dream of building a business. Their connection sparks as friction, then ignites into passion, encouraged by her hopeful parents after her traumatic past. Set against hints of Australian folklore, their bond deepens amid lingering wounds, secrets, and inner demons. As fear and memory threaten to destroy them, love becomes a fragile battleground. In the end, redemption—not perfection—emerges, as confront pain and earn a hard-won, bittersweet sense of justice.

In the first book, Trouble In Monarto, arch villain Cassandra was able to escape justice. This fact had long annoyed Alex Jaeger and friends, who had foiled Cassandra's evil design, but there now appears a second chance to settle the score when Spinoza's niece comes to Alex, now working as a private detective, with a threatening note which had been slipped under her hotel room door.

Throughout this second adventure, while seeking final justice, Alex finds himself distracted by the fact that he is growing older, becoming more circumspect and realising that his hell-raising days might be over, necessarily giving way to a less self-serving and more fulfilling existence to become the husband and friend those around him deserve.

Monarto is drowning in a brutal crimewave ruled by bosses Quido Spinoza and his venomous nephew Vincent Zendell. When Alex Jaeger, a retired Special Air Service soldier turned thief, arrives for a quiet holiday, he is mistaken for a hitman and violently pursued. After losing a suitcase of stolen loot, revenge becomes his mission. He teams up with Took, a fringe biker, and Janie, a drug-dependent girl seeking escape. Their quest uncovers a chilling global conspiracy led by the elusive Cassandra. As chaos engulfs the city, three unlikely outcasts rise, risking everything for redemption and to stop an unseen darkness forever ahead.

Two timelines collide in Of Echoes and Shadows, where Ulek, a novice necromancer, must join a ruthless Order or be hunted by its own demonic creation. In a distant era, an injured hitman is saved by the very target he was meant to kill, forcing him to confront loyalty, identity, and the morality of his violent life. As admiration replaces duty, both men are driven toward a shared fate. Across thousands of years, their paths converge atop a towering mesa, where survival, choice, and consequence intertwine in a final, gripping clash between hunter, hunted, and the shadows that bind them forever entwined.

A young man left a lawless and destructive environment behind, to find a whole new way of living.

Discovering the country and the people of Australia - discovering a spiritual existence and even evidence supporting extra-terrestrial alien interference.

Short Story Collection

Stories ranging through idyllic childhood memories, lives in turmoil, dystopian cities, law & order, drug induced nightmares, mania, pure fantasy, and a day in a life.

A montage of characters, surroundings, situations, all reflecting a gamut of the human condition.

Two darkly compelling novellas explore temptation, manipulation, and redemption. In the first, John, trapped in a bleak town and bleaker life, is lured by a sinister, almost enchanted poker machine that feeds on hope while quietly draining far more than money. What begins as harmless escape spirals into a costly, inescapable game. In the second, small-time hustlers Morris and his dim partner Spider owe a dangerous crime boss more than they can repay. Offered a deadly task, they uncover a deeper deception and refuse to kill, instead crafting a risky illusion to survive, outwit their oppressor, and ultimately reclaim their humanity again. 

Book 1: Over The Wall

A prison escapee (an anomalous human being) searches for the truth about himself and all creation, with life-changing results.

Book 2: Beyond The Rim

Earth is in the midst of existential revolution. A company detective for Omni Corp travels to an exploration hub and staging post out near the Kuiper Belt to investigate the mysterious pilfering of stored good from warehouses, costing the company millions.

What he discovers is far beyond anything he might have expected. His calculating mind is perfect for the job, making him the company's top snoop. But his mind is also found to have value to others.

This book centers on a man who suddenly realises he had done very little with his life and given little back to society. After being mugged and receiving a head injury, over the months to follow his mind seems to be functioning much better than ever before. He embarks on the enormous plan of turning the world away from lust for the accumulation of financial wealth and finds a wealthy financier to back him, in the form of a middle-eastern oil seik. The goal of changing the world suddenly appears to come within reach and his time is taken up by touring the world to promote the idea. 

Six short stories and one novella comprise a second volume of short stories following A Montage of A Mauve Reality. Ranging from the fearful, the melancholic, the surreal, and the bizarre, Unsound Minds and the novella Beyond the Rim suddenly broaden the scope of the experience. Meet a man who discovers his whole life is based on a deception, and a hard-bitten corporate snoop sent to an outpost near the distant Kuiper asteroid belt, who steps into a far stickier problem than he ever imagined.
