Professionally, he has published The Royal Sorceress, Bookworm, A Life Less Ordinary, Sufficiently Advanced Technology, The Royal Sorceress II: The Great Game and Bookworm II: The Very Ugly Duckling with Elsewhen Press, and Schooled in Magic through Twilight Times Books.

Blog postThe Romanov Rescue
by Tom Kratman, Justin Watson, Kacey Ezell
“I can [speak to your father that way, Anastasia],” Chekov said, quietly maintaining eye contact with Nicholas. “I can because he isn’t the emperor anymore, and he isn’t the emperor anymore because he refused to hear the things he didn’t want to hear.”

From: An Unbiased History of the Imperial Royal Family. Professor Leo Caesius. Avalon. 206PE.
Prince Roland did not have an easy life.
He was raised a spoilt brat, to use his own words, and was incredibly lucky to survive the series of disasters that culminated in Earthfall. His escape – with the aid of Specialist Belinda Lawson, a Terran Marine Pathfinder – lead him straight to the Terran Marine Corps, an act that put a political hot3 weeks ago Read more -

Afterword
“This is a quiet, frightened, insignificant old man who has been nothing all his life, who has never had recognition, his name in the newspapers. Nobody knows him, nobody quotes him, nobody seeks his advice after seventy-five years. That’s a very sad thing, to be nothing. A man like this needs to be recognized, to be listened to, to be quoted just once. This is very important. It would be so hard for3 weeks ago Read more -
Blog postMovie Review: Sonic The Hedgehog 2
I was not expecting to like Sonic the Hedgehog when my sons insisted on watching it (again and again and again). I grew up playing the early Sonic games and reading Sonic the Comic, and I admit to a great deal of affection for them, but the later games and takes on the character did not impress me. Worse, Hollywood has a long history of taking franchises and screwing them up because the writers don’t understand why they became popular in3 weeks ago Read more -
Blog postHi, everyone
This is just a short update. Sorry.
I finished the first draft of The Infused Man last week and it is currently with the editor, who will hopefully get back to me as soon as possible. I’ve been taking it easy since then, writing the short Frieda’s Tale novella at the rate of one chapter a day (snippet) with a plan to start The Prince’s Alliance once my children go back to school in a couple of weeks.

Blog post–Michael Alpert
One does not normally think of the Spanish Civil War as a naval war. It was the fighting on land that determined the winner, with much of the naval fighting serving as little more than a sideshow at best. The only real time the navies might have made a significant impact on the tactical level was during the early weeks and months of the war, when Franco and the Nationalists were shipping troops from North Africa to the mainland.

Blog postPrologue I
Background: The following is a transcript of a speech given by Mistress Irene, Administrator of Heart’s Eye, shortly after the university was nearly destroyed by a combination of student misbehaviour and outside infiltration. It was surprisingly well received, as the speech represents one of the very few times senior authority figures acknowledged their own mistakes, and their roles in creating crisis that brought them to the brink of disaster.

Titles By Christopher G. Nuttall
Isolated and alone, Elliot accepted an offer of employment from Princess Helen of Johor and finds himself travelling to the heart of her kingdom, to a city caught between the stagnant past, the hope of a better future and factions threatening to burn the world down rather than risk letting it be saved.
And, as Elliot goes to work, he finds himself threatened by powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to see him brought down…
Elliot Richardson thought he’d lost everything.
He’d come home from deployment to find his wife cheating on him, his sons strangers and his life in tatters. Driving away, unsure where he was going, he fell through an interdimensional rift and found himself in a very different world, a city of magic and mystery and dangers beyond his comprehension, a land spinning out of control as innovations from the distant west unsettle the monarchy and challenge the position of the aristocrats and warlords that hold the kingdom in their grasp.
Powerless and alone, with no way home, Elliot struggles to survive long enough to make a new life. But as war looms on the horizon, he finds himself forced to use his skills to make a name for himself, all too aware that the slightest slip will mean instant death - or worse.
... Until now.
During the Virus War, human explorers discovered proof of alien technology that was beyond human understanding, technology so strange it was impossible even to guess at its function. Now, in the aftermath of the war, HMS Endeavour embarks on a mission to the core of the alien civilisation ...
... And discovers a mystery older than the human race itself.
Roland scored one victory, keeping the rebels from winning in a single blow, but the war is far from over. Rebel forces have swept over the outlying islands, destroying plantations, capturing infrastructure, liberating slaves while forcing their former owners to flee or die on the remains of their lands. Now, with both sides preparing for the coming contest, Roland – cut off from the Marine Corps – finds himself charged with leading the government troops, to launch a desperate military gambit to win a war against a rebel force that might have right on its side. And if his gambit fails …
… The entire planet may collapse into chaos.
Kabat has stayed out of trouble because the tiny kingdom’s government has avoided all involvement with the outside world, maintaining its independence and economic clout through careful development, quiet international alliances and the occasional use of naked force. But now, the government is on the verge of going rogue, of turning the country into a rogue state that will either collapse or find itself in the crosshairs of the entire world. There is only one hope – mercenaries, Executive Solutions, must launch a coup to overthrow the rulers and save the kingdom from itself ...
…And yet, if they fail, they will find themselves trapped, abandoned and left to die.
Now, one of the galaxy’s superpowers has set its sights on Earth, launching a covert campaign to weaken and isolate the human race before it moves in for the kill. As their plan comes into the open, and the scale of the threat becomes apparent, the human race finds itself caught between a war it cannot win and shameful submission to dangerously inhuman race ...
... And if Earth loses the war, humanity’s short-lived independence will come to an end once again.
Facing a war they will lose even if they win, the Alphans give humanity its independence once again. Humanity stands alone in a hostile universe, facing alien threats that regard humans as nothing more than servants - or weaklings, easy meat for armed conquest. And if the human race cannot learn to stand on its own two feet, without its masters, it will rapidly discover that it has traded one set of masters for another ...
... And if they lose the coming war, all hope of independence will die with it.
And now, all that stands between him and his goal is his adopted daughter, Emily herself.
Gathering her allies, Emily prepares herself to return to Whitehall, to face the most dangerous opponent she has ever faced. But as she pits the new world against the old in a desperate bid to undo Void's work before it is too late, she is forced to confront a deadly truth...
Is it possible that Void might be right?
But now, as Isabella and her fiancé return from their holiday in Shallot, those secrets are starting to slip into the light. Strange lights have been seen on the mire, ghosts have been walking the halls, ancient artefacts have been discovered and the ground itself, tainted by dark magics, is threatening to give up its dead And, as Isabella finds herself caught in an ever-growing nightmare, it becomes clear that the disaster is not limited to Kirkhaven …
… And the magic crisis has only just begun.
But now, unsure what to do with him, his superiors set him a task. Roland has to take command of a training mission and travel to New Doncaster, a planet on the verge of exploding into civil war. His mission is to build an army and stabilise the situation as quickly as possible ...
... But, for an untried prince in a snake pit, facing enemies on both sides of the war, it will be far from easy ...
Earth has fallen. The Core Worlds have collapsed into chaos. War is breaking out everywhere as planetary governments declare independence, entire sectors slip out of contact and warlords battle for power. The remnants of the once-great Empire are tearing themselves apart. And, in the shadows, the Terran Marine Corps works to save what little they can to preserve civilisation and build a better tomorrow. But now they might have met their match.
The marines have beaten off a desperate attempt by the corporate worlds to recover Hameau, but the war is very far from over. The corprats remain powerful, gathering their strength to resume the offensive, locate the marines and impose their society on the ruins of empire. To stop them, the marines will have to stake everything on a desperate gamble to tear out the heart of the enemy empire and slay the fascist beast in its lair.
But the enemy are equally desperate to win ...
When Sameena’s brother accidentally annoys a religious leader on her homeworld, her entire family is targeted for elimination. Forced to flee to save her life, Sameena stows away on a trader starship and is eventually welcomed into the crew, embracing their very different culture and making a new life for herself amongst the stars.
But the Galactic Empire is starting the final descent into chaos and her new home is on the verge of collapse, while secretive forces are manoeuvring to take advantage of the Empire’s collapse. If Sameena cannot find a way to keep some small part of civilisation intact, the galaxy will crash into a new dark age that will last far longer than a thousand years.
