A novel of the Russian Civil War: 1919, 1920. The war is over and the soldiers are going home, back to the lives they once had. This story follows a band of soldiers and the challenges they face in a world they thought they knew but now turned upside down. Situs Inversus.
The motivation to write my books, Today and Tomorrow, Situs Inversus and The One Percent Faction, comes from some First World War battlefield trips we would take the children to. The more I found out about the Russian soldiers I realised it had a great potential as a story for a novel.

The One percent Faction, is based around the book ‘The Forsaken’ by Tim Tzouliades, one of the best history books I’ve ever read. It follows an American life in Russia during the 1930’s and 40’s and Rodin Malinovsky’s life and career during the same period. As well as Malinovsky there are other characters that cross over all three books and provide a consistency in the plot lines.
