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!(less)

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(less)

"Good cyberpunk eco/biopunk themes, body modifications in full effect. Good pace, inventive, recommend."

"So I signed up to write my first review because I thought this book was worth it. It engaged me, and whilst it took me a fifth of the way thru to get there, the consistent imagery was for me immersive. Frankly reminded me of first reading George Alec" Read more of this review »

"Charlie just wants to do punk stuff (and Parker), but there are some bad guys out there, and so she's gonna have to trust some dodgy environmental anarchists and start believing in herself. Also, there is biohacking and lots of fun."

Ian Green and 17 other people liked Bradley's review of Extremophile:
Extremophile by Ian   Green
"This is a pretty good near-future cyberpunk/biopunk SF that revels in the music, the light anarchy, and the breaking out of the fascist pressures.

In other words, it's a fitting tale for us. Just throw a bunch of gene editing, rocker status, and some " Read more of this review »

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
