| Introduction | I’m a writer who enjoys penning both speculative fiction and poetry; an admittedly odd pairing which initially came together as a coping mechanism, but are now pursued, at least in terms of poetry, solely for pleasure. If interested, you can read a brief narrative of that journey in my chapbook 'The Scribbler Manifesto.' As a lifelong fan of cyberpunk and tech noir literature, I wanted to produce a series of books that followed humanity from a broadly recognisable (if worrying) present, into a foreseeable future where inherent human characteristics and an ever-increasing pandora's box of technology lead to serious moral questions and inevitable conflict. 'Ghost in the Machine' is the first step on that journey. I live in Herne Bay, England with my wife Jo and dog, Max.

| Interests | Cyberpunk and tech noir fiction, old books and fountain pens. |
| Favorite movies | Bladerunner, The Matrix series, Star Wars, and (although TV series) Altered Carbon, and The Expanse |
| Favorite music | I love all kinds of classical music, particularly Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings. But I also really enjoy Zola Blood. |
| Favorite books | Voice of the Whirlwind is my all time No. 1, after that the early work by William Gibson (particularly Neuromancer and Count Zero) and anything by the greats - Isaac Asimov and PK Dick. |
