“Full of humour and wonderfully flawed characters … a genuinely good read.” – Amazon Review

“This book is absolutely brilliant! A real page-turner, fantastic pace and full of suspense. Often, I find that stories told from several perspectives result in one-dimensional, shallow, unlikable characters – but this is not the case in this book. The main characters are fantastic, gutsy, funny and, at times, unlikely heroes. The villain is suitably chilling and the cause of the apocalypse – and the reason for its survivors – surprising and unique. If you liked The Stand by Stephen King, you will love this!“

– Amazon review of Blood on the Motorway

“I’m really tired now because I kept having to read just one more chapter before going to bed.”

– Amazon Review of A Final Storm

“This one is a real gem. It’s better than many bestsellers I’ve read recently and it deserves more attention.”
