Pay attention crew. I am delighted to announce that Space Captain Smith the audiobook is now available from Iambik audiobooks. Read by Mr Clive Catterall, who sounds like me if I sounded less confused and more impressive, it really is very good indeed. The audiobook is available at...

This weekend, assuming I can find the place, I will be at MCM Expo, a comics convention being held at the Excel exhibition hall, in London. I'll be on the steampunk table, and a couple of panels as well, on Saturday and Sunday (the 27th and 28th). If you're around do come and say hello!

So, Christmas has rolled round once again, the only time of the year when the words "Charles Dickens" and "good cheer" can realistically be used in the same sentence. As Tiny Tim fills himself with eggnog and Mr Chumblebumble roughly stuffs a goose, everyone gathers round the fire for a garbled...

For this week and this week only, Space Captain Smith is £2 on Kindle. Not bad, eh? (In fact it's £1.71, but £2 is catchier).

When I started reading this Sci Fi novel I took a while to get into it. I was expecting a heroic tale of daring do set in a future British Space Empire – a sort of Space 1899 type adventure. And in a way that is what I got. We have a future world where the nations have spread out into space and...

First off, eeee I have my own mini-forum! How good is that? I seem to have sneaked in among proper authors like Heinlein and Asimov (and what's more, I promise to post more regularly than they do). But what else will happen in this palace of glittering delights? Well, this is obviously quite...

I've no idea where this ought to go, but press releases seems right... Well, it's Christmas time in space as well as down here, so I've put a festive short story up on the Space Captain Smith website. Feel free to go and have a look, and if I don't get round to saying it closer to the time...

Well, it's actually been out a few weeks, but being a halfwit I forgot to mention it properly here: the sequel to Space Captain Smith and perhaps the only SF novel set on a planet devoted to the growing of tea... God Emperor of Didcot Tea–a beverage of refreshment, stimulation and, above all...
