I’m the author of the fantasy novels, Imperial Visions and Visions in Exile, both available in paperback and Kindle format. Visions in Exile is also available in an illustrated hardback edition.
I’ve also written a set of short stories, Fragments of a Vision, self-published in August 2012 and available from Amazon in Kindle format.
Details - and how to buy them - are below.
Imperial Visions
Imperial Visions and Visions in Exile are fantasy novels set in a c. 18th century world, featuring two main characters: Thomas, an Imperial diplomat who discovers he has the power to see the future, and Rianda, a young queen of a nation squeezed between the expansionist powers to its north, and a greater enemy, allied with dark powers, to the south.
Visions in Exile takes up the story where Imperial Visions left off.
Forced into exile, the young queen Rianda takes refuge in the hills, where the forces that have occupied her homeland relentlessly pursue her.
Even Thomas, the last True Seer, cannot help her, for he has departed, seeking to master his powers. In the mystical city of Linnarson, riven with feuds between merchants and mages, he will meet new friends and old allies - and learn many things he did not expect.
But beyond the southern passes, the true enemy waits as the Desert gathers its power. Will even the ability to foretell the future be enough to keep the demons and droghkar at bay?

Fragments of a Vision
Fragments of a Vision is a collection of some of my early short stories. Whilst it is not the sequel to Imperial Visions, the stories do give strong indications of how the ideas for that novel arose: many of them are set in variants of the world of Edrith, whilst others explore themes or elements that would make an appearance in the final novel. All are non-canon.
If you’ve not tried Imperial Visions, I recommend doing that first.
