About the Book

In 2001 I began to write short stories. My aim was to capture and then convey some innovative technological ideas which had been buzzing around in my head for several years. Once the stories were written I made additional steps to get the collection ready for publication by seeking feedback from friends and family. There were many suggestions for improvement in the style and descriptive writing and I have tried to respond to these suggestions. However my concern has been that such 'major surgery' might cover up the ideas and innovations which were my main purpose in producing this work.

Perhaps it is precisely the 'unpolished baldness' of these stories which allows the ideas to be received more effectively and a reduction in degree of sensory descriptions can free the reader from distractions and allow you to share my focus which is upon the ideas.

As I have developed as a writer, I have come to accept the value of character development and atmospheric writing when there is space within which to do it. Therefore I have begun to produce expanded versions of some these stories in a series of ten novels, the first of which I intend to release in the early part of next year.

About the Author

I live in Somerset, United Kingdom and began writing short stories in 2001 I particularly enjoy quality family time spent in this beautiful part of the world and this often features in my stories. I work in the training department of our regional electricity company and I also squeeze in ten hours of Clarinet & Saxophone lessons in the evenings as well as attending a writing group, a reading group and an informal bridge club.

My stories have been developed and refined following 'performance' and subsequent criticism during meetings of the writing group, although many other people and groups have also provided essential support and guidance.
