Biography
As far as I can remember, writing has always been a part of my life since High School. Strange ideas for stories would come to me and I would have write them down; I even remember when I was 15 and submitting a short story to my teacher called Murdering the Orient Express about a newspaper called The Orient Express and how a despicable villain was killing journalists who had stumbled across his nefarious ways. My teacher enjoyed the story but wasn’t convinced that the content truly reflected on the subject manner; which was about investigative journalism and what are the costs involved with uncovering the truth. That said, given that I have been exploring the very tiny would of atoms, no one has ever told me to curb my enthusiasm for a good story and to take it as far as possible. Some time ago, I self-published a collection of short stories called Heroes, Monsters and other Miscreants (ISBN 0646268945), and although not a best-seller, I enjoyed the experience of actually being in print.
I am currently working on a new novel titled physika which is a sequel to my first full-length volume called atoms and I am about half-way through, with the story defined and the characters from the first novel that have been reintroduced but in a far more harsh atomic-world than they were when we met them in the first book.
