About Geoff
I'd always assumed I would one day write a book; it just took me a while to work out it wasn't going to happen unless I got started. So, a few year back, I did.
​
The result was The Four Baristas of the Apocalypse, a light-hearted sci-fi adventure, which went on to win a Watty award, was selected to participate in Wattpad's paid stories program and has since been been traditionally published.
​
Money from writing? Who'd have thought?
​
Since then, I've written The Blade, which is a light-hearted fantasy adventure (are you sensing a theme here?) and The F-Files, which blends elements of both sci-fi and fantasy. And yes, is also light-hearted and adventury. And then I wrote Fearless, which is a dark contemporary thriller. So much for themes.
​
Writing is one of the greatest forms of escapism, both for the writer and the reader, so if you'd like to take a break from real life for a while, why not come along for the ride?
The Four Baristas of the Apocalypse
In the Earth's darkest hour, unexpected heroes are stirring... their coffee, that is. Four baristas on a camping trip are hardly qualified to save the world from an alien invasion. But thanks to a hologram with no fashion sense, an alien with a guilty conscience, and some new superpowers, they've landed the job anyway. So grab your double-shot of java, your blueberry muffin and strap in - it's going to be a bumpy ride.
Hasta barista, baby.

The Blade
Exams, no girlfriend, a cantankerous grandfather - George has it tough. And that's even before the assassins come for him, he discovers the magical sword stashed in the garage, and finds out he's responsible for saving a world he didn't even know existed. Talk about pressure. Fantasy and reality collide as George battles to save his life, his family and - well, pretty much everything - from the forces of evil, while hopefully also addressing the no girlfriend problem. Unless, that is, he gets killed to death first.

Section F: Fairy Tales & Physicists
Assigned to the mysterious Section F, freshly demoted Agent Fields has his hands full, with an eccentric new partner, a serial killer to catch, and a career to resurrect. Not to mention, a whole lot of disbelief to suspend - not always willingly.
When fairy tales become fairy facts.
When fantasy gets a little frisky.
When fiction can be fatal.
Who you gonna call?

Fearless
What if you threw your life away and the world threw it back? If you found yourself in credit to the value of one life? Would you spend that credit on a worthy cause, if fate offered up the chance?
Alone and a long way from home, Nick's big city adventure is not going at all to plan. With his dreams in ruins and his world crumbling around him, he's struggling to see a way out.
Ripped from her everyday life, isolated and imprisoned, Mica's one desperate wish is to escape the urbane monster who sees her as nothing more than a plaything.
And for Jaime Salazar, wealth, privilege and power are not enough. At the head of his global crime syndicate, he'll stop at nothing until he has all he wants.
Two lost souls, brought together by the strangest of circumstances, find themselves pitted against a crime lord with no mercy in a city that doesn't care. And with so little left to lose, neither will hesitate to risk it all.
"Don't say what you're about to say. You can't. Because, right now, if all of this ends, it doesn't matter. But, here's the thing. The instant it starts to matter - it ends. Don't make it matter, Mica."
