Legends of Cydrisia

The dark titan, Cephius, and five of his six children, the demon princess of Shivar have been sealed in their fiery realm by the gods of the realm. This leaves the gods weak, too weak to continue the fight against the darkness. So they retreat into the heavens to the celestial palace where they will recover.

Mankind must continue the fight against prince Gregormere, the soul eater, and his dark legions, but with the retreat of their gods, many lose hope. The races retreat and hide, all but one. They will stay and fight to death. They will revolt against the darkness like a pillar of light in the storm. They will be led by a man, a warrior, who will be named the champion of the son god valor. He will unite the races of mankind and show the seed that will bring about the end of the soul eater’s reign. An end to the darkness seeking to devour the realm.

Les Appels du Vide

Les Appels du Vide is a collection of short poems honouring the jarring, shocking and thought provoking nature of grief. Grief intrudes the stitching of the fabrics that make up our lives.

These thoughts provoked within us are as revolutionary to our characters as they are shocking, and instinctively we repress them.

This book honours them and brings them into the light instead. 

Let the Music Play On

Are you someone who revels in the resonance of melodies, whose heart beats to the rhythm of tunes? Embark on a young man’s odyssey through love, tragedy, and the enlivening world of music, underscoring the eternal bond between human emotions and musical notes. This narrative underscores the quintessence of music—it’s not just an art, but a heartbeat that continues to echo through the chambers of our lives, forever.

Discover the profound connection a musician shares with his instrument, akin to a confidant, a companion in joy, and solace in sorrow. As a teenager, our protagonist finds his heartstrings attuned to the chords of a violin accompanist, who not only complements his music but also completes his world. However, fate orchestrates a melancholy melody as he loses her, plunging him into a realm of despondence, detaching him from the music that once defined his existence.

Now adrift in a ‘free-floating’ reality, devoid of the musical notes that colored his world, he confronts the silence that ensues. The narrative strikes a chord, illustrating his journey back to the world, back to the essence of music that once cradled his soul. His path is arduous, but will the crescendo of life play a tune of hope, or will it fade into an adagio of despair? The finale holds an unexpected cadence, leaving you earnestly rooting for the young maestro to rekindle his love for music and share the eloquence of his violin with the world once more.

Stephen’s favourite saying was “When music is played, we all dance together; when music is played, we all listen as one.”
