Rewriting the Vampire Genre

Origin (Vol I)

Origin rewrites the rule book on Vampires. You will meet Jayne Breggar a young intelligent Chief Investigator, bored and over protected by her father figure Police Director. However, over the course of three short days, her boring job becomes a desperate fight for survival against a old world long lived species. As old as life itself. She leads the resistance and fight for the survival of all humankind. She finds love and realises her true potential.

Be taken on a action packed journey from Richard the Lion-heart to Olympus Mons. A fast paced, Horror, Fantasy Romance Action Adventure.

Discover the truth behind Vampires, where they came from, how they fly, why they are hard to kill and why your teenage daughter or son just might be one.

This is fast paced with original characters, you will feel like you are actually part of the adventure and part of the battles and scenes. A book you will not put down once you have started.

The premise is original, fact based and brings a new dimension to fear and legends.

True characters from old world central European history lead the cast as you meet Giure Grando, Arnaut and Maria.

Discover what no government wants you to know, that Vampires are not myth nor legend or religious mumbo jumbo but are real, the reality is always more frightening than the myth.

Already spending three weeks in Amazons Best Selling Top 100 Horrors. And when on promotion was the number 1 most downloaded Horror on Amazon. Origin II will follow soon.

Origin tackles the Mars Radiation Issue. How? Find out here.

When I wrote Origin, one of the big issues is the lack of a electromagnetic shield like the one that protects us on Earth.

Mars shield faded away around a billion years after it's formation. But this for me was key, I used this to explain a great deal about the Origin's of Vampires and also explained how human's coped with the radiation on a future colony on the red planet.

I will hold back a little as this is all explained in my Novel Origin, but you will not be disappointed.

Its a Mould breaking Vampire reboot that will explain the things no other vampire novel or story dares to touch. It does not shy away from the hard realities, nor does it try and explain Vampire abilities as some dark force of evil. Simply put, humans whether normal or vampires have a biological explanation in nature that is far more scary than some hocus-pocus elves or diamonds rubbish that readers have been forced to accept from some lazy writing in the past.

You will never view your children the same again.

Its Horror Sci Fi at it's best. Awesome premise that you will not be able to put down.




See the BBC link to the radiation problem of Mars, Nasa explains!

Vampires - The truth no one wants you to know.

How do Vampires Fly
Why do they want our Blood
Why do they live so long? 
Where and when did Vampires begin

All the answers, governments and the church did not want you to have are in Origin 

A Genre reboot

Who do those lips belong to on the cover?

I have had many emails about who's lips are on the cover. Rather than reply individually it is easier if I reveal the Model here.

Tiina Keskitupa from Finland.

A beautiful model who is based in the UK London.

When considering the permanent cover for Origin I wanted something unique. Tiina was the very model who has that uniqueness, star quality and sex appeal.

If you want to know more about her, links to her website and photos are below.

I recommend 18+ viewers only.

Vampires - Myth? or Plausible Reality?

ORIGIN is Released July 2013


Prior to writing Origin I was what I would describe as being a 'traditionalist Vampire fan', Bram Stoker being the benchmark, although I enjoyed Blade as a good action romp I was always left feeling a little unsatisfied.

For me as a romantic but factual person, basing my life on scientific theories and beliefs I was always slightly unable to commit to say 'Twilight', it just seemed all too male 'Dominated' and non-factual and non-scientific and shaky  But you have to commend the series itself for its blistering success.

But for me, I always wanted to delve into the possible plausible science behind the Vampire's abilities. And hence Origin was born, over a cup of coffee.

Scientifically Origin explains properly the abilities of Vampires, how they fly, why they live so long, why they are so resistant to death and why they need to feed on human blood. No scientific stone or explanation is left untouched.

The key for me, is it possible for vampires to exist? Yes! is it possible for the species to have the powers suggested? Yes!

That is when the shiver went down my spine, for all the hype and fantasy around Vampires the one thing I did not expect was that I would actually become more afraid of them as I wrote my book about them. An unexpected side effect of proving that such creatures could exist but probably actually do, possibly.
