A Taste of the Collection

Read two poems from Echoes Beneath the Tide—a glimpse into its exploration of darkness, light, identity and devotion.

Contrast

People come and go; Through the fear of the shadow, They lose their glow. It was the contrast of a blank white page And the dark ink that told the story. It was the bottomless pit of the void That pulled to the light and all its glory. I stood, a man deceived by none; A spirit echoing in the darkness of mine eyes. Her light, the canvas of creation The merging of the two, the ultimate prize. People came and went; Through the fear of the darkness, Their light was spent.

Somehow Not Real

Somehow not real; but the birds still sing. In the winter gloom I dream of spring. Somehow not real; a hangman’s noose. I stand here tried; no cutting loose. Somehow not real; these tears I cry. My spirit lost, my life a lie. Somehow not real; a single rose. Inside burnt and outside froze. Somehow not real; such a peaceful view. Upon my grave “I died for you”

Also woven into Book 1 of The Alignment Trilogy, The Journey — Somehow Not Real.

BOOK 1 — THE JOURNEY: SOMEHOW NOT REAL

He didn't travel to the past. He was fractured by it.

A man collapses in modern-day England and awakens naked, freezing and entirely alone in the rain-soaked fields of 1814.

His name is Jack Moreton. But the people he encounters know him as someone else: Captain Jacques Morel, a French officer with a wife, a home and a life Jack cannot remember living.

Stranger still, Jacques's body seems to remember what Jack's mind does not. Words come naturally. Familiar places stir feelings without explanation. And when Jack encounters a woman whose face is impossibly familiar, he begins to believe he understands why he has been brought there.

Drawn deeper into Jacques's world, he is swept into a dangerous journey across Napoleonic Europe — through divided loyalties, political intrigue and a mission where discovery could mean death.

But beneath it all lies a more disturbing question.

If Jack is living another man's life, why has he forgotten the one thing that mattered most?

And what if the explanation Jack eventually accepts...

is wrong?

BOOK 3 — THE TRUE ALIGNMENT

The fracture changed everything. Now the past and present are finally converging.

The year is 2000. Jack Moreton has returned to the life he thought he understood, but the past has never truly released him. Dreams, memories and inexplicable fragments of another man's existence continue to intrude upon his own.

Then he meets Lacy Andrews.

A private investigator with mysteries of her own, Lacy should be a stranger. Yet from the moment their paths cross, something between them feels impossible to dismiss — as though two lives that should never have touched have been moving towards one another for centuries.

Together they begin following a trail that leads from modern London to France, from forgotten graves and family records to an artefact buried in the history of Jacques Morel and Livia de Lorraine.

And for the first time, the past begins leaving physical evidence behind.

What happened to Jack was real.

What happened in 1815 was not the end.

And the fracture that changed all of their lives has one final consequence still to reveal.

Some mistakes echo across centuries. Eventually, they demand to be corrected.

CONSTANTINOPLE — MON BRAVE (SERIES BOOK 1)

One maps the world in iron and logic. One triggers the spark. One rules the shadows.

Matthieu Delacroix is a man built of iron and ash, a veteran of Napoleon’s Italian campaign who survives by turning the chaos of the world into a clinical ledger. Sent to the French Legation in Constantinople to map the ancient city as a quiet consular clerk, his rigid routine is shattered by a ghost in a silk dress.

Alizée is "the Breeze"—a lethal French intelligence asset who doesn't leave an ink-mark on a gate-log but can alter the course of a fleet. When she drags Matthieu into a high-stakes game of forgery and espionage, their calculations lead them straight into the path of Roxelana, the beautiful and fiercely possessive merchant queen of the Stamboul waterfront.

Bound together by a web of counterfeit currency, British mercenaries, and a conspiracy that reaches the highest palaces of the Ottoman Empire, this mismatched trio must navigate a treacherous trail from the crowded markets of the capital to the spectacular white terraces of Pamukkale.
