FINISH WORK. GET CHANGED. SURVIVE THE UNIVERSE

When Ryan Tyler leaves his mundane day job to join the Royal Guard in the Kingdom of Vastrid, he finds himself flung into battle on day two, alongside a cosmically-powered warrior, a thief and a hybrid cat-monkey.

Meanwhile, fellow Royal Guard Callie Haywood yearns for adventure and the chance to use her squandered talents as a pilot.

As the malevolent Shadox Corporation unleash their sinister attack on Vastrid, Ryan and Callie must face threats forged from the far reaches of space and master the strange, repeating visions which plague their minds and hint at a fate that is both frightening and fascinating.

SURVIVE THE UNIVERSE and NINETEEN AND FAR FROM VASTRID are fast paced, fun to read futuristic fairy-tale space operas filled with humour, horror and heart. The novels tell the story of a wild galactic adventure that mixes snappy, humorous dialogue, intense action and tense, edge-of-your-seat horror.

🧛BITE BACK❗️🧛‍♀️ REVIEW

Thrilled to have received a great video review for 🧛BITE BACK❗️🧛‍♀️ from DanniReads.

I’ve been answering social media requests that ask for authors to suggest their books for consideration and attempting to push Survive the Universe 💫 and 🧛BITE BACK❗️🧛‍♀️ towards reviewers all year with little to no success. However just when I presumed that my books just weren’t what book social media were looking for this happened.

Proof if ever that an author’s readers are out there, it’s just sometimes takes time to find them.

PRAISE FOR 🧛BITE BACK❗️🧛

“WHAT A CRACKER! This is the second book from this author that I’ve read. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, the characters really came alive for me and I was transported back to the 90’s in a heartbeat. Well rounded and an interesting take on the vampire story line, with some excellent “nods” back to when music was still awesome!” – 5 star Amazon review

“METHINKS THE GOTH DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH! When I was halfway through this I still didn’t know where it was going, which for a book one might initially have summed up as “vampire love triangle” is a big achievement. Obviously this is a lot more than that and that second half does indeed go some places, but at its core it’s a story of 90s indie kids in Sittingbourne discovering who they really are. You might say, “But I’ve never been to Sittingbourne, is this really going to resonate?” and I would answer, “Neither have I but I’m already going to be casually calling it ‘the Bourne’”. Anyway, characters are big and, despite their many mistakes, highly loveable. There are some good laughs and while stuff gets serious, it never gets heavy.” – 5 star Amazon review

“KEPT ME HOOKED! Being from Sittingbourne it was nice to read about places I know and have grown up in for the last 51 years.” – 5 star Amazon review

“SALEM’S LOT MEETS SUBMARINE. Bite Back’s ability to capture the teen experience is spot on. I felt myself recognise, cringe and laugh in equal measure at all the naive missteps and awkward social interactions. I burned through the back chapters in an evening. Hanging out with Christine and Benjamin in the Summer of ’95 was so much fun. Recommended!” – 5 star Goodreads review

“EXCELLENT TEENAGE VAMPIRE FUN set in the ‘90s. I loved it. It’s a quirky little book that mixes coming of age comedy drama with horror, essentially two teenage vampires run amok in a small town while a love triangle builds around them. Things really pick up in the second half of the book when they switch from being the hunters to the hunted and it turns into one hell of a page turner. There’s some very funny moments and quite emotional character beats too. And if you like 80s and 90s music there’s lots of references.” – 5 star Barnes and Noble customer review

BITE BACK❗️30 YEARS LATER…

We’re just a few months away from the 30th anniversary of the fateful night a vampire named Christine walked through Woodberry Drive and discovered a young man called Benjamin Cooper.

As I’ve found myself back in the ‘Bourne over the Easter break I thought I’d take some modern day snaps of their old hang out – the roof of the Icelands looking over St. Michael’s church graveyard.

Sadly it’s just one of the many abandoned empty stores in the high street these days but the roof remains (should any of you Creatures of the Night wish to follow in their footsteps and hang out there). Also sadly left abandoned and unloved is the old cinema where Batman Forever came and went.

If you don’t know what I’m on about but are intrigued by my ramblings check out my novel 🧛BITE BACK❗️🧛‍♀️🦇🩸. Download or read via #KindleUnlimited here:

Still at it

Hello lovely readers,

Just thought I’d drop a little update to you all as I know it’s been a quiet start to the year.

I suppose the biggest headline is that your new favourite space opera novel SURVIVE THE UNIVERSE 💫 got a little bit of a boast last month. I was thrilled to see that it had picked up readers in Japan 🇯🇵 for the first time. I’m always humbled and grateful when my books travel to other countries especially as they haven’t been translated (I’d love to translate them but y’know it’s expensive to do). Also it climbed back up in to the TOP TEN of a few genre charts, which I always find charming. There’s always something I loved about genre charts, I think it goes back to the data of ITV pop music show THE CHART SHOW where they’d have the indie chart and all kinds of underground curios got a chance to shine on TV if only for a second or two.

As for new stuff? I’m still chipping away at the novella. I’m about half way through, it’s taking me much longer than I hoped it would but I seem to struggle to write during winter. Though I struggle with most things in winter, I’d happily hibernate through January and February if I were able. Still as the nights grow lighter I’m feeling more productive so hopefully it’ll be ready in a couple of months. Dare I propose a Whitsun release?

One problem I do have is that my MacBook has grown too old for updates so I’m without the tech to publish. I’m desperately trying to save for a new-second hand one but I’m not getting far with that so if anyone wants to gift me an old one I’d be grateful – no harming in asking right? 😉

ANYHOWSA I hope you all are happy and healthy and if not I hope you’re getting the help you need to make things better.

Much love to you all.

Your ever lovin’ niXy P

Not Much of an Update (but an update nonetheless)

“He’s been quiet… I hope he’s hard at work!”

I’d love to tell you all that the next book is on its way but I’ve been busy. Honest. Admittedly I’m writing this one pint deep listening to old school house music in a pub (HITCHIN’S flighty and fun Coopers Arms) BUT I haven’t forgotten you dear readers.

I’m working away on both my novella and the sequel to BITE BACK❗️but factors such as my MacBook aging out (saving for a new one) and general winter nonsense have hindered my progress. I thank you for your patience and can guarantee it’ll be worth it. The novella is shaping up far better than I could have hoped and I’m dreaming up one helluva follow up to BB❗️for all you Creatures of the Night out there.

Oh yeah also SURVIVE THE UNIVERSE 💫 is free on kindle for 5 days from Valentine’s Days 💖 so spread the word and spread the love.

Blessing you ⭕️

FANCY THE BLURB?

Despite his pale skin and fangs, teenager Benjamin Cooper doesn’t want to be a goth, let alone a vampire. However, one fateful night in the summer of 1995 he catches the eye of Christine, a blood-drinker returning to town having left under a cloud several years previously.

She needs Benjamin for protection. He needs Christine to drag him from the malaise of his stalling, small-town life. They both have a thirst for vengeance leading to a partnership bonded by blood. As the body count rises and enemies multiply, Benjamin and Christine are cast into an escalating spiral of revenge that they may not escape from.

BITE BACKis a darkly comedic, lewd and violent teen horror story set in Sittingbourne during the Summer of Britpop, seasoned with suburban drama and offbeat characters.
