"Don't be put off by the pale purple homepage."Rough Guide to His Dark Materials.

This is where my articles and stories live. Many of them consist of fan fiction set in the worlds of Philip Pullman's trilogy His Dark Materials but there are a lot of original fiction and articles here as well. Most of my fan fiction stories have been published on Fanfiction.net where you can read and review them if you like.

Here is my LiveJournal. You can email me here.

THE LAST POST IS PUBLISHED

Edited by Darren Everett & Peter Kendell

A FULLY ILLUSTRATED SHORT STORY ANTHOLOGY

Sixteen variations on a theme…

From the Lovecraftian horror of THE LETTER to the lyrical magic of THE ISLAND, from the challenging mystery at the heart of PAST, LOST to the dark satire of BOGEY GETS A JOB, and from the long-buried secret of ARABETH to the hope, despite all, of PHEIDIPPIDES…

Eleven talented writers and artists have joined together to create THE LAST POST, a fully illustrated anthology of new and original short fiction linked by an intriguing question – what does the Last Post mean to you? Their answers will surprise and delight.

This is a collection of astonishing variety and imagination. Don’t miss THE LAST POST!

THE BOY PUBLISHED ON AMAZON KINDLE

I'm delighted to announce the release of my first collection of short stories on the Amazon Kindle platform: THE BOY and other tales of the supernatural.


In turn funny and serious, fearful and comforting, these are tales of the borderland – of the school where the magic of the elder powers of the Vale of White Horse is never far away, of the white witches and their demonic foes, of secret friends who suddenly take physical form, of the gods who are hanging on the phone, waiting for us to call.

Peter Kendell conjures up a world that is both everyday and extraordinary in a wide-ranging collection of stories. You may find the door to this world or it may find you. And when the door is opened and you pass through it you will discover… What?

Amazon Kindle eBooks can be enjoyed on a variety of devices including BlackBerry, Android, Windows PC and Apple Macintosh, iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, as well as the revolutionary Kindle e-reader.

North American readers can purchase THE BOY here and UK readers should go here.

GLORY, GLORY, GLORY!

The Tales of Glory are an exciting series of original fiction, set on the beautiful waterworld of Glory

"If you cared at all about your readers, Peter, you would be offering to furnish the costs of transportation so we can each go give our significant others a very large, long hug upon finishing this.

In other words, thank you for writing and sharing yet another beautiful tale. The pacing of this one was especially good, and even though the outcome was inevitable (I'd been told it was sad, and really what else could have happened), the telling was still suspenseful and deeply involving and... I am in awe."

Anoria

The Tides of Glory 'We were all pirates that Sally-season; buccaneers, desperadoes, the Terrors Of The Inner Sea, but my crew was the most notorious.'
Listen up, me hearties! Cap'n Annie McLuskie has a tale to tell of rivalry and derring-do.
The Guiding Star 'There never was a girl like Annie'. Emmy McLuskie tells the story of his sister's pioneering sea voyages in this sequel to The Tides of Glory.
