'West Wickham, England, 1871

'A quiet country village is rocked by murder. Police have no leads and no clues, apart from the grisly state of the victim's body.

'Evidence points to a supernatural killer, but Professor Twickham is curiously reluctant to lend his assistance.

'Roberta, his daughter, has no such qualms, and she involves me in the case as well... only to turn around and abandon me for a sick friend.

'Now I must unmask the vicious killer on my own, but had I only known the truth, I'd never have got involved...'

2019 shortlisted Aurealis Awards for Excellence in Australian Speculative Fiction Horror Division Novel
y separately published work icon Peace Force Belmont : Bowman Publishing , 2018 14899972 2018 single work novel science fiction

'Welcome to the Peace Force!

'Would you work for a deranged robot? Harriet Walsh does!

'It's her first day on the job, and Peace Force trainee Harriet Walsh is given a pretend case to solve. It's not like she can take on a real case, because Dismolle is a peaceful planet and there's absolutely no crime.

'That's about to change, though, because Harriet's unearthed some real, live suspects. Now she just has to find out what kind of crime they're committing!

'Unfortunately, Harriet's weapon won't fire without the right paperwork, the patrol car keeps asking her out, and her crime-fighting computer is so basic it doesn't have solitaire.

'No wonder some call it the Peace Farce!'
