I've always enjoyed science fiction and watching films like Back to the Future and programmes like Doctor Who inspired me to finally put pen to paper.

I have a lot of ideas for stories and just never got around to writing. But, when I had an image in my mind of a man appearing in the middle of a room in a capsule of fiery light, hardly knowing himself what has just happened, I knew that my first novel was brewing in my thoughts.

I wrote the first six chapters. Then, bizarrely, while actually trying to back up my work, I lost it. It was actually unrecoverable. I then resolved to re-write those chapters, which I did as best as I could (and possibly improved upon the original). I then carried on writing with a renewed zeal and urgency. No way was I going to lose my work again (how I managed to lose it is a mystery, because I am not a technophobe).

My book was then finished, edited, proofed and published. It is available at various retailers in paperback (such as amazon) and is also available from the ibookstore and on amazon's kindle (+ other readers).

I am working on my next book for an early 2012 release!
