Draca

Jack's a war hero, haunted by his past... or is he just haunted?

A war-damaged veteran on a mission to self-destruct…
… a controlling father pushing him ever closer to the edge…
… and a yachtswoman who gives all she has to hold him back.

And between them all, there’s an old boat with dark secrets, and perhaps a mind of its own.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hard to put down. Tense and atmospheric...excellent.

Saxon’s Bane

You cannot escape the past

A young archaeologist uncovers her dream find; the peat-preserved body of a Saxon warrior.

Nearby, a car crashes, and a man sees something inexplicable at the edge of death.

Their stories will become inextricably linked as the present echoes the ancient, bloody past.

“Once there was a great classical tradition of rural British horror from MR James to The Wicker Man. Now Geoffrey Gudgion has revived the style, proving there’s still nothing as creepy as the countryside.”

Christopher Fowler, author of Hell Train and the Bryant & May mysteries

Welcome

Thanks for dropping by.

I’m an author. Along the way I’ve also been a Royal Naval officer and a businessman, but now I write full time. It’s a lot more fun, and a joy to share my work with readers.

I like creating stories with complex, conflicted characters that a reader can bleed with, cry for, and perhaps fall in love with. They live in worlds where you can smell the sweat and the sewers as well as the roses, but where you might also encounter something numinous.

If you like the work of authors such as Mark Lawrence (Red Sister, etc), Robin Hobb (the Farseer Trilogy, etc), or Guy Gavriel Kay (The Lions of Al-Rassan, etc), you’ll love my Rune Song epic fantasy trilogy, Hammer of Fate, Runes of Battle, and Blood of Wolves.

Please do join my mailing list. There’s free a book of short stories to download. I’ll also keep you updated on future releases and give you some insights into the inspiration behind the books. Follow me on social media if you’d like more frequent updates and Contact me if you have suggestions, or ideas for collaboration.

I try to respond promptly to all messages. Forgive me if I don’t; it probably means I am in my writing cabin, which is fifty yards and five hundred years from the house.
