Cover Reveal: Oceanus
Oceanus is nearly here: Cover reveal!
If you didn’t think I could keep a secret, you’d be terribly wrong about that. It seems I can.
Keeping this to myself has been so hard but I can finally show you the new cover for Oceanus.
Designed by the wonderful designer (and writer!) Shane Bzdok this cover could not have been more perfect. I need to extend a huge thank you to my publisher J. Curtis of Tiny Worlds for his input with this too. I couldn’t have wished for a better cover that truly conveys the soul of this story.
Some of you may remember that Oceanus was my debut novel, originally released (by little ol’ me) in September 2024. Following a successful serialisation on Substack, I took it to print (such a minefield). It had a great run, and the reviews have been really good, but it deserved a second edition. It will be published with Tiny Worlds on the 18th of June, 2026.
The new blurb:
A starship drifts, its crew gone. The planet it orbits has no name.
Survivors are separated on the surface. Exhausted. Hunted. Lost.
The longer they stay, the less they can trust their own minds.
Their captor is as patient as he is bent on revenge.
Some prisons have no walls.
Oceanus is a futuristic mystery thriller loosely inspired by The Tempest.
Next week, I’ll be talking more about the book and the changes you’re going to see in the new edition. I am really looking forward to showing you what’s new and why!
Oceanus (2nd Edition) will be available on Thursday 18th June 2026.
Other news:
I’ve just finished up with the first draft of Salome and I would like to thank Ian Barr who has been a brilliant developmental editor working with me on this. I can’t believe it’s done. It’ll be out in October, and it left me breathless. Get in touch with him for some really insightful edits.
Salome (the serial version) will be back next week (I’ll post a link in the next article) but all chapters so far are currently up here. All previous chapters will be moving behind the paywall on 18th June so please make sure you catch up if you don’t want to miss the serial.
The Midnight Vault I and II are coming out 1st of June! One of my stories, The Switchboard features in MVI. The two new hardback editions are absolutely beautiful and you’ll be able to get them here.




Congrats on the second edition!! Proud owner of a copy of the first edition, and excited for you to have a beautiful new edition and cover in the world!!
Love that cover!
