A beautiful woman, her older lover, her neighbour, her boss and her lover’s wife collide in three intertwined tales of misplaced love, lust and loyalty. A seductive, slippery and surrealistic slide into the slapstick of seedy suburban serenity.
EDEN UNPLUGGED: the sequel to Eden out soon
November 24, 2018 By
For four years the people of Eden have lived an idyllic life on a pristine planet with easy access to Earth. But the gateway is closing, leaving Eden less perfect; and for the seven billion souls stuck on Earth, no Planet B.
Eden: a brilliant piece of work, looking forward to the sequel
August 1, 2018 By
A great story, The author leads the reader down a rabbit hole and on an adventure into a fantasy world that is quietly growing. The device of multiple protagonists all telling their version in first person keeps the reader slightly off balance and contributes to the sense and experience of an alternate world where non of them can be certain of the outcome. It’s an easy read though, very enjoyable, and compelling once it draws the reader in. Make no mistake about it, this is a really well executed work. I believe there is a sequel on the way, I can’t wait, I’m fascinated to see what happens to this community of characters. Graham Hackshaw

“Eden” and “Walking the Dog” are now available as eBooks on Amazon and Kobo. Other titles to follow soon. The 21st century is upon us. The paperback will one day become an oddity like the 12″ vinyl record – collected rabidly by a handful of fanatics.
Good News and Bad News
July 22, 2018 By
The bad news is that in teleporting the manuscript backwards and forwards between Earth and Eden, Chapter 39 disappeared into the ether. This has left readers wondering how and why Dakota returned to the planet she was so glad to leave. The good news is that an e-book including the missing chapter is on its way and will be available on Kobo in the next few days. In more good news, the paperback version will be reprinted, including chapter 39, in the next couple of months. And if you’re lucky enough to have a copy of the original print run, who knows – a hundred years from now it may be worth millions.
Intro to Eden
June 9, 2018 By
Dr Douglas Winchcombe was a dreamer. He was last seen on planet Earth on the 29th of August 2018. Some considered him a genius – one of the finest scientific minds in Australia, if not the world, though he’d published remarkably few papers. Others considered him a clueless nerd, totally devoid of social skills, a caricature of the absent-minded professor. Most people didn’t consider him at all. But on Eden, despite his reluctance, he was practically God.
