Hello!

This is my first ever blog post, so I thought a good place to start would be to share some information about myself and why I have decided to start blogging.

First of all, who am I? That’s rather a big question, which can’t really be fully answered in a single post, but hopefully the following will at least give you some details which may be elaborated in future posts:-

• Father (of 3) and Husband (of 1)
• Lifelong Science Fiction Fan (mainly Hard, Technical SF)
• New Scientist Subscriber since the age of 15. Lifelong interest in all things Science and Technology
• Runner, distances up to Half Marathon (most recent 2019) and occasionally further. Cyclist (although my bike is much better than I am)
• Senior IT Manager for a Cable and Internet company in the UK
• Science Fiction Author (since 2019)

… and it’s really the last point above which has prompted me to start this blog.

I wanted to set up a place where I could write and share information, all sorts of information, including:-

• More about my own Science Fiction stories – background, inspirations, sources, ideas, publication news
• Thoughts, views and reviews of other Science Fiction work I have read
• As above for Science Fact
• Anything else that is of importance to me or may be of interest to others

I hope my posts will be of interest to you! My next one will talk through my journey from Science Fiction fan to first published story.
