THE XENITHA TRILOGY: Below are the descriptions of some of the creatures found in my books

Xenitha: The Final Outcome

Jack, Abigail and Ethan are called back to Xenitha once again. This time, although only a year has passed in their world, twenty-four years have passed in Xenitha and they are devastated to learn that some of their dear friends have in that time passed away or are now a lot older. They meet new friends, offspring's of their older friends; it is with these new friends that they embark on a new adventure to go in search of Ophelia and Keefer's son, Prince Willem, who has mysteriously disappeared, last seen with a man named Bard. As the mystery unfolds Ophelia and Keefer are angry to learn that the man named Bard is in fact the son of the late Nyklus, which Conan has kept secret from them. Although everyone is under the same idea, that Bard is as evil as his father and aunt, Conan believes that he is just misunderstood and yearns for the grandson he has been deprived of all these years. It isn't long before they discover that Bard is a metamorpher. They now have to be on their guard at all times until they enlist the help of a candor bird, the only creature that a metamorpher can not change into. These birds are able to look deep into one's soul and see if that being is good or evil. Along the journey they meet Lanikai, the queen of the seas, who comes to their aid on more than one occasion. In this book Conan discovers a family tree and is shocked to find out the true identity of his first wife and why all the atrocities first began in Xenitha.

Back to Xenitha

Jack Adams, his granddaughter, Abigail, and Abigail's friend Ethan find themselves back in Xenitha where they are reunited with their old friends. Their teenage pals have grown into young adults, although Abigail and Ethan have remained adolescents due to thetime continuum.
The three left Xenitha seven years ago after saving this world from Morgana, the evil sorceress but now they are back battling evil forces to protect Xenitha once again from devastation.
Nyklus, the new oracle, has been given the position as, the goddess Ophelia's faithful and trusted adviser, and appeared to be a benevolent confidant.
After receiving word that Nyklus may have diabolical plans for their beloved Xenitha, the three are called upon to embark on another adventure to ensure Xenitha's safety.
Returning to the fantasical place Abigail and Ethan find that they must fight foes way beyond their years, and perhaps beyond their power. Jack, Abigail and Ethan along with their friends discover the secret Nyklus has and where his loyalties lie. It is up to them to try and save Xenitha from what seems to be inevitable annihilation.

Xenitha is a fantsy adventure story aimed at 8 to 12yr olds, but hopefully no one is too old to enjoy reading it.

I now have readers from the age of 7 to readers in their eighties.

Here is a short summary:

Jack Adams owns a second hand shop. One day after having an old oak table delivered amongst some other items of furniture, he notices a message carved into the surface of the table. After closer examination he realises that this is the first clue to a quest, which after being copied down magically disappeares.

He later meets a dwarf named Trobate, who tells him that he, his granddaughter Abigail and her best friend Ethan will have to leave their world and enter his world called Xenitha. Once there they must help Trobate, with the aid of Driskoll, Erskine and Finbarr, who are Forest Dwellers and an ingitia bird named Ezra, to find the enchanted gown that belongs to the goddess Ophelia, who once ruled Xenitha before she was cursed turning her to stone.

They have to travel far and wide meeting new friends along the way and also do battle with the yarkas and bazelfangs. They are up against Morgana the evil sorceress who put the curse on the goddess Ophelia. Only Ophelia's enchanted gown can save her, but Morgana will stop at nothing to get her own hands on the gown, as she believes it will give her the ultimate power to rule over Xenitha.

My new editor is Vicky Pateman. She is editing my second book. This is the first time I have worked with her. I have found Vicky to be both very professional and extremely thorough. I will definitely be working with Vicky on my third book.

I had to find myself a new illustrator for my third book as Alex found that his new tee-shirt business had taken of quicker than he had anticipated.

On surfing the web I found a company called Maa Designs.

Kumar was assigned to create my final illustration.

Kumar did a wonderful job and he was very swift to get the project finished.

I will hang onto their website for future projects, you can find them at:

I have been lucky to find two very talented ilustrators whilst working on this trilogy.
