Author Description

A 36-year-old Ukrainian war veteran has been discharged with PTSD after fighting for his country. He resents running his late father's winery in Uzbekistan. Battling unseen malign forces, he lives in fear and alone in a remote cottage. The misery and drudgery of everyday life is turned upside down by the unexpected arrival of a stranger. Who are they and what do they want? Drawn into his dark world, the only way out means facing grave danger... No-one is as they appear to be, and time is running out. Quotes from people (both male and female) who have read it for me to give you a flavour. 'A rollercoaster of a ride. A celebration of Neurodiversity, comradery, love and female heroism in the face of adversity. A read that both men and women will enjoy, containing positive messages about male friendship and mental health.' 'A gripping thriller, both funny and dark. Expect the unexpected.' 'Refreshing. Characters come from backgrounds not frequently represented.'
