Book: Zeebran Denath

Zeebran Denath is the first novel which I actually completed, way back in (about) 1984.

It started out as a simple story of a young man's quest to save the life of his grandfather by summoning a powerful wizard to help him. The Wizard, however, turned out to be not quite what he expected him to be. Neither did the journey home or the battle to save the dying grandfather as the young man discovered that, travelling with a wizard one is drawn into the magic and mystery of a mystical other world where you have to help elves to battle alien invaders.

This book is pure fantasy and in it the distinctions between fantasy, horror and science fiction are not even acknowledged. In this world anything can happen. It is the only book I have written which is not tainted by adult themes and is perfectly safe to be read by or to children of all ages, from six to one hundred and six. As my first book and commemorating the death of my own grandfather it will always have a special place in my heart. One day I propose to write a sequel. I haven't got around to that yet but the book stands well on its own. This book was written before my gaming days and is untainted by game rules and combat rounds.

Book: Old Soldier

Details the life of General John Wulf, a latter day great Speman General who saves The Florenian Empire from an attempted goblin invasion. The book shows how the actions of The Spemen Gods have altered The World Of Spem (as those deities battle against the alien deities causing a shift in the balance of power and changes in the rules of magic). The novel is as much about the man and his battle with mid-life crisis. How he responds to the cruelties of fate and transcends their rigours to find true love. (Featuring cameo appearances from two characters who are first met in the middle period of the Quest for Immortality series and The Goddess Aurelia herself).

Book: Fadim.... (The Princess and the Pauper)

This is a novel about a simple camel driver who falls in love with a princess and his attempts to win her heart. It is set in the harsh desert reaches of the unforgiving Al Quaid, the desert of stone known as The Vast Empty, so harsh that its very emptiness threatens to send even the strong willed and stout hearted insane.

Fadim seeks and tries to follow the advice of four renowned wise men. The novel explores the areas of class, age and racial prejudices and the nature of wisdom itself and questions its attribution to individuals. Who decides who is called wise?

Series: The Quest for Immortality

The Quest for Immortality series is an epic tale of six brave adventurers on a quest to achieve immortality. The tale takes you through their highs and lows as the face a myriad of dangers - from Goblins and Orcs, to Demons and Dragons, and possibly the most deadly of all - their own race! This is a 28 volume series. For more details please visit The Quest for Immortality section.

Series: Young Bucks

After several thousand years of bedlam and unpredictable changes to the rules The Gods' Wars are resolved in an uneasy truce which results in a negotiated return to the pre-ascension rules of magic.

The book follows the first two adventures of a group of ten youngsters of leaveling age (or close thereto). This group is started as zero level characters and the book sees them train up to become beginning professionals and form an adventuring company and their first harrowing adventure beyond. It is also my first real attempt to generate a truly Speman City campaign. Set in Floren City where magic is illegal, on pain of death, and there are generally no monsters or humanoids, everything encountered is either speman or capable of disguising itself as such.

In the first adventure The Young Bucks have to find a single man in the vastness of the city and resolve conflicts with local street gangs in so doing. In the second adventure they are involved in investigating a spate of bizarre murders, discovering what evil is responsible for murdering and mutilating young virgins.
