about me

(Both my novels are available through Amazon - just do a search by title or my name.)

Alan Baxter is a dark fantasy author based on the beautiful south coast of NSW, Australia. He has been described (by himself) as an optimistic cynic – someone with little faith in the chances of anything, but hopeful nonetheless. Alan has two novels published through his own independent publishing company, Blade Red Press, and has a number of short stories published in various places.

Convinced that humanity seems to be fighting a battle between progress and idiocy, Alan has placed himself firmly in the no man’s land between the two camps, happy to make sandwiches during breaks in the fighting. He is also a martial arts instructor, so don’t complain about his sandwiches.

Alan Baxter

Believe in the blood.


Three years have passed since Isiah’s run in with Samuel Harrigan and the Devil. He has some time on his hands - a perfect opportunity to track down the evil Sorcerer, Harrigan’s mentor. It should have been a simple enough task, but the Sorcerer has more followers than Isiah ever imagined, and a plan bigger than anyone could have dreamed. With the help of some powerful new friends Isiah desperately tries to track down the Sorcerer and his cult of blood before they manage to change the world forever. In this long-awaited sequel to the highly acclaimed RealmShift, Baxter once again keeps a breathless pace and blistering intensity with gods, demons and humans entangled in magic and conflict. This is dark fantasy at its best.

 

RealmShift

Alan Baxter

A race against time and the Devil.


Isiah is having a tough time. The Devil is making his job very difficult. Samuel Harrigan is a murdering lowlife. He used ancient blood magic to escape a deal with the Devil and now he’s on the trail of a crystal skull that he believes will complete his efforts to evade Lucifer. But Lucifer wants Samuel’s soul for eternity and refuses to wait a second longer for it. Isiah needs Samuel to keep looking for the crystal skull, so he has to protect Sam and keep the Devil at bay. Not for Samuel’s sake, but for all of humanity. RealmShift is an engrossing Dark Fantasy thriller; a fascinating exploration of the nature of people’s beliefs and their effect on the world around them. Magic, action and intrigue, from dank city streets to the depths of Hell and beyond.

This was my reply to Connie Dee's comment. Rather than just leave it with her I thought it was relevant to put it here too.: Hi Connie Thanks so much for the kind comments.
