“Doctor Who on acid… I recommend it, but I’d like to stick government warnings on the back cover.”

Welcome to my website.
I decided to make one when Facebook celebrated my birthday by nuking four accounts in a row without reason.
At time of writing, you can find me there again… but who knows what might happen before the next set of candles needs blowing out?
So. This site is now the primary and certainly the most reliable means of contacting me and of keeping up to date with what I’m doing.
It’d be great if you could spread the word to anyone you know who might be wondering exactly what rabbit hole I’ve disappeared down.

Doctor Who: Countdown
So. Here’s A Lil Sumthin’ I wanna Share… O’Clock…
I’m working on a new Doctor Who book in the Collapsing Universe Cycle. I’m 200K in and about ¾ of the way through. It might be a little mental :0) I am having fun and writing is going very fast (for me).
More to follow. Updates here on this web site or tune into the Jimbo’s Directors Cuts 4 Facebook group.
Erimem: The Chronicles of Mars
The Chronicles of Mars saga is a licensed Doctor Who spin‑off that blends thrilling sci-fi adventure, ancient mystery and rich character drama.
The story follows former companion Erimem and her friends, including Edgar Rice Burroughs and Howard Carter, in their struggle against the fiercely determined Pharaoh of Mars as she heads into all out war for the future of Maahes.
The first three books in the series, A Pharaoh of Mars, Goddess of Mars and Legions of Mars can be purchased through the ordering page.
Legions of Mars was supported by a Kickstarter campaign, with another planned for Battlefield Mars, the next book, later this year.
Erimem Book 1: A Pharaoh of Mars
What starts as a simple time travel expedition to the Valley of the Kings becomes a phantasmagorical nightmare on the planet Maahes when Erimem, her friends, Egyptologist Howard Carter and ex‑cavalryman Edgar Rice Borroughs, are blasted away from Earth by a strangely familiar deadly stranger.
But lighting animated zombies, sky battles on living ships, monsters made of living glass and a war that’s raged for time out of mind are nothing compared to the threat from a million year old adversary.
Lost on a death-haunted world seething with despots and predators, Erimem and her friends not only have to find each other but help the tribes of Maahes face a terrifying common enemy: The Lost Pharaoh.
Erimem Book 2: Goddess of Mars
Professor Ibrahim Hadmani is trapped in a phantasmagorical nightmare. Left for dead by his friends, his mind damaged by a telepathic predator, Ibrahim is captured by a tribe of assassins who want to weaponise him to further their plans to destroy a million year old enemy.
Desparate not to be used as a Manchurian Candidate against someone he doesn’t even know, Ibrahim makes plans to betray his captors — knowing the price to pay for a single mistake will be his life.
Why does The Lost Pharaoh want to destroy every last thing on the planet?
On the brink of a devastating war, Ibrahim Hadmani is about to discover a mind-bending truth — that even the darkest villain can be the hero of her own story.
Erimem Book 3: Legions of Mars
Erimem and Ibrahim have so far survived the incredible dangers of life on Maahes. But they’re far from safe. While Ibrahim becomes caught up in deadly political machinations at Ferrohelios, Capital City of the Red Men, Erimem must navigate the City of the Dead in order to bring her friends Andy and Matt back to life.
Their adventures will lead them from ancient ruins to intelligent forests as the first battles are played out in their million year old adversary’s cunning and ruthless plans for war.
Will The Lost Pharaoh complete her plans to destroy every living thing on the planet? Will Andy and Matt ever be recalled to life? If so, what dark premonitions will they have for the future?
The war for Maahes has begun. Secrets will be revealed. Blood will flow. And more than one of our heroes will learn how thin the line really is between the quick and the dead.
