The search for the merchant's daughter continues as Culainn crosses the mountains into the frozen north... home, to face his past and the many demons he left behind. Striking a bargain with the witch-queen, Neeve, he agrees to fight her enemies, the Shadow Druids and Blue-Woads, in return for her aid in freeing the girl he seeks. Will she keep her word, or has she treachery in mind? All the while, the dark god, Morrigu, continues to haunt Culainn's dreams, seeking to control him and make him her own champion.

The story of Vagabondo, a collection of male nudes and portraits, begins in Ireland, in spring time, with farmhands cavorting in lush fields and rustic farm yards, then moves across to industrial London and, after a brief interlude of fighting athleticism, cuts to Italy where labourers work and camp out in derelict palazzos in Sicily and Puglia. With their grace and beauty revealed amidst gorgeous decay they wrestle in cleansing showers and are finally submerged in Sistine waters. The cathartic climax occurs atop black mountains and amidst burnt forests and our now elevated vagrants assume Olympian status in this grim wilderness, before the volcanic landscape reveals ancient ocean cliffs and a pathway out of mythic winter melancholia, back into reality, a contemporary summer set around ocean surf, where the men can relax and revel."

Bloke is a photo collection of male nude portraits, set in rural and outback Australia. The book's story takes us on a journey through a day until dusk, observing men in their work locations, from shearing sheds to cattle yards in the morning to mechanic shops in the midday heat, truck stops and depots in the late afternoon and at sunset, we escape with the men into the cooling bushland for a swim in the river. Freeman revisits themes from both the Outback and Larrikin series, creating a sensual heroic story out of stoicism and camaraderie forged in the isolation of the vast and lonely outback.

"It is said that unto everything there is a season...these are the stories of a group of survivors during the season of the dead." Four individuals fight to survive as the zombie apocalypse crashes over the world in a wave of terror and destruction. Color, creed, and social standing mean nothing as the virus infects millions across the planet. Sharon: a zoologist from Nebraska, USA, has worked with the virus, and has seen the effects on the human mind. She knows more about the virus than nearly anybody alive, and far more than she wants to. Gerry: from Ontario, Canada, he gets his first taste of the virus from inside a prison cell. Locked up after an anti-government riot, his prison guard transforms before his eyes into a flesh craving zombie. Lucia: a chemist from Pittsburgh, USA, flees from a furry convention dressed as a giant squirrel, and escapes from the city in a Fed-Ex van. She's a girl who knows when to run and when to fight. Paul: thinks he can sit out the apocalypse in his apartment block in Dublin, Ireland, until the virus comes to visit, bursting his bubble and leaving him with no choice but to face reality or perish. All four begin perilous journeys in mind and body as they face daily trials to survive: Four threads, four different parts of the world, one apocalypse!

No one knew where they came from or why they chose that moment to crawl out from the shadows. In a devastating orgy of terror and violence blood-drinking monsters rose from the dark to gorge themselves on the blood of humans. Facing this threat, mankind turned on itself in a devastating wave of self-destruction. Twenty years after the Fall and what's left of mankind is eking out an existence in a post-apocalyptic world. With much of the Earth now a nuclear wasteland, civilization has been knocked back two hundred years. By day the remnants of humanity gather together in small groups drawing from the land what they can in their new technological wasteland. By night they hide behind walls and bank up fires in an attempt to ward off the evil stalking the land during the hours of darkness. The world needs a savior. A hero unafraid to face his own fears and terror of the vampires. An ex-preacher disillusioned by the world and his god is not that man... or so he says.

The first shoot is centered around the 1976 Bedford Van that Ian travelled and lived in, which he had largely re-built himself, and depicts his beachside lifestyle, while the second shoot on location in the outback focuses on Ian's job as a mechanic and some of his hobbies.

Kate's recurring dream of an ancient Chapel on an island is becoming longer and more detailed with each night. Her husband, Phil, decides it's time for a break. Kate has hopes that "Getting off life's Motorway" might also help her relax and become pregnant - a subject she has not yet discussed with Phil. They combine the trip with research into his family tree, which he has been postponing due to pressure at work. Their arrival in the village of Kilronan causes great interest, although initially they encounter a degree of suspicion. Phil learns that he may be entitled to claim the title of Clan Chieftain ( 'an MacDairmada' ) - and that certain responsibilities go with the title. Will Phil and Kate use their professional skills as photographer & commercial artist to resolve an ancient mystery concerning the Clan history? Or will they return to the city, forever leaving behind the chapel of her dreams? About the Author: Paul Freeman Born in the Year of the Tiger, Paul's natural curiosity combined with the deep-seated feline need to roam has meant that over the years he's never been able to call any one place home. His wanderlust has led him from one town to another, and even from one country to another. He has always followed his instincts without question or complaint, and in true cat fashion it seems he has always landed on his feet. "I can't remember a time when I didn't write - my father claims to possess a story I wrote when I was six, which filled 4 standard school exercise books! What I do remember from that time was being told off for doing the Liverpool Echo crossword before he got home from work! Perhaps it was the catalyst of breathing the same air as Hans Christian Andersen. While I was living in Denmark, I allowed myself to be persuaded to write for a purpose instead of purely for my own amusement." Paul has had a short play selected for a performance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and hopes to one day buy a plot of land (Castle Island on Lough Key, County Roscommon) and rebuild the castle on said island, which used to belong to my ancestors. Yes, the location of "The Chapel of Her Dreams" is a real place!
