The Chronicles of Judas is a completed trilogy of modern, urban fantasy vampire novels. The series follows protagonists D.S Leo Harrison and Helena Carey as they navigate investigating a series of murders, their undeniable attraction and Helena’s secret that threatens to destroy everything.
A fourth novel, an interconnected standalone / companion MM romance, is currently being written, charting the relationship of two the key characters in the COJ series - and the relationship that ignited everything.
IMPORTANT UPDATES
From September 2025, the *current* versions of The Chronicles of Judas (Judas Kiss, The Devil’s Whore and The Devil’s Due) will no longer be available in paperback. If you want to complete a collection in this format, now is the time!
The Kindle version will also come offline temporarily, but the date is TBA.
Due to my cover artist no longer being available, and a fourth CoJ book in production, I had to make a decision on where I wanted my brand to go.
As a result, I have engaged a new cover designer, who will be taking the Judas world on its next adventure. She will produce JK and once we know the theme / look of the design, we'll do TDW and TDD.
All three will be released again once the designs are ready.
What does this mean?
New and updated versions of Kindle and Paperbacks will be coming. I am hoping they will be available in time for Christmas - but I'm not rushing this process. I want them right.
The updated paperbacks will have new ISBN's, and be available through more distribution lines. I know not everyone is comfortable buying through Amazon.
They will still be available there, but not the only source.
Special Edition hardbacks will also be available in 2026 as well as merch!
Stay tuned for updates!
PAPERBACKS:- WILL BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 5th September 2025!

Leo Harrison is investigating the murder of a woman washed up on the banks of the Thames. She has been raped, mutilated and a symbol carved into her chest.
Unable to trace the symbol, the police call on the expert knowledge of Helena Carey, historian and occult specialist. She recognises the symbol as being the mark of serial killer Alexei Vorontsevich, executed for similar crimes in 1796.
They soon discover that the victim is the killer's third, and that all the female victims share the same rare genetic condition; but the connection to Vorontsevich remains elusive.
When a fourth woman with the condition goes missing, Leo and his colleagues must find and save her from a manipulative, predatory killer.
Working together, Leo and Helena’s professional chemistry turns into personal happiness. Their passionate affair becomes a refuge from the brutal world that brought them together.
But their happiness is short lived - death surrounds Helena and those close to her. The past won’t stay buried and the shadow of the murders never seems to be far from her door.
When Helena is forced into revealing a dark secret, heartbroken Leo is left questioning everything he believes in.As past and present collide, those standing in its wake will have to fight to survive. Challenging everything he believes in will allow him to see that truth hides in plain sight, time does not heal the stricken, hate is all consuming; but love is worse…
Life will never be the same again.

Following the explosive ending of Judas Kiss, Helena Carey’s world has been blown apart. Many of those she cares about have died and the life of her best friend hangs in the balance. Now she must find a way to rebuild her shattered life whilst assisting Leo Harrison, and the police, build their case to bring those responsible to justice.
Through it all, Leo and Helena begin to find the happiness they nearly lost as they embark on a life together. Six years after the events that nearly drove them apart, their passionate relationship is also one of happy domesticity. Then, just as the darkness appears to be waning, tragedy strikes one who has suffered the most. It forces Helena to confront her past actions surrounding the mysterious Elisabeth Báthory; a woman without rules, boundaries or conscience. A history bathed in blood, she is hell bent on revenge and no one is safe.
As Leo and Helena are once again plunged into events beyond their control, they realise they are part of a game to which they do not know the rules. The result will change their lives forever.

If you think you know the rules of this game, you are wrong...
Following her attack on Trafalgar Square, Elisabeth Báthory has played her hand. Helena Carey’s life has been left devastated. Leo Harrison has been left seriously wounded, unable to save himself or his family from Elisabeth’s plan.
At Hunsden, Helena must find the strength to drag herself from despair. In doing so, she and her remaining family and friends will have to band together, make uneasy alliances and discover much of what they knew was wrong.
Injured from the attack, and separated from his wife, Leo is caught in the centre of Elisabeth’s plot. He is powerless against her and her whims, until he comes to understand her plans for him, and those he loves.
Realising he is playing a game against someone without rules, boundaries or conscience, he knows that he has one chance, even if it comes at the ultimate price, because in this game, freedom costs blood.
