The fourth is currently in reasonably good condition, but needs a polish and a better title.

The fifth I eventually self-published (Love vs Honour in 2015). I think it's a strong story with one major flaw (I wrote the male romantic lead with a tad too much teenage petulance and self-absorbed misery, instead of making him more dashing), so an ambitious failure. A good lesson learned.

The next four novels are still sitting in various states of disrepair, but the tenth ended up being the first novel I ever self-published, Uncle Flynn - a children's adventure novel that also (hopefully) appeals to adults.

After that various other novels followed, both in terms of children's adventures and gothic mystery horror/thrillers (my main focus), as well as a couple of dystopian sci-fi pieces. Some of these were self-published, and some traditionally published (via US indie publisher Dragon Soul Press, though rights have since reverted to me).

I've still got a few other novels waiting in the wings too, again in various states of disrepair - from first draft to nearly ready.

Sorry for the insanely long response. :)
