Disappearing Ones
Coming 2026
London, 1849. When child prostitute, Florence, collapses in the street with a screaming infant in her arms, Thomas Harrington, a reclusive MP with a failing body and an uneasy conscience, realises the girl he once tried to save has come back in ruin.
As Thomas tends to Florence and the child she cannot love, both must face the weight of their choices. Told in piercing, melancholic diary entries, The Blackbird’s Song is a gothic tale of shame and compassion, power and vulnerability, set against the gaslit shadows of Victorian London.

Grey Alpha
Former combat medic and survivalist Ivan Corby has lived through warzones, disasters, and the worst humanity has to offer — but nothing could prepare him for what he became.
Raised in a quiet Devon vicarage after a turbulent start in the care system, Ivan grew up disciplined and compassionate. A crisis of faith in his teens sent him down a different path: service without prayer, saving lives on battlefields across the world. But in 2013, a chance encounter at a remote gorge left him with more than grief for his dying father. Within days, he was dead… at least on paper.
Awakening inside a covert government facility, Ivan learns the truth: he carries Lykos Lyssavirus, a form of werewolfism. Imprisoned, studied, and stripped of freedom, he escapes years later with Qasim, a young Syrian boy who shares his fate.
Now hiding in the wild, Ivan’s body changes month by month, his humanity slowly slipping away. Grey Alpha unfolds through Ivan’s letters and survival logs, written for the son who believes he’s already dead — a raw and unflinching record of one man’s fight to stay human in a world that calls him a monster.
