I'll try to keep the content current, and also short and sweet. You'll get anything from short snippets, chapter excerpt, cover reveals, ARC copies, beta copies and other little tidbits that I normally wouldn't post on socials, or if I do, weeks later. So stay in the loop, get stuff before anyone else.

Cheers!

 NEW RELEASE!

Techinicolour Sandbox is out at last! A quirky melange of six off-beat, might-just-happen, speculative science fiction stories, held together by an underlying adhesive from the virtual and digital universe—an inevitable epoch the world is approaching in leaps and bounds. These six short stories carry the basic theme, whether it’s a mere mention or a full-on metaverse experience.

From Mars, with Love Terror: Could a habitat simulation be, in fact, a virtual minefield to navigate? It’s worth a thought when reality becomes so skewed as to make one wonder.

 
Puff of Smoke & Quantum Qubits: Entities created from the energies of real life and the virtual world. Is that even possible? It appears so, since a would-be empress enters Real Life to find the emperor she must free.

Trans-galactic Dreaming: Can astral travel really be as simple as falling asleep? And can one return from such travels?

Cabin Cruising: Will our elderly end up going on virtual cruises? What’s to stop its abuse – and meddling offspring who only want their inheritance and the old out of the way?

Adnile: Drenched in a world inhabited by everything fantasy, from dragons to faeries—but is it real? And why does the queen remember her mortal self?

The Robot and the Goldfish: Can a robot evolve to have emotions so he can watch sunsets with his fish? And can a robot suffer grief and loss, then make things right for his well-being? 

2023 Releases and News

 The years, and time, are simply breezing by! One minute it was still 2022, and now, a quarter past 2023. To be fair, I haven't really been posting much. I mean, how many people really read blogs these days, right? I'm usually found on Instagram where I'm more current and posting regularly.

So, quick recap! In September of last year, Raq, was released. This novel had taken me quite some time to finally finish. And I'm glad I did as it has received such incredibly great reviews.

Before I knew it, 2022 had ended, and I was neck deep into finalising The Dark Without. In March 2023, I finally released this twisty, bendy, every-which-way novel, and again, to some very great reviews.

THE DARK WITHOUT

 

What else? Well... The decision to go wide. So, after cancelling my Draft 2 Digital (D2D) account a few years ago, I rejoined to they can handle the wider distribution of all my books, paperbacks included. Of course, this means that I can no longer be enrolled with Kindle Unlimited, so, it's a bit of a blow as many of my "sales" are through the KU page reads. But, it's time to spread out farther afield and see what it has to offer me.

Think that's about it for now. I'll be updating links to my books in the coming days.

Cheers!

New Releases for 2022!

I'm so behind in blog posts! Also, do people still read blogs?

Anyway, quick catch up. Mostly the two releases I had this year. The first one is Grosjean, a sci-fi romp with a space pirate everyone thought to be dead. This book was stewing and simmering for a very long time! Since 2011, the seeds of this book started on the heels of me completing The Lancaster Trilogy, and at first, I wanted it to be a sequel to the trilogy. But that didn't happen. I did keep some elements of the Lancaster world, in small, tucked away mentions, but Grosjean is a story all of its own!

Then, months later, we have Raq. This is another story that I've been working on, since 2012. Raq originally came out as a short story in an anthology collection called, Slayers. But I'd always wanted to make this into a full-length. For many years, I picked it up, then put it down. I honestly didn't know where or which direction to take with the story. But slowly, the framework started to take shape, and I ploughed on, moulding it to what it is now. I am thoroughly pleased with the way it turned out. Raq is unlike most of my books, where the action and thrills are visceral and wild. This book is a more introspective, philosophical and character-driven story.

What's next for me? I'm currently working on finalising a new story, called The Dark Without. I think you'll like that one too.

Cheers for now!
