How far would you go to achieve your dream?

A decommissioned tugboat heads to the Southern Ocean to secure and tow an Antarctic iceberg to Tasmania.

On board is a crew of five including former salesman and mission mastermind Nigel ‘Rocky’ Turner, and Hannah Hiscott, a cadet journalist with a nose for uncovering the truth.

When Nigel’s behaviour becomes unpredictable, the crew become suspicious. Confrontations turn ugly and Hannah needs to escape, before it’s too late. For Nigel Turner, his mission is as crystal clear as the ice in his glass: there can only be one storyteller on this boat.

An epic mystery thriller from the author of The Prophecy Hoax.

The Prophecy Hoax

 

When heavens explode, who do you believe?
 

An overdue natural phenomenon.
A cyber virus.
Is this the second coming of Christ?

Father Brian Abernathy, a disgraced priest banished to a small country town in Australia, is infatuated with a solar scientist who is trying to predict the unpredictable.

On the opposite side of the world, two bored former hackers are inspired to release a cyber virus professing the return of Jesus Christ.

Two prophecies: one fake, one imminent. When the two collide, who are you going to believe: the priest, the pimp, the pope, or the scientist? Or perhaps an act from God himself?

Mostly set in Tasmania but with protagonists in Los Angeles and Europe, The Prophecy Hoax is a fast-paced psychological thriller from new fiction author Peter Edward.

Title note: This novel was first released by the same author under the title of The Second Coming. To avoid confusion with other titles with the same name, it was re-released as The Prophecy Hoax in late 2026. The physical book size was also slightly increased, and some errors were fixed.

The Lady

 

They want her silence. She must find her voice.

Despite being raised without parents amid the glittering splendour and whispered betrayals of the King’s court, Turrel has never lacked love. Her aunt has shielded her from the worst of courtly venom, teaching her kindness and courage in a world which rewards power, and demands silence.

Yet where words are sharper than swords, protection has its limits. As factions within the palace tighten their grip, Turrel is drawn into political games she never asked to play, valued less for who she is than for how she might be used.

When she learns a lord close to the King is preparing to betray the realm, Turrel may be the only one who can expose him. The danger is real, the shadows are deep, and the wrong step could cost her everything.

To save her kingdom, Turrel must summon a strength the court never believed she possessed. They have always seen her as a pawn. Now she must dare to become a player

The Monk

 

Blessed by the gods. Burdened by doubt.

Berlain has spent his life trying to fit into a world which has never understood him. But when the gods show him the rising darkness, he must decide how to use the gift he has been blessed with.

From his country monastery to the heart of The Kingdom, Berlain is shadowed by forces which see his worth more clearly than he can. With every step, he must face the truth he has denied since childhood—he may be far more important than he ever imagined.

Yet power means nothing in the hands of one who does not believe he deserves it. And if Berlain cannot rise above the doubt which binds him, the world will fall with him.

THE MISSION IS CLEAR. THE TRUTH IS NOT.

When a squad of Grassland Riders vanishes without a trace, twin apprentices Ayliah and Fareed set out on a journey that will challenge everything they believe. Their search leads them deep into Raider territory where survival demands not just skill—but the courage to choose wisely.

Yet the further they ride, the more truths surface—reaching beyond the plains and into the heart of power. In a court where power and influence are currency, can two young Riders make themselves heard before war ignites?

And in a race against time, as loyalties shift and motives unravel, one question lingers: who can they trust?

In a world on the brink, the seemingly accidental death of the Australian Museum’s Chairman unearths a venomous generational feud and something far more insidious.

If I Had A Voice

 

A Suite Of Songs That Will Remain Unheard

if i had a voice

i would sing outside the shower
i would lullaby my memories
i would soak up the power,
and i would speak my mind.
but i don’t
so instead i made a choice
that if i had a voice
was never one to be heard
something inside me purred
“at least it may be read”
because maybe i’d save some savaged soul instead
of bleeding them out on the drying ground
where my deceptions and brutality were found
maybe i can give them a voice
maybe they wouldn’t make that choice
so if i had a voice
id read you everything i came to realise
from dreams to memories,
reality to disguise,
and the inability
to tell one from the other.

In the heart of Sarsean, where shadows twist and secrets lurk, a skilled thief named Tarin finds himself ensnared by an unforgiving crime syndicate. With debts mounting, his only chance for survival lies in the retrieval of a seemingly mundane crystal shard hidden deep within abandoned ruins far from the city’s grasp.

Desperate for help, Tarin enlists the help of his loyal friend Ardin, a formidable soldier whose strength is matched only by his loyalty. Together, they assemble a diverse and skilled band of seven adventurers, led by the enigmatic elf Dyllandial.

As they journey through treacherous landscapes and face fierce monsters, they must rely on one another to survive. But as ancient forces awaken, can Tarin reclaim the shard and pay off his debts, or will his past catch up with him before he finds redemption?
