about me

Back on line after a long time. The book up at the moment needs a big rewrite, but critical rippings always welcome. My new work should be up soon, having learnt a LOT out of writing Jeremy.

Jeremy the Wicked

Diggory Steele-Perkins

From a boy's slit wrists flows the end of the world. An apocalyptic supernatural thriller set in Britain, exploring love, blood, childhood vengeance and redemption.


From the attempted suicide of a 7-year-old boy come the seeds of an apocalypse. The boy is Jeremy, and he will bring the world to the edge of extinction.

In the very near future 90% of the people of Britain have vanished without a trace. Society is crumbling, those left gather together in fear, confusion and sadness. Karina, a soldier working for what is left of the government, tries and fails to destroy the demons of her childhood in the empty tower blocks of her past. Across London, Jon is torn by guilt over his inaction to find his missing wife, as he starts to fall in love with his best friend's sister.

Blood, religious fanatics, quantum physics and a passion that burns abusers alive tear through a story of love, vengeance and redemption. When the enemy lives outside of this world, and horrors thought forgotten are made real, can anyone stop Jeremy the Wicked?

Hi, just reading a few chapters of your books, so here is my comments. Love the idea of the Wall, and like how you get across very quickly into the story, grabs the reader fast. First thing I thought mind was this huge wall, no one knew what was the other side, very intriguing, The one rule, ag... view book

Hi, just randomly came across your book so thought I would comment. The prologue, 'gosh, shut up', to me sounded quite polite ? But that could be just what the character says. Why not sob for hours, no need to say it seemed like hours. 'It was a bad habit. But whatever' Hmmm, actually I wo... view book

Ok, reading and commenting :) Good start, straight in. Too many times have I read two paragraphs of descriptions when I want to get straight into the story, which this does nicely. 'My hand clutched my burn'...you hadn't mentioned it yet, so this was a little odd, didn't make sense here. Th... view book

Hi, reading your book so commenting as I go. First sentences, bit awkward, drop the house? artificial wood door to me (always subjective) flows better. 'with an accident rationale' ? I know what you meant but is that who it was meant to be written? Interesting premise, and don't read viewpo... view book
