Hiya, I'm a fiction author and I live in Sydney, Australia. I guess my best-known work is the series featuring Vin Cooper, a special agent in the United States Air Force OSI.

I have published eleven novels, which most recently includes the seventh novel in the Cooper series, the highly controversial KINGDOM COME.

I've recently discovered the joys of Substack. Come and take a look at davidrollins@substack.com where I'm also serializing BLOOD & EMPIRE, the sequel to FIELD OF MARS. ...more

Thanks David. Glad to hear that there's a follow-up to Field of Mars in the pipeline. I will keep an eye out for it and I'll be waiting for Kingdom Come to hit the e-shelves in January. Still aiming for Jan 22nd, right?

David Rollins Yes, Charles, still looking good for January 22nd. Have a great Christmas.

It'll be good to have Vin back, David. I read the opening chapter on your website and enjoyed it immensely. Couple of quick (tangential) questions though; why did you decide to go with a fictionalised version the current White House incumbent rather than the real thing and will we be seeing further installments of Field of Mars in the near future (because I very much enjoyed the first volumes)?

In fact, I started writing the book with a completely different kind of character in the White House, but changed direction during the presidential race. The current guy, well, you couldn't make that sh*t up, right? I never thought someone like him could be the President, so my character stands on his shoulders.
FIELD OF MARS... Yes, in fact the second book in the series his 3/4 written. I put it to one side because, while it reviewed well, most of my Vin Cooper audience didn't go along for the ride and wanted to know when the next Cooper book was coming out. I'm told it's very difficult for an author to nip across to a completely different genre, and FoM proved them right - at least where I am concerned. Nevertheless, I will persist and the second book in the "Collision Series", titled BLOOD AND EMPIRE, will be released in some form or other hopefully around May. (less)

Some people have taken offence over the character of President Small, the US President in my book, KINGDOM COME. Are you one of them? If so, can you tell me why you find it offensive?
