It's set a few decades after this, during the lesser known Peloponnesian Wars; effectively a civil war between Athens and Sparta.

While it's a very different environment from my debut book Salvage, it has the same energy and fast-pace. And for history lovers, I'm aiming for a much more authentic treatment of the period, unlike some of the movies that have been set in this part of history in recent years.(less)

I constantly look for ways I can take cool elements or ideas I've stumbled across and apply them to a setting or to characters I'm interested in.

A lot of the troubling stuff going on also inspires me to write. I always strive to mesh entertainment with positive messaging in my books, as with the environmental themes in Salvage.

My biggest problem is not getting inspired to write, but finding the time to spend on turning all my ideas into fully-fledged stories!(less)

The Death of Common Sense...

Common sense is dead. Common sense has been the glue that has held societies together throughout human history; a communal sense and understanding built up through common experience. But the Industrial Revolution triggered fundamental changes to our social structures that have accelerated into the globalised world of the 21st Century. This rapid pace of change has created a perception among many t
