I plan to re-read the Foundation series. :)

I moved from the bustle of Sydney to the quiet town of Manistee. I have worked in England, Australia, and America. I used to work in the computer industry for a number of high profile companies performing a variety of 'tasks'... I then disappeared off the radar for a little over ten years, and now I write science fiction novels. What work did I perform all those years ago? Especially work that required British Government clearance? - No mystery really, but still... Hmm, but then, my father was ex-military, plus we travelled all over the world, with my mother even visiting Russia in the late 1970's... 'No Worries Mates' - :)

I often watch the critters run up and down trees, bury their spoils, or eat food from the feeders. I then thought about a genetically engineered creature, one used as front line troops by an advanced military. This is not a new concept, but as time went by I came up with a story that will hopefully intrigue my readers. :)

I was inspired by many great writers, and often dreamed of emulating them. To that effort I have written for many years, but never anything as bold as a full size novel, and certainly nothing I released to the world. I kept my words to myself.
That all changed when I decided that I wanted to leave a legacy behind, and that legacy was a series of books. Thus the Terran Chronicles Universe was born.

A stand alone novel called Mamluk - It should be around 50-60K in size once it is all done, and will be available exclusively on Amazon.

Do not write for money or fame. Write because there is a story in you that must come out. Also, if a person enjoys writing, then they should keep writing. Early works will be rough! Accept that fact, and do not be afraid to 'fix' an old book if it needs it.
These are your books, do them your way.

I get to share with the world my crazy thoughts and ideas. The greatest thing by far though, is the fact that I know people who were too afraid to try, and they are now writing.

I go for motorbike rides, walks, and sometimes play computer games for a few days.
James Jackson
Yes I do. We must work together if we wish to survive, let alone thrive. Also, Earth has vast resources, but they not unlimited amounts, and if we continue to use them up at the pace we are, we need to look to other worlds, at least for mining.
