CREATURES OF THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
Hello Readers, Welcome to the next post from my creature files. You may recall the Rib-back, a Canadian terror from a previous post. Well while I was searching for this beast I came across another frightful being. It’s the kind of thing the locals whispered about around campfires when the wind cut through the pines. Known as the Shadow-tail Cabin Creeper, this is no ordinary Raccoon. You’ll be…

CREATURES OF THE AUSTRALIAN REALMS
Hello Readers, Here is another post from my creature files. This terrifying animal was once extinct, but scientists meddling with the cloning of genes tried to bring it back to life and re-introduce it to the world. They partially succeeded, though you can’t really say this Thylacine is alive. Meet the Bone-Striped Tiger, an undead devil sometimes referred to as a Rot Runner by the…

The Dark Fantasy Worlds Behind My Books — And the Art They Inspire
When I wrote the ‘Blood Rage’ trilogy, I created a whole world for my characters to live in. The world that I wanted to set their story in. It was the world of Armada; a dark, gritty, medieval-style, fantasy world. One of the locations in this world is ‘The Dead Duck’, a tavern whose landlord holds an allegiance to a guild of thieves known as ‘The Crimson Guild’. The image above is an…

Physiology Long, whip‑slender frame Finned tail for…

CREATURES OF THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
Hello Readers, This is the second post from my creature files. This week we have crossed the timeline to the Northern Hemisphere in search of strange beasts and find ourselves in Canada. And what dark creature could be more appropriate than this Ribbed-back Revenant, more commonly referred to as a Rib-back. This monster evolved from the grizzly bear and dons a partial exoskeleton of ribs,…

What If Your City Turned Dark Fantasy?
Hello Readers, Welcome to the last of my ‘Dark City’ posts. The final post in this series brings us to… Toronto! What questions flood your mind when you gaze upon this dark fantasy city? Here are a few I’ve created for you to ponder over: When the crimson aurora coils above the CN Tower, what forgotten creatures awaken beneath its steel veins? Which spirits haunt the mist‑choked streets of…

THE SERPENT‑ASCENDED: DRAGONS OF THE AUSTRALIAN REALMS
Hello Readers, I’ve been playing around with AI recently and thought I would have a go at creating some images of Australian specific dragons to add to my bestiary. I considered what this should look like to give them a distinctive Australian feel and how it would have come about. This got me thinking about the wildlife, which in turn sparked the idea “what would it look like if our snakes had…

CREATURES OF THE AUSTRALIAN REALMS
Hello Readers, Welcome to my creature files, a series of posts about fantasy creatures. Some of these will be from my stories, others from mythology and folktales, and some I have just created for fun – Like this week’s creature. The Nocturnal Maw; a larger, darker relative of the drop bear, and its better known, cuter, friendlier cousin the Koala. NOCTURNAL MAW Phascoloctonus sanguinolentus —…

What If Your City Turned Dark Fantasy?
My ‘Dark City’ Series of posts is almost at an end, and who knows, I may bring it back to life again another day. But for now, I bring you a dark fantasy portrayal of… Perth! Perth City. Another place I have yet to visit. Even though I live in Australia, this city is approximately 5 hours flight from Brisbane, and I can get to a number of international destinations in less time than it takes me…

Fantasy Weapon of the Week
Hello Readers, The final item in this blessed weapon series is a collaborative piece designed, forged, and crafted by the Elves, Dwarves, and Human mages together. The length of this bow is magically determined by the range of its target, and its arrows always fly silent and true. I hope you’ve enjoyed this magical weapon series. If there is a weapon you’d like to see forged in the darkness or…

What If Your City Turned Dark Fantasy?
Hello Readers, The next city to plunge into the darkness is… Vancouver! I’m a big fan of Vancouver City. In fact, I’ve only just returned from a holiday in Canada, and I spent some more time in Vancouver after having enjoyed the hospitality of this city in the past. But this re-imagined version of the city is not the Vancouver I know, and it makes me wonder if the seaplanes in the real world…

Fantasy Weapon of the Week
Hello Readers, The weapon this week is a dagger crafted by the by elven and human mages, in a bid to help turn the tide of the battle between good and evil. It may not be a large weapon, but it niggles at the darkness, like a shining thorn in its side. Thus its name perfectly symbolises its qualities. Happy Reading!

What If Your City Turned Dark Fantasy?
Hello Readers, Today brings another city submerged in the shadows of dark fantasy. This week I give you… Sydney. Before you visit this fantasy metropolis, you may wish to consider these questions: When the storm‑crowned moon rises above the harbour, which runes awaken upon the Opera House sails, and what forgotten chorus hums beneath their glow? Which spirits drift through the flooded lanes…

Fantasy Weapon of the Week
Hello Readers, This week we find a blessed axe born from the magical fires of the Elven smiths. Runes are etched masterfully down the length of the blades, so that they never dull, remaining razor sharp and bright as the spear-like tip. It is perfectly matched with its kin from the blessed collection and ready to spread its cleansing light amongst the tainted. Happy Reading!
