I'm hoping this works. My book, The Enemy is Within! - A Harry Heron Adventure, has a new trailer developed by the publisher. Hopefully the link will take you to it!

I was (and still am) a huge fan of Wyndham. His scfi was well thought through, believable and grabbed you from the start. I confess that my favourite was his, "The Trouble with Lichen," but "The Kraken Wakes" and "Chrysalids" were excellent as well. An agent recently told me that there isn't a...

Just picked up a review of my latest Harry Heron, On the Run, on Blog Critics. The review is a very positive one and can be found here. The book is available in eBook, paperback and hard back and links to all the suppliers can be found here.

Hilarious. Very cleverly done, takes a special kind of lady to date Darth I should think ...

The story begins in 1801, when twelve year old Harry Nelson-Heron becomes a Midshipman aboard the 74 gun HMS Spartan. 400 years in his future his twelve times great nephew is a Captain in the North European Confederate Fleet, working up the new starship NECS Vanguard ... Their lives are linked...

Hi Scott, a friend of a friend living in New Zealand recently discovered that someone had lifted his poems from a website and had them published under their own name via Lulu. Its the subject of a court case now. Check someone hasn't done this with your work!

Thanks for reminding me I intended to get a copy of this. Humanity is still evolving as you say. We are quite different from even our forebears from 200 years ago and a lot different from those a 1,000 years ago. The shrinking brain observations though are still debated as there is some...

ON the RUN is available on Amazon and from Barnes and Noble - also through the local bookstore if preferred ... The short trailer is on YouTube Any feedback will be much appreciated!

Hi Leon, An object that large coming that close would hit us, probably resulting in mutual destruction. Large objects develop some interesting interactions, and planetary bodies tug and pull one another. I suggest you do a search for information on gravitational interactons between bodies...

Try my Harry Heron series ... Their Lordships Request ... Out of Time The Enemy is Within! and the latest On the Run

My latest book, the fourth in the Harry Heron series has been released today by Abbott Press - ON THE RUN Take three young men from a ship-of-the-line in 1804, thrust them four hundred years into the future, give them some high-tech implants and a dash of illegal gene splicing, and you...

Yes - and no. Some are now routinely going this route, others require a bit of prodding, or, as I have done, you shop around until you find an e-Publisher for your work. I don't think the paper book is dead, it will retain a place I think, but more and more people find an e-reader more...

You could try Babylon 5, there are funerals in it for Minbari, several other alien cultures and a humanist style sending loads of self propelled coffins onto a trajectory that will carry them into the local star. They are spread out throughout the series though, so they may take some finding.

Great news folks, my Harry Heron books are in or going into e-formats for Kindle, iPad and Adobe. You can the first two at: http://46s.biz/ViewBook.asp?Code=PC001 Out of Time will soon be joined by the prequel, Their Lordships Request ... The third, The Enemy is Within! is available in...

Personally I would try for Mars or Europa. On Mars the effort would have to be focused under domes as the magnetosphere is too weak to shield the radiation and retain much of an atmosphere. It is also very cold because of the thin atmosphere. By utilising a combination of below ground and...

OK, so this one is a real mix of genre's - naval history and scifi. My latest book is called Their Lordships Request it can be found on Amazon.com. The story traces the converging lives of Harry Nelson Heron, a Midshipman in 1802 and his twelve times great nephew Captain James Heron, commander...

As has already been said here, "Transporters" have a number of major technical problems - like converting a physical human being into a form of energy, beaming it to a receiver, and then rebuilding it with all the bots in exactly the right place. Even our own DNA gets rewritten - badly - as we...

Yes, but it ill be about four to six weeks before they put it up. I'd appreciate your comments on it when you do read it!

My second novel is being relaunched by a new publisher who has gone to a lot of trouble to get it right. http://www.xlibrispublishing.co.uk/bookstore/bookdisplay.aspx?bookid=300925 Now for the really good news - it is available as an e-book as well as in hardback and paperback. I hope some of...

Wolfrunner, this may be off topic, but I have often wondered at this assertion, usually directed at Christianity, that people thought the world was flat. This seems to be based on the 18th and 19th Century misrepresentation of artefacts such as the Mappa Mundi which were 'Spiritual...
