Celeste nodded thoughtfully. “Perhaps.”
Without saying anything more, Rawk turned away from the Hero’s Rest and started to limp eastwards, down the mountain.
“Where are you going?” Celeste asked after a moment.
He stopped to lean on his cane and look down the road towards the Tapalar Mansion, though it was well out of sight around the bend. “I’m going home,” Rawk said. He held out his hand to her. “Are you coming?”
She hesitated for a moment, then smiled and took his hand. Rawk walked, her hand soft and warm in his, and sighed. He knew he’d missed out on yet another cliché as he led her away from the sunset.

About the Author

He now lives in a different small town, with his wife and three children, and still enjoys creating strange worlds. Though now, he actually finishes some of the things he starts. When not writing he enjoys photography and camping and recently retired from an amazingly mediocre cricket career.

The Bygone Wars: Book 1
Songs of Space and Time
After years in the army, then more years backpacking around the world, Kim thinks she’s seen just about everything there is to see. But she has to admit to being a little bit surprised when the giant bats started dropping bombs. And then the aliens came.
There she was, wondering what a medieval hotdog might have been filled with, and five minutes later she was battling ugly, leathery-skinned aliens, beating them over the head with a historically accurate mace. And if that wasn’t strange enough, she was shown a portal to another world, with the same war being fought on the other side.
Kim knows the information she holds could be vital, but she doesn’t like authority all that much, and it doesn’t like her either. So, when the leaders of the Earth’s defenses test her friendship one time too many she sets out to end the war on her own.
Well, just her, an elf, a giant and a dwarf who may well be completely nuts.

The Brightest Light
The Skyway Men have ruled the underworld of the skylands for centuries-- killing, stealing and doing whatever it takes of increase their wealth and power. Pistols, money and fear are their weapons of choice.
After a decade exiled to a small piece of farmland that flies the quietest windlanes, Kade is thrust back into the world of death, corruption, shady deals and dirty deeds. But it’s just like old times. He doesn’t know who to trust. He doesn’t know who’s on which side. He doesn’t even know which side he’s on any more.
All Kade knows for sure is that murder and mayhem aren’t what they used to be.
