thanks so much! For the moment I'm focusing on a fantasy trilogy that will be coming out 26/27/28, but I absolutely have a screed of notes and ideas for other books and projects set in the EXTREMOPHILE ecosystem- I hope to write a lot more there!

Hi! Thanks so much. I studied biology and epigenetics for my Masters and PhD, and then worked in research publishing and science communication for a few years (whilst trying to publish my fantasy trilogy!). After I published my fantasy trilogy (2021-2023, starting with THE GAUNTLET AND THE FIST BENEATH) I wanted to explore science fiction and try my hand at a different genre. I felt my background in research set me well to write a 'hard' science fiction book, and so decided to focus on the biology element of cyberpunk (where the genre tends to be a little better at tech, and not so well grounded when it comes to the biology!).
My inspiration came from my worries about climate collapse and corporate overreach- I wanted to explore themes of hope in the face of overwhelming odds, and the nature of the communities we build around ourselves as we try to move forward. however, I wanted to do that in the context of a pulpy action-focused thriller!
I hope this helps- if you would like to ask any more questions, drop me an email at ian-green@hotmail.co.uk
