about me

I'm someone who became interested in reading and writing shortly after finishing a course in Horticulture. Previously before that I assumed it to be something I wouldn't really enjoy, I was wrong.
Slowly over the course of the past ten years I began developing my books and characters until some people suggested I try and make a go of it. I had forwarded the manuscript to several companies and that was how I learned of this site.
Please understand that I've never completed any courses in anything other than horticulture and thats been my job since college. I favour fast paced books and that's what I've written, I'm sure people will find flaws with my work and I'm happy for them to be pointed out but as a story I hope you enjoy it. I'm just happy that some people have taken the time to read it... thank you.

I have recently attempted to have my book published with Authorhouse and Xlibris - if you're on here and they approach you or you're considering them I'd advise you against it. They work with you to start with then when you stop buying their products they basically stop replying.

Anyway it's great to be back on here and reading some of the new talent and awesome stories that have appeared... best wishes to all...

John Doney

Tommy needs to bring the gangs to justice, find out his own past and stop a demonic presence he never believed could exist.


Tommy Atkins awoke in an alleyway during the worst storm in years. He had no idea who brought him back from the dead.

A possession demon had found his way to Altersons and was hunting down Tommy, Tommy's blood holds the key to his success and Alterson church was the lock. However within the churches cemetery the answers of how to stop these forces from rising were hidden.

These forces unknown to Tommy are not why he came back, he came back for vengence. Harry Roberts, a trapped spirit needs Tommys' help to protect his daughter, Fiona, from the gangs that killed him.

With new allies with their own troubled pasts Tommy needs to find a way to bring the gangs to justice, find out his own past and stop a demonic presence he never believed could exist.

Sometimes destinies aren't ours for the taking.

First up my apologies for not getting round to reading this book for a while. Reading the pitch it instantly got my attention, although it started a bit different to what i expected.

To be fair I'm not really into futuristic sci-fi books usually but yours have a kind of twist to it that keeps me interested. I like the way 'Reaper' narrates and the flow of the story keeps me reading despite having things to do. I'll place you on my book shelf and hopefully return soon to read s... view book

That flows incredibly well. Only read some for now as I have several bits to do. I've placed it on my shelf and intend to get back soon to continue. Best of luck and I'll have more to say as I get deeper into the story. backed. John Doney. view book
