Inception Point
Three spacecraft, 240 colonists, 25 trillion miles and a discovery that will change everything.
The start of the Astronomicon science fiction series, charting the human race's first faltering steps to another star. Chris Sergov, Commander of the Elysian, leads a colonisation mission to Proxima Centauri. After the landing goes badly wrong, the survivors must race to location their vital supplies and equipment that are scattered across the surface of the alien planet. They soon discover that the harsh conditions are not all that stand between them and survival. A chance discovery on their new home planet becomes the strongest evidence yet that mankind is not alone in the cosmos. Meanwhile, political changes happening back on Earth threaten to put an end to space exploration and the outer planets mining operations. Who will win in a standoff between the Jovian miners and Earth's military?

I was born in Stratford-upon-Avon (UK) in the early 70s. That’s the same town in which the great William Shakespeare was born, so maybe that bodes well? Due to my parents’ careers, I grew up in a variety of places around Worcestershire, completing my school education in the City of Worcester itself.
University took me to Cardiff, Wales, to study Computer Science. I’ve lived in Cardiff ever since, moving to several locations around the city. I’ve been married for two decades now, with three children, one of whom has now finished school. I feel old!
I’ve been writing creatively ever since school, writing my first (and now long lost) book in my late teens. Although my career path has never followed anything remotely like a literary theme, I’ve been writing as a hobby continuously. My career has been rooted in computers and related technology, from programming fruit machines to working as a web developer. So far, that has all proved to be useful life experience for writing fiction.
I have been developing the Astronomicon idea for over two decades now, creating a huge, detailed and well-thought-out (hopefully!) universe in which to base the series of science fiction novels. I would very much love to have the opportunity to work on this project full time, but even working in what little spare time I have available, I have completed five novels and am working on the sixth, seventh and eighth.
