Blog postA classic science fiction masterpiece… with a Cthulhu Mythos twist.
First published in 1896, H. G. Wells classic novel tells of a shipwrecked Englishman, Edward Prendick stranded on the South Pacific island-home of Doctor Moreau, a notorious physiologist who practiced gruesome experiments in vivisection transforming animals into human hybrids. But Wells’ published version omitted the most gruesome details. Published for the first time, this reportedly true version of Prendick’s -
Blog postMy latest Cthulhu Mythos short story collection is out and available on Amazon and Kobo, CTHULHU UNMASKED.
These stories while set in the Harrison Peel universe (and the wider Cthulhu Mythos universe) don’t feature Peel himself, but include several characters, Outer Gods, tomes, locations and cults that also appear in the main Peel series.
These tales are reprints, but I’ve gone back and revised and edited them all.
Stories include “Sister of the Sands”, -

Blog postI’m appearing in a new anthology out later in the year, Tides of Possibility, formulated from the idea that the rise of the indie author is upon us, that many of those authors write science fiction. This is an anthology to celebrate the success of the new form of 21st Century SF writer, and I’m glad to be a part of it.
A science fiction anthology from the rising stars of indie-publishing in Texas and beyond, edited by K.J. Russell with cover art by David Sidebotham. &nbs -

Blog postThe sheer variety of exoplanets is making us rethink science fiction. The variety of alien terrains that heroic space adventurers will now be subjected to is likely to be more bizarre than anything we’ve yet encountered, or at least that is what David Kernot and I think.
Therefore, in celebration of the recent release of our book Extreme Planets, the first anthology of exoplanet tales featuring carbon planets, water worlds, super-Earths and lava planets, we would like to draw your -

Blog post2013 was an interesting year for me on the writing front, mostly because I followed the lead of Shane Jiraiya Cummings and Hugh Howey, and tried self-publishing through Amazon and Smashwords with far greater success than I could have imagined when I first set out.
Despite the naysayers of the established pros and the fear self-publishing is generating in the world today, I think it is a great opportunity for writers, offering more than one path to success in the industry. I've been -
Blog postA late post but this year I appeared in the Cthulhu Mythos Writers Sampler 2013, available for 99c from Amazon, which I assisted in pulling together.
The book has proved to be rather successful considering the number of downloads and positive reviews. My contribution included a sample from my Harrison Peel series. Here is the blurb:
Inside this book you’ll find a taste of some of today’s top Cthulhu Mythos and Lovecraftian writers.

Blog postA group of Aussie authors got together and produced this sampler, featuring seven authors and one Australian artist. I'm one of them, and here is the blurb:
Inside this book you’ll find a taste of some of Australia’s top horror writers.

“Harry's Dead Poodle” by David Kernot – tells us there is -
Blog postBest Tales of the Apocalypse edited by D.L. Snell and Bobbie Metevier is now released. It took a while to be released, considering the manuscript was completed more than 5 years ago, but I'm excited nonetheless mostly because of the authors I'm sharing space with.
In these 14 shattering tales by some of the genre’s first and final scribes, the world doesn’t just end once. These are the horsemen, the trumpeting angels. Their words are the bowls of wrath, dumped again and again. This -

Blog postI was rather pleased to see this review go up the other day, of the first my connected novella series The Impossible Object. at Best Science Fiction Stories.
"The Impossible Object is what I have been waiting to read of Lovecraftian fiction since pretty much forever. It delves into the specifics of the entities of the Mythos, presents horrifying sights and hints at a far greater mystery (and threat) in quick succession, making the reader dive head-first into the horrifying worl -

Undead & Unbound celebrates those who have returned from the grave — in all their glory and in whatever form they take. You will find the famous blood-drinkers and flesh eaters here, but also ghosts, patched-together reanimates, fiends of myth and folklore, and some not-so-easily-identifiable creatures from beyond the grave.

Blog postMy latest collection, The Nightmare Dimension, is now available on Kindle.

Blog postThe great Iain Banks as died, a fantastic author who was a huge influence on my writing. I was particularly fond of Consider Phlebas, which I still consider one of my top 10 favourite books of all time. To me it remains one of the best space operas ever written.
He wrote consistently good novels, in both science fiction and literary fiction, Use of Weapons, The Player of Games, Surface Detail, The Wasp Factory, Walking on Glass, The Bridge, Crow Road and Complicity to name my f -
