I'm pleased to announce my latest publication, IT'S A CURSE, volume 7 in Paul D. Brazill's DRUNK ON THE MOON series starring his werewolf PI. Roman Dalton’s woken up in the wrong place again, but he can’t blame it on the moon this time. Finding himself in a tug-of-war between two lovely women might sound like he’s landed in clover, but one wants to ‘save’ him and the other—well, he’s got a feeling she’s a whole lot of trouble wrapped up in a designer gown. As far as our favourite werewolf PI’s concerned, IT’S A CURSE.

My first novel, Dark Innocence: Book One of the Star-Seer's Prophecy has just been released by Rose Press, and is now available on Amazon.com.  E-book formats to come in 2012.

This is a story of mystery and intrigue, courage and endurance, secrets and forbidden love, set in a world of blood sorcery and ritual magic. In this adult fantasy, the hero, Kyr, is a slave who knows only pain and evil, yet the Star-Seer's Prophecy foretells that he is the only one who can restore the Sacred Balance of the mortal and divine realms.
