I Play guitar, am also qualified as an electrical engineer, and I do paving, gardening, repairs to mantle clocks and paint watercolours for books.Drive Coil (short story) 2014, came to be written after I was playing with audio book recording of a story about an android. I was using the computer narrator to play the part of the android, and started to create the character Ness and her spaceship PersephoneMy second book, Space Drop, is set chronologically as a direct follow-on tale of Drive Coil, and has more character development. The Miner is my third book, also a short story, inspired by my 8yo son and his imagination. Read it and you'll understand why.Please review my books when you finish them. I enjoy reading the feedback.
