Works In Progress

Venom of Choice is a haunting gothic novel of faith, desire, and transformation, told through the voice of a monk whose life becomes legend. Set within a remote monastery steeped in ritual and silence, the story follows Brother Cuthbert, an apothecary whose quiet devotion is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious novice. As bonds deepen and tensions rise, ancient knowledge, creeping dread, and the weight of unseen forces begin to fracture the fragile world around them. Blending historical richness with supernatural unease, Venom of Choice explores the dangerous edge where love, belief, and the unknown converge—and asks what it truly means to choose between salvation and surrender.

In the heat-scorched deserts of Egypt during the Crusades, a French knight named Guillaume is separated from his army and left to wander alone beneath an unforgiving sun. On the edge of death, he discovers a hidden passage beneath the sand—one that leads not to salvation, but to something far older than the war he left behind.

Deep below the desert lies a palace untouched by time, where an ancient being of fire waits in silent captivity. Azhar, a djinn bound by forgotten sorcery, offers Guillaume a bargain: complete a task in the buried ruins nearby, and he will be granted wealth, survival, and a path back to the world he lost.

But the desert remembers what men try to bury.

As Guillaume ventures into the ruins of a city swallowed by centuries, he encounters remnants of older empires, lingering magic, and the echo of a man whose ambition defied death itself. What begins as a simple quest for survival becomes something far more dangerous—a confrontation with power, belief, and the limits of human understanding.

Son of Fire is a haunting historical fantasy where crusade and myth collide, and where the stories we carry may outlive us all.

Summoned to a secluded estate on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Father Phillip finds himself among a circle of learned strangers whose interests lie at the uneasy boundary between theology and the supernatural. As a storm seals them within, their host proposes an evening of stories—tales of faeries, spirits, and things long dismissed by reason. When the others decline, all eyes turn to Phillip. What follows is no fiction, but a confession: of an existence that defies nature, of faith tested across centuries, and of a past that refuses to remain buried. By the time his story reaches its end, it is no longer clear who has summoned whom—or why.
