What I'm working on now
This is to keep my readers up to date on what I'm working on at the moment.
My immediate project which I've been working on for the past year is called; House of Darke. This is my first venture into a genre called 'Steampunk.' The definition of Steampunk is really to do with nineteenth century steam powered machinery, but I think can also involve clockwork mechinisms too. Originally set in the wild west, but brought up to modern times in the eighties, the adventures can be animals and vehicles made of metal and run by steam or clockwork. Exciting eh?
Initially House of Darke is about a group of teenagers on a bike ride. They stop for a comfort break in the countryside, but a dense mist appears out of nowhere and they are stranded. They stumble along fields and eventually come across a sign; Darke House and beyond is a huge country mansion. But what lies within? Lord Darke is the evil landlord and things spiral out of control from there. The adventure is filled with my usual fast paced excitement and plenty of twists and turns. I'm very excited about this project.
I'm also working on a supernatural series of books, that are going to have the title of, Killian Spooks. I'm hoping this will take me into my biggest series yet. I'm planning on five books. The first will be called, Killian Spooks - The Ghosted Children. The second may be called Killian Spooks - Inside the Dark. Killian will be a teenager with supernatural powers and is called upon to help out lost spectres. It's an idea that I started a few years ago, but Crank Tech got in the way. Now after House of Darke, I'll finally have time to develop and finish the first book. I'm going to set it in ebook and paperback formats.
I've also got ideas for two stand alone sequels to my Crank Tech One series, but that is way off at the moment. On the back burner is a techno adventure called Deathtrap, I'll keep that quiet for now though.
