Dominic is a UK fantasy writer crafting literary‑leaning stories of rebellion, consequence, and fractured power. He is currently developing two major works: A Kingdom Bought in Blood (submitted to the Bath Novel Award and Bridport Novel Award) and The Canary (entered into Writers of the Future).
“There was a moment, small and complete — something I understood perfectly but could never shape into words. A fracture, not in the hand or the voice, but in the eyes where truth finally slipped through.”
The Canary - A dark speculative novella about truth, loyalty and human fracture.
“The water‑bridge stretched before me like a blade laid flat, its surface trembling with the weight of what I was about to do. The world held its breath, and for a moment, I thought I could hear my own nature cracking beneath the silence.”
A Kingdom Bought in Blood - A dark political fantasy novel. Rebellion and its costs on the grand scale as well as personal.
