The Space Race Championship is an event that takes place every five years, and is such a popular event that a game has been made for the population of Hortii to enjoy between events. The year of 0085 brings with it the start of the next Space Race Championship, and Tom Hughs is surprised that he is entered – something his best friend Lee Johnson had taken care of. Tom’s skills are impressive as he trains with ease, and he becomes a favourite to go far. Someone is out to get him, however, and it seems linked to the Championship. Whoever it is seems to want him out of the event, and are willing to go to extremes to do so.
Elemental Heroes features the Ballart Police Force defending the city against a new threat that will stop at nothing to claim the object of their desire. To help them, the Elemental Division is set up, with a unit of five ready to get to action, making use of the elemental stones to give them powerful new abilities. When it becomes clear a new unit is needed, the Secondary Elemental Unit is formed, ready to do battle alongside Primary. But just as things seem to be going well, everything falls fast. Based within a cyber world using video game logic, the action is just starting.

The Alternate Halesowen and Beyond series started me off on the self-publishing on Kindle journey, with it being the most grounded of all my series. Set within the town of Halesowen, the first book is a short story compilation introducing the media students of Halesowen College that the series focuses on. The group of ten have enjoyed their first year, and now the summer holidays are upon them before they start their second. The shorts tell some of the things they get up to during the summer, with the first and last stories bookending that with their last day of the first year and first day of the second.
Secrets Behind the Truth moves the action away from Halesowen to the fictional country of the Republic Antarctic, where Max Rushden lives. Having attended the student holiday that is Plutes and discovering the sham it is, he alone finds his memory unmodified, finding no friends among his class and being outed as a troublemaker. Wanting to get back and shut the place down, he uses the connection between the RA and the UK to find himself in Halesowen, where he finds everything he needs to make that return visit.
The Future Adventures of Halesowen keeps things within Halesowen again, looking at the media students as they figure things out in relation to their futures. Some things happened during the summer that have caused a few fractures within the group, and as the students work on their modules of the second year and figure their futures out, they’ll also be working to fix the fractures that have appeared to become a unified whole once again.
And then, there’s the fourth. The sequel and planned finale of the main series. More information on this one will be coming eventually, but there’s two or three other books in other series before we get to that point.
