Urban fantasy, horror stories and psychological dramas.
John Raven and Maggie MacQuill established Warbreck Publishing in August 2024 as an outlet for their creative talents. Their aim is to write entertaining but accessible stories.
At present, these will be in the urban fantasy, post-apocalyptic, horror and psychological drama genres, but they do not wish to be constrained by such boundaries. So, don't be surprised if they chuck in a story about a ferret called Footsy along the way. Anything goes!
John Raven
John Raven was born sometime in the late 20th century. The hospital responsible for this outrage has been erased from history. The school that made a half-hearted attempt to educate him, torn down. The drinking establishments he frequented in his youth, refashioned as a medical centre and a supermarket. The places he worked, bulldozed. If you want a place destroying, just invite John along. It'll be a memory in seconds. In the meantime, he'll tell a few tales.
He specialises in urban fantasy, post apocalyptic and other-world stories. Oh, and creating rubble.

After the Dead are Gone
The first XLands novel by John Raven
Being a hero was easy. Living with the legacy is harder.
Michael Killeen is a hero. As Commander of the 95th he led the fight against the Infected during The Great Emergency. It came at a price. His wife, Isabelle, lost in the XLands. A vast quarantined area where the flesh-eating diseased still rule.
DS Sam Young didn’t fight in the war, but he knows about loss. His mother murdered before his eyes, her killer pardoned by the Amnesty Act.
When the body of a woman is unearthed in reclaimed XLands territory, both Killeen and Sam are forced to confront the traumas of their past. Can Sam solve the mystery of the grave? Will Killeen find peace of mind back in the desolate ruins of the XLands? Or is the battle with history the one fight they cannot win.
