Hieronymus Jones and the teacup squid, Book One.
Hieronymus Jones was a strange boy, a hair past fifteen, tall and pale with jet black hair, dark brown eyes and a very peculiar kind of mind. If he was not the smartest thing on the planet, he was a very close second. He had secrets, dark and terrible, wonderful and pure. Secrets of hidden worlds with lost people, that were not entirely human. Most unusually, he held secrets… of magic. When Hieronymus Jones saw Gertrude Green for the first time, he sat up a little straighter in his seat. She was an odd girl with a smattering of freckles across her pale skin, impossibly red hair and perfect green eyes. She too had secrets. Together they would discover a connection to each other, far deeper than either could have imagined. Mysterious pendants, evil twisted mounds of monstrous flesh and school bullies are one thing, but when a small unimpressed squid makes a nest in Hieronymus’s cup of tea, something clearly needs to be done. Honestly, this is TEA we are talking about, don’t these creatures have any manners? The first book in a fantasy romance series, awash with bleeding edge technology, magic, humour and hideous tentacle laden, Lovecraftian nightmares, that are coming to kill the world… woot

Hieronymus Jones and the Lemurian Concern, Book Two.
Hieronymus Jones and Gertrude Green, embark on their greatest adventure… since the last one.
What do those glyphs carved into millennia old rock mean? What is the
ancient mystery the island protects? Why must the hideous slime covered, viciously mutated, uproariously evil, tentacle covered monsters be sooooo obnoxious?
Hiero and Gerty have always kept a part of themselves hidden, afraid the truth would drive others away but in a sea of secrets, can their most unusual friendship survive the things they dare not reveal?
Hiero and Gerty will seek the answers to these questions and will also ask the most difficult question of all… Are we really just friends?
Return to a world of wild magic, hidden creatures and high technology. Return to a world where not everyone is what they appear to be.

Hieronymus Jones and the Lullaby for the drowned.
A shadow is falling over the island, one that threatens to tear apart two exclusive best friends… figuratively and literally.
Will their young hearts be ground to a fine paste under the uncaring boot heel of far too many people, things and monsters who should really be doing something more constructive than pooping all over Hiero and Gerty’s good time?
The Mayor and his sociopathic whack-job of a son are bad enough but even their unfortunate levels of jerk-ness can’t compete with the thing that has just clawed its way into the bowels of the island. Will Gerty ever get to ask Hiero her most important question?
New secrets and enemies are revealed, new feelings are realized and hope is fought for and lost. Return to a world of magic, hidden civilizations, impossibly advanced technology, and far too many blonde little snots running around with sharp objects. A world where Hiero and Gerty will be forced to remember something they never thought they would be forced to endure again.
What it feels like to be alone.
Hieronyums Jones and the Emperor of the drowned.
Hieronymus Jones will die in forty-nine days. The Ori Ki’al’s seed uttered that massively disturbing sentence, thirty-one days ago. So Hieronymus Jones will die in eighteen days… Hooray.
The Fae on the island are having their ability to hide beneath human masks, torn away from them. What does this mean? Hiero and Gerty have their snuggle time seriously curtailed when a group of non-human high-schoolers invade the library. Which frankly is unacceptable.
There is more going on than is immediately apparent and Hiero and Gerty have a fairly shrewd idea that it has something to do with the vast, cannibalistic, half-insane, cephalopod nightmare that is coming to kill and consume the world… like a jerk.
The Emperor has allies in his quest for the pendant, foul tentacle waggling abominations, not to mention a certain young woman named Lillith, who is rapidly working her way up Hiero’s list of things that will probably kill him.
Join Hiero and Gerty for the devastating final confrontation with the Emperor of the drowned, where they will lose more than they ever thought possible. They will lose… everything. The countdown has started, brace yourself.
The new girl in Jexa’s class was a little different than most. Vivid white fur, long velvety ears, an impossibly adorable tail, and eyes that were such a dark brown, they were almost black. She was one of the first yokai students to be placed in an all-human school and from the second Fred strode confidently into her new classroom, things went straight to crap.
Racism, loneliness, isolation, inexplicably smelling and touching the human guy who has a yokai name for some reason, Fred has a lot to deal with. Her inability to keep her obvious and copious amounts of crazy from flowing out onto the footpath in clear view of Jexa is also not doing her any favours.
They live in a world where she is seen as less than human, and he is at the forefront of a conflict that will probably get them both killed. Together they will ask, can a human and a yokai ever be friends? Can they ever be more?
An irreverent and touching high school romance told with a fresh and unique voice, that will have you laughing out loud and holding your breath in suspense. Set against a backdrop of racism, arrogant goldfish, origami leaves, and first love.
Yokai: Paper leaves is the first novel from the ongoing Yokai anthology series.
