Happy World Book Day! Announcing my new book ‘The Outsider’

A video of me introducing my new poetry collection ‘The Outsider’ – Out 21/4/26

The Outsider – Coming Soon

Coming Soon… My tenth poetry collection.

This poetry collection is a testament to my journey of discovery as a writer, as a poet, and as an author since I wrote my first poem – which over the years has lead to me writing and publishing hundreds of poems and expanding my perception of life in so many ways.

This poetry collection is me at my most honest, as I reflect upon who I am and what I have experienced since I first set out upon my path as a poet and a writer – and the poems of this collection represent and define me like never before, because I have always considered myself to be an Outsider who has always been able to imagine what is beyond the horizon.

The Outsider – My Tenth Poetry Collection – Coming Soon

From the Poet and Author of such poetry collections as Poet of the Sphere, The Sound of Mark, The Eternal Boy, The Dreamer and The Dream, The Rambler, Poet of the Multiverse, The Comeback Kid, The Pathfinder, and The Storyteller comes my tenth poetry collection “The Outsider” – Out 21/4/26!

Filled with 60 previously unpublished poems The Outsider is not only my tenth published poetry collection but it is also a celebration of my journey as a poet, a writer, a storyteller, and an author over the last fourteen years.

And what better day to announce the publication of my tenth poetry collection than on World Book Day!

Two Wolves Collide.

Sister and brother,
Olivia Hunter and Mark Mayweather –
separated from one another all their lives –
are once again drawn together;
however, their reunion does not unfold
as they hoped it would,
and as a result they find themselves
on opposite sides of a life and death struggle
that will expose who they are, what they are,
and what kind of a werewolf they both are.

And witness the reunification
and the reckoning of the relationship
of Olivia Hunter and Vega – The Vampire King.
Will their love survive the battle being fought
beneath The Shadow of The Wolf?
