Campaigning For The Apocalypse
A political satire about a young man with dreams of overthrowing the government.
Campaigning For The Apocalypse is a darkly-comic, political satire about “Mark,” a nihilistic ex-student who thinks that the only way to save the country from the stagnant wasteland of late-stage capitalism is to destroy the political establishment, bringing about a state of complete freedom and anarchy that he calls “the paradigm shift.” Unfortunately, he’s convinced that the only way to do this is to help bring a gang of unstable and dangerous fascists into power. Lurching from political catastrophe to moral crisis, Mark is forced to question his commitment to political revolution when his actions attract the attention of the sinister far-right activist, Lorcan Peel…

Carnivorous
Exploring the dark underbelly of the world’s first officially vegan state.
Adrian Sawyer should be a happy man: he’s one of the most successful novelists of the twenty-first century; a man whose literary work helped form the bedrock of a revolution responsible for transforming the United Kingdom (now called The New Union) into the world’s first official, ethical vegan state. He’s rich, admired, and married to a beautiful philosopher; a cultural icon. Unfortunately, Sawyer is haunted by a terrible secret: he (and, seemingly, only he) knows that his novel that helped inspire a political revolution is actually rather mediocre.
Worse than that, as Sawyer launches a tour for his newly published memoirs, he finds himself targeted by a mysterious online conspiracy theorist called The Inquisitor, who claims to have undeniable proof that Sawyer has been eating contraband meat in secret. As Sawyer attempts to unmask his digital stalker, he finds himself uncovering terrible secrets about the dark heart of the New Union. Secrets that, if exposed, might lead to another, far more violent revolution, this time targeting men like Sawyer…
The Windzer Clan
If the Royal Family lived on a Council Estate, they’d be the sort of family your parents would tell you to avoid.
Meet “Queen Liz.” She’s forty-two, morbidly obese, unemployed, and proud of it. A chain-smoking, sexually promiscuous loudmouth, unafraid and unashamed to air her considerably filthy laundry in public. She is also a hugely popular celebrity and the star of Channel X’s longest-running reality TV show: The Scroungers.
Egged on by a jeering morbidly, fascinated public, as well as their own desire to keep their names in the headlines, Queen Liz and her equally hideous brood catapult themselves from one scandal to another. Racist pub brawls, hooliganism, petty criminality, gambling, fraud, pornography…through it all, the Windzers know they have one thing that holds the family together: each other. Or do they?
