He spent a significant part of his early life in various parts of the world, including the Far East, Middle East, the South Atlantic, and West Africa. Later life has seen him venture to the USA, New Zealand, Europe, and Ireland. He began writing while still at school, where he was president of the Debating Society and won the Robb Trophy for public speaking. He combined his writing with his technical skills as a professional Technical Author and later as an internal communications specialist.

I started writing Book 4 towards the end of January this year (2020), so it'll only be around 3 months work in progress come the end of April. Even if the first draft were to be finished today (which it certainly won't be!) there's the unknown quantity of the editing team's time to factor in. Given that everyone involved in the production process is spread across two continents and all of us under covid restrictions, I'm not even going to guess at when Book 4 will be available (though personally I'd hope for a summer release).
The wordcount for Bk4 currently stands at a shade under 150k and there's still some considerable way to go! (Could be worse though. I understand GRR Martin fans had to wait between 2 and 6 years for books in his series to come out).(less)
G.J. Kelly Thanks Peta! I hope you enjoy the rest of the series, and the follow-on, "The Shi'ell". After that there's The Six Concentrics, which'll be completed …moreThanks Peta!

Absolutely my favorite of the series so far. The drawn out tension of the final battle in this book was very well done. I feel like we got to know Yarmian much better in this book, and his character has certainly taken a" Read more of this review »
