There is a saying amongst the killers of the Midnight Court, when rivals cross paths, blades always follow.
Shey Jing is an honourable warrior, Sebastian Schiller a louche, schism touched bounty hunter known as 'the Mosquito'.
They are given a simple choice when they cross paths with the Roach King; work together or die together.
But simple isn't easy when two people hate each other.
Thrown together by capricious Fate, the arrachid and the Mosquito must overcome their many, many differences and complete their mission. Only then can they get on with the real business of fighting over who gets to kill the Guild Blade they're hunting.
After half-killing Mother Blake's murderer, Breed is obliged to repay a debt to a powerful Prince of the Midnight Court. Armed with little more than a bad attitude, and partnered with a feckless sorcerer and an arrogant, gang enforcer, Breed sets sail for the land of Voskva. They say, no good deed goes unpunished. And damn them, they were right. No Good Deed is the fifth book in The Chronicles of Breed
Best Laid Plans:
Did you hear the one about the thief and the sorcerer who went to rob a senator? No, of course you didn't, it's a dull tale hardly worth recounting. Ah. But what happened after, now that is a story.
After being most unfairly swived and abandoned in the wilds, Breed Blake stumbles upon a barbarian who is also having a very bad day. It turns out when the great oaf isn't being attacked by bandits, he's on a mission to save a damsel in distress who is being held somewhere in the doom haunted Scathblight Mountains.
Due to playing and almost losing a lethal game of hide-and-seek with a platoon of imperial soldiers, Breed has a little time to kill and a pair of blades just in case anything more tangible needs inhuming...for a price.
A bargain is struck, gold is promised, and trouble ensues.
Grab a mug of ale, pull up a stool and I'll tell you all about it.
Dark, grim and wickedly funny, The Best Laid Plans is an anarchic, baroque and roll introduction to the award shortlisted The Chronicles of Breed.
Fistful of Rubies:
Mother wants an errand running. How difficult can it be to walk to the docks, make a trade, and come back again? What could possibly go wrong....
Listen to A Fistful Of Rubies and see just how bad a day Breed can have.
They say that no good deed goes unpunished. It turns out, they were right. Breed saved a world, killed a demon, destroyed the gods that made it, and then went home. It was time to rest, perchance to die. But as any fool knows, there is no rest for the wicked. No one is going anywhere until an old friend is dead, an old enemy is saved, and hot or cold vengeance is served. The battle is over, now the war has begun.
We all know how it goes. You're getting old, slow... All of your friends are dead... You have to fight for your life in an arena, save the Goblin Queen, and defeat an evil sorcerer before she destroys a world of Wild magic. And that's before you even think about facing Shallunsard the demon, the Eldest of the Annurashi, and Halda the Red Witch who's had a bone to pick with you for seven hundred years. Live or die, this is Breed's last ride. So, are you ready? Good. Strap in and hold on Something Wicked is audiobook 3 and the final instalment in the ground-breaking The Chronicles of Breed.
Deadpool meets Game of Thrones in this thrilling tale of demons, dragons, and treachery.
After Breed, a thief-assassin of small renown is chased by a dragon, tricked by a demon, almost killed by a psychopathic gang boss, and hunted by a ferocious spider, life really takes a turn for the worse. Sentenced to five years bonded servitude to a one-handed priest magician, Breed must find the hammer of the ancient hero known only as The Hammer of the North within a year and a day... or else. So, with only a drug-addicted vagrant, a rat-faced child, and a timid priest for backup, Breed sets out for the mighty city of Valen and the tomb of the Hammer. What could possibly go wrong?

The world needs a hero, but all it got is Breed. Leaving the Empire to face the wrath of an angry demon and its infernal hordes, Breed takes a ship and flees to Shen.

Charged by an ancient power to find a way to stop Shallunsard the demon, Breed is thrust from one world into another.
