Beth Mac: Part One (GRIM Book 1)

Whether it's the battlefield or the football field, Beth Mac is relentless.

Adored as much as she's feared, Corporal Elizabeth Mackenzie is nothing short of a full-blown enigma. Once awarded the Medal of Honour for her bold and arguably reckless efforts as a soldier, she eventually finds herself inching toward a different type of pedestal — one at Saint Judah's College.

With her eyes on the prize, she's on a mission to take the captaincy, whatever the cost. And one by one her competition violently fall.

Luckily, for Beth Mac, a doting boyfriend and a band of followers are far too easily manipulated for her to have to get her hands dirty. The school has its bets on the Grim Reaper being responsible. After all, that's who carried out the murderous rampage at the school just the year before.

Full of all your classic sorority debauchery, Part One will take you on a journey of mysterious happenings with a down-under twist and a whole lot of slaughter. Bloody, witty and outrageously mad, it's Macbeth like you've never seen it before.

Who knew football could be this deadly?

Book two in the Love Bites series.

A year has passed since nosferatu crime lord Gyorgy Thurzó attempted to disrupt the long-standing truce between vampyr and humans in what has come to be known as the Crisis.

Things have changed - greater numbers of undead roam the streets of London making it necessary for a team of Enforcers to patrol the capital where one used to be sufficient, while Whitehall now retains a unit of soldiers trained to fight the undead if required.

Against this background the former Blood Countess, Elisabeth Bathory, looks back over her long tenure on the planet while reflecting on lost love and the events leading to her present unhappy situation - in a new adventure that sees a threat to the existence of the vampyr race itself!





Welcome to Hayfork, Iowa, a peaceful farming community nestled in the heart of a tranquil valley, a town that looks after its own.

Now a strange terror roams the sky at night, a dread horror lurks among the corn and a troubled widow gives birth to a boy who glows in the dark. Death on the streets and blood in the fields seed suspicion and division deep in the valley’s fertile soil as the town folk are terrorized season after season with the deadly visitations of a mysterious ancient hunter of human emotions.

In the days before the tournament, a sinister force sabotages Nikkeah's ability to compete fairly, trapping him in the threads of a much darker plot that dismantles his glamorous life and sets him against his beloved city.
