I’ve Been Quiet. Here’s Why.
Two Books; One System to Tear Down; and a Memoir That Hit Me Like a Train
Yeah, I know it’s been a while. I have to apologise, but I have good reasons. I’ve been buried deep in two major projects that have fought me for every sentence. But now they’re ready. And I want you to be the first to hear it.
No Honour in Victory
Out 30th June | FREE for paid subscribers of Murder Mayhem UK
This one’s not light reading.
It’s a brutal, unflinching account of the atrocities committed by the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II; Nanking, Unit 731, POW camps, sexual slavery—the works.
No filters. No sugar-coating. No glorifying war. Just the horror, the silence that followed it, and the stories you probably haven’t heard. Everyone talks about the Nazi party and the atrocities they committed; fewer talk about the Japanese.
Paid subscribers of Murder Mayhem UK don’t have to wait. You get the full digital edition today, along with five other books, because this history demands to be read, not buried. The rest of the world can grab it on Amazon tomorrow.
The Water Plague
Out August | Preorder info coming soon
They told her he was dead. They told him the same. They lied.
After a global collapse, Alicia wakes up in a sterile facility; bandaged, pregnant, and alone.
Her husband Elijah? “Dead,” they tell her. But the doctor’s smile doesn’t reach her eyes. The windows show nothing. And the truth is under lockdown.
Meanwhile, Elijah wakes up in his own nightmare; forced labour, psychological warfare, and no clue if Alicia’s even alive.
The Facility, the regime behind it all, is building a new world on control, obedience, and fear.
But love remembers. And Alicia and Elijah are about to remember who they are.
If you liked 1984, Never Let Me Go, or The Handmaid’s Tale, this one’s for you. It’s emotional. Violent. And utterly human.
What I’ve Been Reading
I just finished Amanda Knox’s memoir Free, and whatever you think about her guilt or innocence, you need to read it.
It’s not just about a murder case.
It’s about the media circus, the manipulation, the way we’re told who to believe and who to burn, with zero evidence and all the noise.
Knox writes with brutal honesty and insane courage. It made me think again about Lucy Letby and how much of what we “know” comes straight from an unchecked media machine.
I talked about all of that in a recent live session.

I couldn’t put it down. It’s one of the rawest accounts I’ve read this year and kept me reading way past my bedtime.
Thanks for sticking with me.
Read to learn. Read to escape. Read to smile.
