About the author

Russell Kightley has been writing sci-fi stories since 2014. His books are philosophical science fiction with a slice of satire and a twist of time travel. Often, they explore the nature of consciousness and reality. That sounds heavy, but they’re written in a light and easy style, often with wordplay. The short story collections, Café Street and Global Replace are a great way to sample them. Books available at all major retailers.
