Young Artful Rogues

Signed by the author!

One boy used as bait. One girl with a secret past. Together, they’ll sink a Regime.

Thirteen-year-old Flynt Cunningham was never meant to survive. As bait aboard a sea monster-hunting ship, his life was cheap. Until he escaped.

Now, he’s on the run with Xanthe, a deadly girl with red eyes, a violent past, and secrets carved into her skin.

Together they set out to break into the Capital and rescue Flynt’s imprisoned father. But the Regime is an ever-growing war machine; ruthless, relentless, and always building new weapons. Especially the kind that bleed.

To bring it down, they’ll have to outwit soldiers, hijack airships, and stay one step ahead of the masked enforcer hunting them: an elite killer known only as the Reaper.

Because surviving the hunt is just the beginning. And some monsters are made, not born.

Liam Porter resides in Hervey Bay, Queensland with his wife Renee and three young daughters Isla, Eden and Halle. Together they make the most of living near K'gari (Fraser Island), often travelling there for an adventure. Liam has always been an avid fantasy reader - a love which led him to start a career as a High School English teacher back in 2009 and still enjoys to this day. He is also an Australian Army Reservist, serving as a Rifleman with the 9th Royal Queensland Regiment since 2010 - a job that has provided plenty of excitement and action over the years.

He looks forward to the opportunity to keep telling the tale of Flynt Cunningham and Xanthe Bones - a story which planted its seed in his mind during the nights settling his girls as newborns.
