about me

I am a graphic artist / illustrator with a twenty plus year background in the computer games industry as an artist, 3D modeller, and games designer.

In my spare time I'm a keen amateur detective, and can often be found wandering around searching for clues, usually to find out where I am.

Trinity

Patrick Fox

What do you do when you wake up to find an imaginary cowboy in your kitchen? Ben Rider is about to find out.


Loads of kids have imaginary friends. Not many 38-year-old video games company Managing Directors do, though. But after an absence of 25 years, Trinity, Ben Rider's childhood imaginary friend, has popped back into Ben's life, saying he's come to help Ben find his destiny.

Ben's quite ordinary life goes haywire with Trinity's reappearance. Whether Trinity is in his guise of mischievous but kindly cowboy, chickenhearted pirate or straight-talking private eye (but in every get-up, he smells of chocolate), things are either exciting or downright alarming. Within months, thanks to Trinity, Ben will have had a restaurant collapse on top of him, been seduced and later shot at by a Welsh femme fatale, met someone else's imaginary friend, and lost both a wife and an ex-wife, but true to Trinity's word, he will have found his destiny and the soul mate he's been searching for all his life.

TRINITY is complete at 120k words, but only ten chapters are on here. It deals with fate and consequences, learning to trust yourself, accidentally finding perfection once you give up looking for it and, last but not least, the unexpected boons of unstable scaffolding.

This is the second time I have put your book on my shelf. I'm not sure how the new system works, but at least I can give this wonderful book a rating. I didn't comment last time I had the book on my shelf because I didn't have anything useful to add to the comments you've received already. And I ... view book

I found this through Trainspotter's recommendation in the forum, and I'm glad I did. The effective opening chapter draws you in and then ends in a way that makes you want to read the next chapter. Sorry, if this reads like gushing praise. I couldn't find anything to fault in what I've read so far... view book

This is a very enjoyable read. I only intended reading the first chapter, but I've just finished chapter three. Dylan is a good main character, but the real star of the show is his dad. Anyone who has a picture of a blond Aryan Jesus on his wall and who fights crime wearing a gimp mask is okay by me... view book

I really like steampunk, although all I've read from the genre up to now has been British, which makes this the first steampunk I've read from an American perspective. Does it work? Hell yes. This is a very well written and intelligent tale with parallels to true life events and conflicts. The dialo... view book

I loved this. Powerful and well written. I watch cop shows and prison dramas and don't give a second thought to what it must be like for the real-life counterparts of those fictional characters, but here you lay it all out in visceral detail. This is real life that no drama could come close to. I wi... view book
