In a race against time, Tobin becomes the reluctant representative of a distracted deity, and the fate of all humanity rests in his hands. But Tobin couldn’t care less about other people, and saving every living soul might just be the death of him!

With just one week until Tobin Artichoke and the Queen of Heaven is released I thought it’d be a good idea to give you a taste of what to expect. So here’s another of Tobin’s odd adventures, this time in the ruins of Atlantis.
What’s it about?
Mapping Atlantis should have been an easy task for a crypto-cartographer like Tobin Artichoke. But when a mysterious tower appears in the ruins of the sunken city, Tobin and his decapitated brother Drake find themselves drawn into a centuries-old mystery that might just unleash an ancient evil onto the face of the Earth.
Tobin is the only one who can stop a plague of insanity consuming every living thing, but he’s got his bumbling brother to find first, and an inaccurate map to complete. Join Tobin Artichoke as he uncovers the ancient secrets of the Asylum of Atlantis.
Tobin Artichoke and the Asylum of Atlantis is the perfect entry point into this new urban fantasy series, and you can read it for free here! Grab it now and discover the slightly bizarre adventures of Tobin Artichoke for yourself!

Meet Tobin Artichoke, a crypto-cartographer. He maps secret, forgotten places, like the Back Door to Hell, which is actually quite nice, not as hot or as overdeveloped as the more touristy parts of Hell. Or the Faerie City of Finklestone, which only exists for an hour on mid-summer’s eve and smells of fish and plasticine. Or the Tower of Forgotten Things, where odd socks go to die, their passing lamented by dead pens and lost telephone numbers.
Tobin Herodotus Shirley Artichoke is a close personal friend of mine. Well, I say friend, but he never calls me. In fact, I don’t think he likes me. Actually, I know he doesn’t like me, but I won’t let his contempt spoil our relationship. I’ve known him for a long time, almost ten years now, and he’s been living rent-free in the darker parts of my mind all that time, so it’s a relief to finally have him out and earning his keep in the from of my new book, Tobin Artichoke and the Queen of Heaven.
