IMPERFECT MAGIC
Book 1
OUT NOW ON EBOOK, PAPERBACK AND AUDIOBOOK. FREE TO READ IN KINDLE UNLIMITED.
After hundreds of years of dying, you’d think I would’ve perfected it by now…
One moment I’m a heretical priest in the twelfth century, hunted, hated…The next, I’m waking up in the nearest corpse. Stuck in a cycle of instant reincarnation, popping back up like a tarnished penny.
Fast forward eight hundred years, and you might think Iโve learned a thing or two. Nope. All I’ve learned is how to die far too easily, far too often.
Now my territory in the South of France is under threat and I find myself trapped by impossible angel-made runes. If the angels have gone full red lightsaber evil, it might not only be my territory in danger, but the whole of reality itself…
I need to stop whoever is behind this, and now. After all, you canโt come back to life, if thereโs nothing left to come back to.
“imPerfect Magic” is the first book in “The imPerfect Cathar” series, a darkly funny supernatural suspense following a trio of immortal heretics. If you can’t wisecrack while death is on the line? Well… perhaps you’re not dying right.
This book contains strong language, dark humour and graphic violence.

Iโm exhausted. Done in. In need of a stiff drink and about a weekโs sleep. But thatโs not going to happen.
Because Franc is dying, struck by a curse placed on him by the Sistren Of Bordeaux, one of the most powerful group of Talented in France. And because of our deal, itโs on me to find out what the hell is going on, and how Franc has offended the Sistren. Apart from by simply existing of course.
Except a simple trip to Bordeaux turns into a living nightmare as the past comes back to not just haunt me but to kick me square in the nuts and I’m sent to the one place no Talented ever wants to go. Where those with magic either vanish or get ruined, left as nothing but empty husks.
This time, it might not be the world at risk.
It might be my very soul.

Body-jacking a legendary assassin when Iโm running on empty. No problem, right?
After the last few misadventures, Iโm not so much broken as ruined, a shell of my former self. But I canโt stop. The trail of those who betrayed me is getting cold, and if Iโm going to get any answers, I need to follow it, and now.
Except it leads to Faerie. And the way is barred to all but the Fae.
So Iโm forced to go toe-to-toe with a mercenary assassin whose name has been spoken in terrified whispers throughout the ages. One who got the drop on me the only time our paths crossed.
The Jack of Plate. Half-Marred Jack himself. A man who may be more than a monster.

The good news? Thereโs a way out of Fairie. The bad news? Itโs through the heart of the Unseelie Court of Winter.
And thatโs not all. Maeve, Winterโs ruler, has been stealing human kids for her own twisted delights. Not only do we have to find a way to sneak into her lands, but also weโve got to break in, rescue the stolen children and get them out again without her knowing. Or … we go to war with the entire nightmarish Unseelie Court.
Iโm not so much running on empty as trying to push myself forward with the handbrake on. The odds of survival seem minimal. But who wants to live forever? 800 years is good innings by anyone’s standards.
I can’t leave the kids behind to suffer her sadistic indulgences. Weโve got to get them out – or die trying.

IMPERFECT HUNT
Book 5
OUT NOW ON EBOOK, PAPERBACK AND AUDIOBOOK. FREE TO READ IN KINDLE UNLIMITED.
At last a warm trail, through blood and bones and long dead kings. The hunt is onโฆ
Weโre back in Toulouse, and for once we have the upper hand. Our foe has no idea Iโve escaped from his trap in Fairie and weโve got an actual lead. The famous discovery of a certain hunchbacked English kingโs remains gives us a tantalizing clue, and now weโre hot on our enemyโs heels with him none the wiser.
Except nothing ever runs that smoothly. Hob kings, goth vampires and back-stabbing double-crosses are all lying in wait. And thatโs just for starters.
To make it back to France weโre going to need serious magic, might and high-level brainpower.
Two out of threeโs not bad, right?
Because if we donโt manage it, the hunter might just become the hunted.

And so it comes to this. A showdown. An ending. But if we fail โ if I end โ then reality might follow along behind me.
Weโve been through so much. Torture. Murder. Trap after trap mainly sprung by me blundering head first into them and one of my friends saving my stupid behind.
But thereโs no room for mistakes now.
Weโve got an inkling of what the scumbag weโre up against is after. Enough to know what his next target is. Enough to know itโs probably his last one. Enough to know itโs everything he needs to complete his nefarious plans.
If we donโt get there first, he wins. Simple. And Iโm not sure โฆ but my gut says if that happens, every living thing in the universe loses.
No pressure, right?
imPerfect Gods is the sixth book in The imPerfect Cathar series, and completes the first story arc. It is a darkly funny supernatural suspense mystery, containing dark humour and graphic violence.

AN IMPERFECT SAMHAIN
A STANDALONE NOVELLA FROM THE IMPERFECT CATHAR UNIVERSE
The walls between the worlds are thin. The nights draw in. And monsters walk abroadโฆ
October 30th, 1958. Franceโs papers are haunted by the spectre of the Algerian War of Independence. But that still doesnโt explain why theyโre silent about a childโs skeleton, washed up on a French beach. No stories, no breaking news. Nothing but a set of police photos, delivered anonymously to my hands. And bite marks on the skeleton, too big for any human to have made.
So my best friend, Aicha, and I head to the city of Nice to investigate. But what we find is more missing children, and an emerging pattern. One that raises some terrifying questions. Who would abduct and sacrifice children? Why isnโt the news getting out? What would demand such a sacrifice? And what terrors might it offer as payment in return?
We need to find out fast to save the children, if they can be saved. And maybe save the whole of France at the same time.
An imPerfect Samhain is a standalone novella in the best-selling โimPerfect Catharโ series. You can expect dark humour, strong language and explicit violence.
