AN ANCIENT EVIL EMERGES TO CLAIM THE LIVING In the sleepy post-war village of Eskscale, Flora is a beacon of solace and wisdom in her close-knit community. But when a series of bizarre deaths plague the village, leaving lifeless bodies mutilated and drained of their vital essence, fear permeates the once-peaceful hamlet. Rumours of evil forces begin to circulate, and the villagers turn to Flora, their trusted sage, for answers. Driven by an insatiable curiosity and an unwavering determination, Flora embarks on a perilous journey to protect the villagers and her own family, her knowledge of ancient lore serving as her compass. As she unearths the secrets of the newly excavated and restored Drwg Stones, Flora knows there is a connection between the deaths and an ancient malevolence that threatens to devour everything she holds dear. Drwg Stones is a spellbinding tale that seamlessly blends elements of mystery, supernatural intrigue, and historical fiction. Delving into the depths of human nature and the resilience of the human spirit, this haunting novel transports readers to a world where ancient stones hold both secrets and salvation, and a wise woman's knowledge is the key to survival in the face of unimaginable darkness.

It originally began as a short story called 'Carapace' which featured in an anthology edited by Demain Publishing's Dean M. Drinkel. Many readers wanted to know more about that world and "House of Wrax" came to me in a surge of creativity. I wish I had that surge again on a work in progress novel now. That one is fighting back at me.'(Cover by Adrian Baldwin)

From the first novel, Blood Tears, it has gained an enthusiastic following and inspired artwork, music and even tattoos from its readers.It is not a paranormal romance series, the Dark Kind do not sparkle! They are not human or supernatural beings but of a species higher up the food chain than humans. They have no interest in emotional contact with humans which would be considered bestiality to them. Their long life span is a result of their unique biology. Sunlight does not kill them but will permanently blind them. Once much of the known world was ruled by Dark Kind kings and queens, protecting their human subjects from invasions by raiders or barbarian armies. As mankind evolved and multiplied, one by one, the Dark Kind ruled lands were lost, leaving their few survivors to find a way to adapt in the new order of human domination. By the 20th century only one Dark Kind noble exists, Prince Azrar, warlord ruler of Isolann, a remote land ringed by vast black granite mountains in the Upper Balkans. Created to protect his subjects, can Azrar hold back the advances of human society as the 20th century gets closer to his secretive domain?
