Plains of Ion: A Dystopian Trilogy
Summary
The sun-scorched tundra shimmers, and blood drips between the cracks. Life on the plains is tough, dangerous, and just plain boring. Elissa dreams of breaking the monotony and winning the Liberty Trials: a hoverbike race around the perimeter of the plains with entry to Neon City at stake. Her town sits in the shadow of the enormous blister of Neon’s dome, within reach and yet forbidden. If she could only win…everything would change. If only the stranger hadn’t appeared. If only she could get Quintessa, one of the three Queens, off her back. If only the murderous Rohen could get exactly what he deserved. So many questions. So many variants. When had life stopped being so boring? A sci-fi dystopian adventure in an inhospitable landscape, Plains of Ion is the second book in an epic series that will explore man’s technological and innate potential, and the search for hope when all looks bleak.

Summary
Even the rain cannot extinguish all the fires now burning throughout Neon.

The authority have rounded up the remaining protesters and mean to make an example out of them. However things end, one thing is for sure - it will never be the same again. A dystopian cyberpunk adventure inside a vast city dome, Purge of Deceit is the closing book in the Neon City trilogy. What cost is freedom?

Flames of Apathy
Summary
Far beneath the city’s depths burns far more than the fuel that feeds it. Stuck in the same dead-end job as his father, Rylan drinks himself into oblivion most nights. Better than the oblivion of the Link, everyone around him a slave to virtual reality. At least that’s what he tells himself. His ex, Clarisse, has found herself a new lover, someone with more than a passing interest in him. They have a job for him, and it involves explosives. Best just to drink this one off. Wait it out, until everyone has regained their senses. That’s the trouble though; everyone acts like robots and he feels like the only one with any sense. Any emotion. Emotion that triggers violence when a new friend exposes the wound inside his heart. A sci-fi dystopian adventure beneath the hyper-tech city of Neon, Flames of Apathy is the third book in an epic series that will explore Man’s technological and innate potential, and the search for hope when all looks bleak.

Neon City
Summary
For some, the streets aren't wild enough. Xi Chen can see beyond the surface level of the work-sleep cycle and the shackles imposed on its population by the city of Neon. He's joined a group of like-minded individuals seeking to force change from the ground up. Only, when change comes, it's not exactly what they had in mind. It's far from what detectives Deke Allinson and Catherine Slay had in mind, too. With so many deaths on their hands, the pressure from above, and their need to "do what is right" stretches them to breaking point. How far are they willing to go to test their loyalty? Book one in a cyberpunk crime and mystery trilogy, Neon City follows on from the Neon Sands Trilogy, with characters old and new fighting to break the chains of slavery.

Neon Sands
Summary
The stars brought life to the planet, and the stars destroyed it. It was ash on fingertips and vast. Stepping upon it gave the impression that it had come not from below, buffed by millions of years of wind slicing against rock, but rather from above; that, perhaps, it had drifted down and settled here. This is the post-apocalyptic sandscape that Calix and Annora must navigate - when they're old enough to join the scavenger crews outside of the domes, that is. They've spent their entire lives within Sanctum, the domed town that protects them from the dangerous sands that storm against the curved wall. But they are orphans, with questions about their heritage. With a childhood that prepares them to become scavengers. With a father figure in Kirillion who has an agenda all of his own - just what are they searching for when the scavenger crews depart? All grown up, they join Walker's crew, scouring the sand in giant Crawlers, ready to dig. When an accident unlocks childhood memories and murder, questions arise within the crew about where their allegiances lie and what their true purpose is. And then, their search hits the big time. A sci-fi dystopian adventure in an inhospitable landscape, Neon Sands is the opening book in an epic series that will explore man’s technological and innate potential and the search for hope when all looks bleak.

Tides of Hysteria
Summary
It's time for a generation to take its final stand. The city is divided; which side do you stand on? The authority’s? Or the lowcases? Across Neon, the elite and the protesters are rising to battle for their future; for their children and the generations to come. To keep down the boot, or to rise from the darkness. Just what is freedom anyway when the walls of your oppression are everywhere you look?

The Risen: Part II
Summary
It's not the dead that scare her. Nor is it the living. It's her reflection that she fears. Born of beast, through blood and bile and spewing guts. A beast she must temper, while her humanity scrambles in the earthenware of the world of once-before. She did not know her parents, but they are there every day - in the mirror, in her burning eyes, in her twisted ways. And in those dead still roaming the Welsh hillsides and towns. From the farm to the distant sea, mutates and those at the apex must learn to fear her while the rest must learn to accept her. Or else...
