Looking back to 2014, I still remember the relief and elation at being able to complete and publish Elite Out of the Darkness. The gratitude to my backers, all those at Frontier Developments (a special mention must go to Michael Brookes, who has sadly passed away), and the writers, proof-readers, editors etc that got me […]

  When at work or in any social situation with women — to avoid upsetting them, accusations of misogyny and potential arrest — men should always do the following: Stare at the ceiling.

Miracles do happen: I finally managed to get to a showing of Star Wars: The Force Awakens without being exposed to any major spoilers , despite my young son having watched the film before Christmas. What I’d seen were articles online claiming the film was a social justice/’progressive’/diversity/feminist tour-de-Force Awakening and avoided reading every one. […]

Over the last few years women’s pay in the workplace compared to that of men has been cited as typically only 77¢ for every man’s dollar. There exists a small minority who have cast doubt on the accuracy of this figure, objecting to the statistical methods used to arrive at it. As a number that […]
