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!

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.
