My Books

I’ve written six fantasy novels so far.

Four of my books are part of a modern fantasy series that can be read in any order or as standalones, The Lords of the Summer Season, The Lords of the West End, The Lords of Powder and The Lords of Oblivion. The hero of these stories is the almost immortal magician, Bradan, who has lived 15 centuries, but appears to be only 30 years old. He was once Merlin’s apprentice in Dark Ages Britain. Nowadays, he hides his magical talents and tries to lead a normal life. However, supernatural terrors arise that force him to deploy his sorcery.

I’ve also written a historical fantasy, The Jinn and the Two Kingdoms. Here, the magical entity, Thiago, is a jinn straddling his own world of mystical enchantment and the medieval Spanish court. He confronts murderous intrigue in both places. His life is further complicated by his romantic feelings toward a clever and pretty court scribe.

My latest yarn is the The Gods’ Magician, a mashup of epic fantasy and sword & sorcery with gods, demons, and a roguish antihero for fans of Robert E. Howard or Joe Abercrombie.

If you’ve read and enjoyed any of these novels, please rate and/or review them on Amazon or Goodreads. Or say a kind word on your Instagram, TikTok, or other social media accounts.   

Below are the covers and descriptions of my books.

“I’m supernatural, not superhuman. And I’m barely supernatural.”

In 1986 London, Bradan is the ultimate New Wave gentleman: a charming, immortal magician who sells cool art and uses a little sorcery, audacity, and luck to navigate his wild life. With his synth-pop band, Silicon Saturday, climbing the charts, and his two phantom friends, a Victorian-era thief and a ghost who haunts his Jaguar sportscar, Bradan’s biggest problem is managing his complex romantic life.

That is, until he shoots an unauthorized music video at Stonehenge.

Bradan’s music accidentally awakens two rival Fae factions, catapulting him into a deadly, centuries-old blood feud. Now, a lethally terrifying Fae Queen wants him dead for his impudence, and a psychopathic Miami drug lord he also managed to offend is closing in fast.

But the true crisis is the war between worlds. Human vices and toxic waste are literally invading the Fae realm, flooding the ancient, forgotten rivers that run beneath the West End. As the human and Faerie realms collide in a spectacular, drug-fueled occult thriller, this centuries-old magician must leverage all his Arthurian-era magic and New Romantic attitude to save his city, his friends, and both worlds from certain annihilation.

“I’m always a thief, occasionally a pirate, and an enchanter when needed.”

And Kelrik of Ebon Crossing desperately needs his enchantment in a world of demons, angry gods and goddesses – and men as greedy as any of them. He’s stolen a supernatural talisman fought over by rival deities locked in a brutal war that threatens the world. The talisman has enormous powers, and Kelrik plans to sell it for an ungodly pile of gold. Seeking the highest bidder, he flees gods’ wrath and eerie creatures across a hellscape of collapsing kingdoms. Adding fuel to the fire, Kelrik’s fellow thieves – and supposed partners – might murder him and seize the talisman.  

However, Kelrik comes to realize that the talisman isn’t a prize to be fought over. It’s the key to settling the war. So he must choose between wealth beyond counting or letting battling gods shatter the world.  

The Gods’ Magician is spells gone wrong, desperate swordplay, and frozen blood on the snow.  It’s a dark, fast-paced sword and sorcery novel about a cynical thief who steals a god’s talisman and becomes the target of divine and demonic powers. Set in a brutal world of ice, magic, and greed, the story mixes classic pulp adventure with modern character depth. 

Thiago doesn’t think of himself as a demon, but he is. He’s a thief too, and therein lies this story.

A portal connects medieval Arabia to a magical kingdom of mile-high palaces and brewing revolution ruled by a mad king. Thiago, a daredevil jinn, uses the portal to seize the king’s treasure.

Thiago can become fire and windstorms. However, his enemies – and that’s almost everyone including the king he stole from – are even more powerful. They’ll slaughter Thiago to recover the treasure.

Helping Thiago – or not – are a brilliant and beautiful scribe who might be Thiago’s friend, a pretty demon who isn’t Thiago’s lover anymore, and a motley collection of magical bandits. But will they share the treasure with Thiago if they recover it?

And there’s more at stake than treasure. The demon and human realms will violently collide if the king recovers his treasure from Thiago and uses it to finance his invasion of the human world. Thiago began as a humble thief, but now he must stop a supernatural war.

Bradan grew up in Camelot and grew famous during San Francisco’s Summer of Love. He’s nearly immortal, a talented musician, but only a mediocre magician.

That’s unfortunate because he’ll need more than pretty lyrics to confront a Celtic warlord and a Welsh god hell-bent on collecting souls. They’re also immortal and Bradan clashed with them 15 centuries ago. They haven’t forgotten.

Theirs is a duel through history with savage fights in Camelot and Renaissance Florence. Now its 1967 and they’ve found him again, and they lead an army of specters intent on murdering him. Bradan’s only friends are the ghost haunting motorcycle, his lunatic band-mates, and a witch with uncertain loyalties. There won’t be much love this summer unless Bradan defeats a warlord and a god. And his friends die too if he doesn’t win the fight.

This is fantasy with a dash of psychedelia.

At the height of Miami’s cocaine wars, a magician pursues a fortune smuggling and woos a pretty musician while eluding drug cartels and the police.

In this blend of modern fantasy, thriller and historical fiction, Bradan has led an eventful life at various times fleeing Vikings and joining court-life in medieval Andalusia. In 1978 Miami, he drives a haunted Volvo station wagon, keeps a high-strung wolf, and collects art for his Palm Beach condo. However, he needs money for his lifestyle. Lots of money.

Bradan uses his magical talents to organize a lucrative smuggling ring, but success brings him to the attention of violent players in the drug trade as well as narcotics detectives, the Coast Guard, and the DEA. He’s also forced to balance the profitability of his vocation with its consequences for his relationships, humanity, and survival.

A lethal conflict starts in Dark Ages Britain and ends in modern San Francisco, all in one conjuror’s lifetime.

Bradan is fifteen centuries old, looks 30, and lives in San Francisco. He’s an environmentalist, drives a haunted Tesla and keeps a wolf. Life’s good and he’s almost forgotten his youth in war-torn, ancient Britain where he acquired the secret of near immortality, but also betrayed his civilization. Bradan is confronted with his past when two Celtic priests who orchestrated his treason are resurrected.

The priests come to revere San Francisco’s natural beauty and try to erase humanity by provoking a catastrophic earthquake that will return the city to a pre-urban state. In this collision of modernity and nature, Bradan works desperately to use his limited magical skills, current technology, and his wits to challenge the priests. If he doesn’t win this battle, he’ll be annihilated with millions of other souls.
