The New Knights can be taken as independent series with different genres, or when taken collectively, a shared tale of modern day heroes who protect our world on varying battlefields. Below the novels collectively work towards what will be known as Volume I.
Volume I
Avalon
A man. A king. A legend.
Artie Abrams is every bit the mild manner high school teacher thankful to be off for the summer holidays. He lives a normal life, no more or less baggage than most. That is until an explosion rips away his chance for reconciliation with his estranged father; and he’s left a unique inheritance that will change his life forever.
Arthur was a warrior, a king. Slain in glorious battle against his mortal enemy, leaving behind a young wife and a group of knights to secure his legacy – he is sure his space in the next world is secure. Until he finds himself a man ripped from time and drawn into a new battle in a new world he’s not yet ready for. One in which magic has been forgotten and greed reigns supreme.
Artie and Arthur together are thrown into an ancient war between man and beast. Beasts whose fanatical devotion to their fallen leader will make them stop at nothing to dominate all life. Only if Artie and Arthur can work together – and with the help of a rogue wizard and a drunken lush – can they hope to become the legend they were born to be. Avalon.

Insomniac
Everyone told him he was crazy – and why wouldn’t they? Not everyone breaks down in the middle of the day screaming about the ‘dark man’. Not everyone has chronic insomnia that drives them to the brink. So for Liam Harper that’s what he is – crazy.
Then something begins to change. People begin to die. People with connections to his past. Suspicion begins to fall on him – after all he has just been released from psychiatric care. After all he’s the crazy one. Right?
Soon Liam begins to realise that the ‘dark man’ may be more than just a product of his fractured mind. As the clues mount and the body count rises, Liam begins to uncover truths that make him question everything – his diagnosis, his life and even reality itself – as he’s awoken to a beautiful and dangerous new world.
One where nightmares walk…and kill.

Bastet
3000 BCE, Ancient Egypt. The age of Titans is ending. Bastet, one of the last pure-bloods, walks a realm slipping from divine hands into human rule — a world of betrayal, exile, and shifting sands.

Across oceans of time, their fates entwine. As ancient grudges awaken and cosmic forces rise, Bastet and Linda are drawn together in a battle that will decide more than empires.
In a story of myth and memory, of sacrifice and survival, witness the return of a legend — and the tragic, timeless love of two souls bound for eternity.
The sands shift. Love endures.
