I love science and what is happening in the world. I work in credit control and love maths, now I know it makes me sound like a geek! You are probably right.
My Novel The Alternates encompasses everything I love, Dan Brown, Frank Herbert and Tolkien. Obviously I am none of these people but they are my aspirations.
The very odd thing is these authors all add heavy religious connotations to their works, maybe that is the key, or at least was, but I have tried as hard as I could to create alternate realities without any religious reference, so as not to offend but ultimately because outside of our world, outside of our reality, who knows what there is.
Book two is well on the way, and I am thinking it will be out 21 May 2015!

In the real world I find it very hard to express myself for fear of, well reprisal, but on paper things become so easy. So for me I feel I can really bring characters to life. As for the science fiction, fantasy elements, well again it is so easy to let your imagination run wild, to invent, create and mould things the way you want people to see things. It’s pure escapism!

I did however get caught up in 'editing block' I started to revise a few chapters when i was half way through the first draft of my book. I got so caught up in trying to make each word work perfectly that I found myself obsessing and trapped in a loop.
note to self:- don't redraft for at least a month after finishing a book.(less)

Big Bang!!!

just completed a legal form with Warner Bros, so that my book can be a prop on season 8 of the big bang theory (which is being filmed now). Hope that Sheldon gets a chance to read it! LOL.
