Scions of the Tuatha Dé

A new serial novel

A historical fantasy set in 15th century Ireland

The MacLaughlin Brothers are about to lose their farm and have few remaining connections with the world around them. It won’t stop otherworldly forces from dragging them into a battle to save their home and the rest of Ireland.

Donal struggles with a tormented mind–but it wasn't always so. His older brother, Finn, set aside his own ambitions to raise Donal after their parents died. When Finn is kidnapped by a creature known only through folk tales, Donal receives help from unlikely sources–an old family friend and their landlord’s daughter–to save him.

They introduce the brothers to a new truth: their mythical heroes, the Tuatha Dé, were real and the young men are among their descendants.  

The descendants of ancient villains, the Fomori, walk their world as well, threatening to unleash a supernatural blight upon the entire land. 

What do we owe our family? Our neighbors? Ourselves? Donal and his found family must answer these questions as they travel and train between battles with demons, spirits and evil sorcerers.

    My unlikely journey toward 'Scions'

    Six months ago this seemed too far-fetched for a bucket list. On the final day of September I finished an 88,000-word first draft of a story that has rolled around my head for five years, first as a video game and later a concept album.
