COUNTING IN DANISH
Counting in Danish is a coming-of-age novel that deals with grief, loss and the heartbreaking reality of losing the person you’re closest to in the world.
It follows a young woman, Jess, as she’s exploring her identity and roots, while grieving the tragic loss of her twin. As the story unfolds, secrets and truths are concealed and uncovered, and the obscure circumstances of Sophie’s death are gradually revealed.
A ROUGHER TASK
A Rougher Task is the first in an extraordinary three-part saga, following two ordinary young men as they attempt to navigate their growing feelings for one another whilst fighting alongside an army divided by race, wealth, experience, and perceptions of what is right. Set against the backdrop of the bloody Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, it tells the tale of a fight for survival in the face of arduous conditions, personal sacrifice and formidable opposition to a love imperilled.
Eloquently written, meticulously researched, and artfully balancing historical fact and emotive human experiences, DJG Palmer delivers storytelling akin to Madaleine Miller’s epic retelling of the Trojan War, Song of Achilles, drawing on his personal experiences and the insight into the conflicts of a gay man in the military before the early 2000s to create a narrative that allows readers to instantly connect with the struggles faced by his two protagonists.
UNQUIET MINDS
Unquiet Minds investigates the savage murder of a young woman, who in her last breath claims a werewolf had attacked her. But werewolves don’t exist.
As part of his recovery in therapy, former history lecturer R.I. Penny decides to write a novel. But as plot and subplot interweave, Penny and his fictional hero, Oldman, becomes inextricable, and Penny’s sense of reality starts to crumble around him.
With themes of trauma and mental health weaved throughout the plot, Unquiet Minds is a captivating mystery thriller that will keep the reader guessing until the end.

THE UNTHINKABLE TRUTH
The Unthinkable Truth is a gripping thriller that delves into the depths of the human mind and explores how real and seemingly innocent scientific discoveries can spiral into global dystopia.
