Broken World Audio Edition

Yes, that's right!  Broken World will soon become available in audiobook format. The three darkly humorous dystopian stories that make up Broken World will be narrated by the mind-bogglingly talented Wayne Farrell , who used his extraordinary talents to such great effect on the audio edition of The End of the World . I've already heard a sample of what Wayne's been up to with this book, and I can tell you it's going to be a fantastic finished product. So, with the holidays coming up, don't forget to put a few audiobooks of mine on your wish list, because nothing says "Christmas" more than dark, disturbing visions of a world in decay! Ho, ho, ho!

New Release: Broken World

Image
I've just released my latest collection " BrokenWorld " on Amazon, which consists of three darkly humorous dystopian short stories set in a world gone wrong. Are these tales a harbinger of the future of our planet or a testament to what's already taken place? Perhaps they're both. I hope you'll check it out and decide for yourself... Broken World : Three strange and darkly humorous dystopian tales of a world gone wrong: Cafe Grotesquerie In a broken world there exists a strange and sinister eating establishment unlike anything known or imagined - referred to in some quarters as Cafe Grotesquerie - where only the most discriminating and well-connected are privileged enough to enter its doors and devour its dark delicacies. Once inside, however, status still reigns supreme, and for one particular couple - Audrey and Aubrey - a hunger for power proves far more desirable than anything on the menu. But when confronted by a supercilious sommeli...

The End of the World Book Trailer

Image
I've finally got around to doing something that I'd wanted to do for a while now, and that is to produce a book trailer for my contemporary fantasy novella The End of the World. I hope you'll take a look. It's only a couple of minutes long, which in the big scheme of things is really just a nanosecond of your life. And if you do, I hope you enjoy it!

Schism

I'm currently hard at work on my next book which has the working title "Schism" (and unlikely to change from that - but never say never, right?). You can pronounce that either with or without the "k" sound, but I pronounce it with. Also, I believe the non-k ("sism") pronunciation is more generally used when referring to religious matters, and this book has no religious themes in it at all. It's a dark, psychological mystery thriller that centers around a very unique and troubled character named Horatio Higgins. It'll hopefully be both humorous and entertaining and down right disturbing, being, as it is, a product of my mind's blender of the witty and the warped. Here's an early version of the blurb: Horatio Higgins recently lost his job. He also lost his parents, so he claims, though the precise cause (and truth) of their demise remains something of an enigma. Living alone in his tiny flat, Horatio’s sense of isolation is ...
