About

Science fiction and fantasy writer with a green tinge. Woke and proud. I'm not right, left or centre. I'm a logicalist. An ally of all races, gender identities and sexualities. Published novels: Zero Magenta, Stone & Sceptre, and Vega Rising. The last two being from fantasy series, The Nifaran Chronicles. My current WIP is a sci-fi called Proxi. I love sci-fi and fantasy TV, movies and games. Also interested in electric cars.
