I write high-concept British Urban Fantasy that warps the familiar into the fantastical.
My standalone debut, The Terminus Of All Things, is a mind-bending urban portal fantasy set in the chaotic, dystopian world of Endland, a mirror version of England.

In my current WIP one of the characters wears an 'oversized changing robe'. I had used the brand name at first, because it's so ubiquitous, but pulled back when I saw how jealously they protect their name. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

What's the most batshit crazy thing your family didn't bother telling you for years and years? For me, it's that my Mum bumped (literally) into Frank Sinatra in a hotel lobby in Vegas in the 60s, and he helped her pick up the slot machine winnings that she threw everywhere as a result.

Really sad to hear about the death of Jill Freud whom I had the privilege of working for as an assistant half a lifetime (mine) ago. She was an incredible woman then, and based on her daughter Emma's telling of her passing, remained incredible at the age of 98. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no...
Jill Freud, Love Actually actor and inspiration for Lucy in Narnia books, dies aged 98
The actor ran her own theatre company and was described by her daughter Emma as ‘feisty, outrageous, kind, loving and mischievous’

Yesterday I made my wife come with me on the Circle Line from Baker Street to Embankment, rather than the far faster Bakerloo Line route, just so I could (for .05 seconds) see a railway cutting where I set a scene in my next book.
Because that's how I roll. A slave to my craft.

Just a reminder that there's an urban FANTASY book with an alternate England packed with long lost beliefs and brands, a RELUCTANT QUEST to save both worlds AND a super SLOW BURN love story.

Have you read a book by an indie author recently? I bet it surprised you with how good it was.
Want to know how to support indie authors?
Review their books. Doesn't matter where, just put your bookish thoughts down and provide some social proof of how great indie books can be.

I've often advised indie authors who are struggling to finish/publish their book to set a deadline and create a sense of urgency.
But it works the other way too. My new novel COULD be ready within 6 weeks but I've announced a date of Feb 16th. It will be all the better for breathing.

Endland is a mirror version of England-a resting place for forgotten brands, products, and beliefs. A chaotic realm built on the discarded remnants of English society. But is it The Terminus Of All Things?

Why should urban fantasy The Terminus Of All Things deserve a spot in your TBR?
Because there's nothing else like it.
Reviewers are calling it:
"highly original"
"unlike anything you've read recently...or ever!"
"a quiet surprise"
mybook.to/terminusofallthings
Oh, it's on KU as well.

It feels as though we invent new genres the whole time, and normally I shy away from that.
But today I learned that my novel is genuinely SalvagePunk and I am totally leaning into that.

The cover of The Terminus Of All Things (British urban fantasy - portals - dystopia - nostalgia) is one of the loveliest things I've ever been a part of. And now I'm doing it all again for my new novel, Curious Physiologies.

The Terminus Of All Things is nostalgic British urban fantasy. What happens to brands when they die? How do you make room for human creativity? And what happens when there isn't room for new ideas any longer? Spoiler alert: it's not good.
