Bloody marytown saga
a character-driven world
Great characters are as diverse and driven as real people. Rather than simply being there to push the plot onward, they have their own lives, their own wants and needs and their own backpacks full of personal history that they carry with them on the journey. The characters within the Bloody Marytown Saga are no exception. And the people of Marytown have evolved into such dynamic people that they deserve to have their stories told.

Sins of The Father, Bloody Marytown Saga
Sins of the Father
Responding to a call of distress from her sister, Martha Valentine returns to Marytown to discover her family in turmoil following a recent tragedy. It has been over a decade since she last entered the town, a picturesque place with a dark, twisted history and much has changed. Not least of all Martha herself.
Two hundred years earlier, The Pact was struck - a solemn treaty between powerful supernatural entities to prevent their millennia-old war from spilling over onto the streets of Marytown once again. The beings that honour the treaty walk a fine line every time they travel through the area. A line which Martha's personal entanglements now threaten to completely tear asunder.
Regret. Revelation. Family. Obligation.
It's about to get bloody in Marytown.
PRAISE FOR SINS OF THE FATHER
“Beautiful writing. I loved the gothic atmosphere and the spark between the main characters. Martha was an awesome protagonist. I could really feel both her pain and her strength.”
“I read this book as I was curious about the author. I am so glad I did.
I could see and feel everything in my minds eye as the writing is so descriptive. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys occult thrillers.”
“I downloaded this book onto my kindle earlier this year as my holiday book. It’s brilliantly well written, and really sucks you into the story.
It was so good I had to download the second book in the series whilst I was still on holiday, as I wanted more!!!”
“Excellent. I really enjoyed reading this book. It was difficult to put down once I started it. It was different from other fantasy novels. I’m waiting for the next one in the series. I would recommend this to anyone who likes fantasy but not horror.”
Art of War
Hell Hath No Fury
When Martha Valentine returned to Marytown, her motives were deeply personal. Playing a pivotal role in liberating the town’s much fought-over border. Working alongside the Marytown Paranormal Investigation Agency, she has been given the freedom to investigate demonic activity in the area. To become the nephilim hero the people of the town have long deserved.
Rebecca Patterson was a practitioner of magic who sold her talents for money. She was murdered in her own home, by a scarily powerful assailant who seemed unhappy with the service they received. Investigating the death, Martha and the MPIA team find themselves drawn into a fight for survival they perhaps should have seen coming, as one of them is targeted in a brutal act of revenge that rocks not only Martha’s reclaimed mortal life, but also her otherworldly ties.
Battling to find balance between her duelling natures, she must rally the forces of good against the evil coming to destroy them. A fight that the monsters won’t wait around for her to win.
Art of War
