A-Z of Depths Made of Light
Dive into the fourth volume of the Quantum Ethics and A-Z Poetry series, a blunderous poetic introspection from Alexander Paul Burton. This collection eschews wistful nautical clichés to explore the turbulent waters of the human condition through the lens of quasi-physics and gentle philosophy. These poems use water not as a subject, but as a metaphor, a constant medium for reflecting trauma, moral ambiguity, and existential growth. From the "Ebb and Flow" of ethical struggles to the "Fixed Superposition" of beauty and evil, Burton explores the tension between: Wetness and Dryness: The chaos of ethical dilemmas versus the clarity of moral conviction. The Observer: How unintentional human impact shapes reality and collapses the quantum waveform of choice. The Alpha and Omega: A mathematical framework that posits goodness as an aggregate value tending towards the infinite ($\Omega$), while evil remains a perpetual, halved shadow. A-Z of Depths Made of Light is a complex, coded, and deeply private journey that turns personal belligerence into a framework for understanding moral clarity. The verses are a challenge to the reader: to learn to swim in the shifting currents of a life spent in relative solitude, and to observe the world without flinching from the profound cosmic implications of the smallest daily choice. Discover a volume where Descartes meets Schrödinger, and the relentless chase for self-reflection culminates in a unique ethical outlook on good, bad, and the beautiful mechanics of change.

The Hollow Vale
Before Rome. Before the Celts. Before memory itself. In the time when the Sahara bloomed green and the gods still walked the earth, a great deluge reshaped the world. From the drowned lands of Saelhara, Queen Mira led her people north to the mist-laden isle of Tharion, the land that would become Britain, and founded the realm of Atlantis. But paradise cannot last. Seven centuries later, Kael, a young Stoneforged of star-born blood, is summoned to the Great Henge. His task: to harmonize the ancient ley lines and preserve the balance of the Wyrd. Instead, his song shatters time itself, cleaving the world into Seen and Unseen, mortal and immortal. The Sundered Land is the first cycle of The Hollow Vale, a mythic reimagining of Pre-Roman Britain steeped in Bronze Age mysticism, forgotten languages, and the weight of prophecy. Translated from fictional Tharionese runes, these tales blur the line between history and legend, inviting readers into a world where wetness births creation, spirals govern fate, and even gods must learn humility. For readers who loved Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea, Madeline Miller's Circe, and the mythic resonance of Tolkien's Silmarillion. Part One of Four. The rupture has begun. The mending will take lifetimes.

Brian wasn't looking for love on the 8:32 from Waterloo. Fresh from a disastrous date and nursing a spilled glass of chardonnay, the last thing he needs is complications. But when Ollie-a confident rowing coach with a girlfriend and zero interest in men-offers him napkins and a smile, something shifts. What starts as chance encounters on London buses and awkward gym sessions becomes something neither can ignore. Ollie's hands linger too long during training. Brian catches himself staring at the mandarin scent of Ollie's shower gel. And that jockstrap Ollie accidentally took home? Maybe it wasn't so accidental after all. But Ollie has never been with a man. He's never questioned what he wants-until Brian makes him feel dangerously alive. Between the icy waters of the Thames and the intimacy of late-night poetry, Ollie must choose: the safety of what he knows, or the terrifying freedom of what he feels.

Desire at Henley opens on a single weekend at one of England's most storied sporting events, where three men navigate the particular freedoms and complications of a life lived just outside the mainstream. Brian, a professional fundraiser with an acute awareness of appearances, finds himself suspended between the easy intimacy of his throuple with rowers Finn and Aly, and the unexpected arrival of Archie, a groundsman and PhD student who moves through the world with a quiet certainty Brian has never quite managed himself. Set against the champagne-soaked enclosures of Henley Royal Regatta, the ancient country lanes of Oxfordshire and the unhurried rhythms of rural cottage life, this is a novel about class, desire and the slow work of figuring out what you actually want. It is frank about sex and tender about love, interested in the gap between the two, and quietly attentive to the social codes that govern who gets to be visible and on whose terms.

George arrived in New York with a suitcase, a British accent, and the uneasy confidence of someone who believed reinvention should feel steadier than this. Act I traces his first days in Manhattan: Bowery apartments, Equinox workouts, subway lines learned too quickly, and a series of encounters that blur the line between intimacy and distraction. Through hookups, half-dates, and carefully misjudged connections, George begins to understand that desire can anchor you just as easily as it can unmoor you. Moving between Williamsburg and NoLita, bars and bedrooms, corporate offices and quiet moments alone, he navigates sex, ambition, and loneliness with dry humour and an observant eye. Conversations about work, masculinity, class, and belonging unfold alongside physical intimacy that is neither sensationalised nor apologetic, simply present. This first act is not about falling in love. It is about arrival: learning the city's rhythms, testing identities, and discovering that starting over rarely feels clean. New York offers George a blank slate, but it also demands that he decide what he is willing to write on it. A contemporary, authentic gay novel about desire, modern masculinity, and the uneasy calm that comes before commitment.

The Jinglewyrms of Snarwood Bay
In the mist-shrouded days before Rome's legions marched across Britain, when magic still breathed through ancient Somerset's green marshlands, a forgotten race of creatures lived in peace along the wild shores of Kilve. The Jinglewyrms-delicate, winged beings no larger than a child's hand-wanted nothing more than to wrap themselves around coastal rocks and live in harmony with the crashing sea. But when Roman merchants pollute their beloved bay and destroy the coastal bounty they depend upon, these tiny warriors must find courage they never knew they possessed. Led by the noble Mr. Snarwood, a band of unlikely heroes embarks on an epic journey across ancient Britain. Guided by Caelir's star and aided by the goddess Minerva herself, they traverse marshes and forests, face imperial soldiers, and infiltrate the Roman fort at Sorviodunum. Their quest: to save their home from destruction, no matter the cost. Blending lyrical poetry with sweeping narrative, The Jinglewyrms of Snarwood Bay is a tale of environmental resistance, mythic adventure, and the power of the small against the mighty. Rich with invented mythology, real Somerset geography, and themes of cultural preservation, this modern epic reminds us that the greatest heroes are often the ones history forgets-until someone remembers to tell their story. Perfect for readers who love Watership Down, Tolkien's Middle-earth, and tales where nature fights back.

Ancient British Folklore Reimagined
Ancient British Folklore Reimagined in Verse Step into the world of the Fabled Gable, where Roman Britain's waning empire collides with myth, magic, and the timeless folklore of Britain.

This collection, part of a five-volume Fabled Gable series, explores the journey of Caelwyn, the Bellbearer, whose dreams awaken the Deep Wyrd, the primeval current of magic that binds the land. From ritualised verse and the imagined Tharionese language to seasonal tales and haunting myths, these poems trace the fragile threads between history and imagination, loss and remembrance. Wander mist-shrouded moors, hear the toll of invisible bells, and encounter legendary creatures in a Britain that is as magical as it is eternal.
