What if the transatlantic slave trade had sailed the other way? That question is the heart of TREVANNOCK, my debut novel — and the reason this newsletter exists. It’s 1782, and the African Adunbi Imperium runs the trade against Europe. An African commander. European captives. One voyage that rewrites everything.

I’m publishing the story here, chapter by chapter — free. Subscribe and you’ll get new chapters and scenes as they’re written, the history and research behind the “what if,” and first look at everything before it goes anywhere else.

This isn’t a revenge fantasy. It’s an attempt to make a familiar horror feel new — to understand it by standing somewhere we’ve never stood. Subscribe free, and I’ll send the next chapter straight to you.
