Walking Eddie on the Somerset Levels

I have been an avid sci-fi reader for several decades, and cut my teeth reading Asimov, E. E. Doc Smith, Alan Dean Foster and such like. In more recent times Andy Weir’s The Martian, and absolutely everything penned by the fantastic Peter F Hamilton inspired me to think about what space story I would write if I was an author.

There never was any doubt in my mind that if I ever did write anything it would be sci-fi, and then in 2016, my other half encouraged me to start jotting down some ideas.

What happened next was that over the next eight months I wrote the first in The Fold Series, from beginning to end. No planning, no notes, just seat of the pants writing. It simply evolved in chapter order. It needed editing of course, but it was there, and the response from the first beta readers was amazingly positive.

The first two novels of The Fold Series were written while I was living in Brisbane, Australia. In late August of 2018 I returned to the UK and now find myself writing in a pretty village of Odcombe in deepest Somerset.

I’m surrounded with fantastic dog walks and the pretty thatched village pub is only a stones throw away.

I write the kind of stories I would like to read. The Fold Series, as Andy Weir has done with The Martian, is set a little in the future, and based around NASA technology. I like real characters, normal everyday people put into extraordinary circumstances, with realistic reactions and language. I know I wouldn’t say “gosh” if a 14km-long alien battle ship appeared next to me!

If you love non-stop action space adventures with believable characters, huge starships and awesome weaponry then why not give The Fold Series a try? Or maybe the Bache Loftt Series, it’s in the same universe. Or if you’re more crime orientated, then perhaps the Detective Inspector Cedric LeRoy Series might be more up your street.

Don’t forget to add your email address in the box provided, you’ll receive a free copy of The Architect Fold series prequel and I’ll keep you up to date about cover reveals, book launch dates, general progress on new titles and stuff about my writing life.

Finally, I really hope you enjoy the stories, if you do, please leave a short review. It’s a great way to let new readers know the books are worth a go (I use the best and most original reviews in my marketing too and of course it encourages me to write even more!).
