Chris Devine is a project manager implementing high performance computing systems to universities and research establishments throughout the UK. He has devoured science fiction novels for as long as he can remember: from E. C. Eliott and Hugh Walters as a child, to Larry Niven, Robert Heinlein, A E van Vogt and Isaac Asimov as a teenager and Elizabeth Moon and so many others as an adult.

He published his first novel, The Archer’s Paradox, in 2014 although the germ of the idea was born in a daydream decades before when he was eleven years old.

I am really sorry about not answering your question. I hope you can forgive me. Full Circle is out now. It was a real problem to get finished and published but I finally did it.

You may also be interested to hear that I am working on a supplemental Travis Fletcher story provisionally called The Goexian Conundrum which is set between books 3 and 4. It is a couple of storylines that I cut out of book 3 because they had no relevance to the story arc.

I am also working on an unrelated project called Petra which follows the exploits of a 15 year old schoolgirl who wakes up from a coma. She is academically brilliant, speaks 3 languages but cannot remember her previous life. She is also being haunted by nightmares and a second consciousness in her head.(less)

If that does not work, go to bed or leave it until another day, even if that 'day' is weeks away. Sometimes my best ideas come when I least expect it. Don't let it stress you out. If writing becomes a chore you are doing it wrong.(less)

Chris Devine Chris Devine said: " This is probably the first 'grown up' science fiction book I ever read. It is older than me, being written in 1952 (I have a 1965 edition and it cost me 3/6, that's 17.5p). I found it during a clean-up of our bookshelves and decided to read it again. ...more "

Started at breakneck speed which carried on to the last page. Still not a fan of the 'cliff hanger' endings because my personal preference is for a book to have a conclusion but it has held my attention enough for me to download book 3 - Space Reveng ...more
