Derek E. Pearson

Derek E Pearson lives on the London/Surrey borders where he spends most of his time at his keyboard imagineering new worlds or twisting existing worlds through the dark prism he uses instead of a brain.

His prolific work has been widely reviewed by prestigious media including Surrey Life and The Sun newspaper which rated his novel 'Soul's Asylum' with four stars for its 'originality and top writing'. Two of his novels, 'Soul's Asylum: Star Weaver' and 'GODS' Enemy' were finalists for Book of the Year in Chicago's IndieFab Awards in the science fiction and fantasy catagory.

To date Pearson has completed two science fiction trilogies for his Miller Carter character, the 'Body Holiday' series and the 'Soul's Asylum' novels. Carter is a sexy, feisty telepath at odds with the worst a dystopian future can throw at her.

He has also launched his Preacher Spindrift series with 'GODS' Enemy' and 'GODS' Fool'. He is currently working on 'GODS' Warrior', the third and perhaps last book in the series.

Spindrift is a fallen angel with attitude, an angel who was one of those 'husbands' who long-ago impregnated Earth's most evolved apes with alien seed from which we evolved, the Eden born. His adventures take him and his companions from 1883 Texas to the Flanders trenches of 1917. Warrior takes him to an ancient Chinese city, Lijiang, in 1918. He fights the Sha-aneer, a beast that pre-dates all other life on Earth, and devours the Eden born, body and soul.

Pearson's other works include 'Slave Skin' a standalone science fiction/fantasy story that the author describes as 'Narnia for adults' and boasts the line, 'Do all your right-angles turn left?'

'The Gathering of Gods: Anubis' is the first of the incredible Detective Prentiss series, set in present day New York. Supercharged and layered with myth and dark magic the Prentiss series introduces a new type of heroine to the fantasy genre. Black, beautiful and six-foot tall, Prentiss confronts the impossible information that ancient Egyptian gods have come to her city to judge wrongdoers and punish them in terrible ways. She also visits the city at the end of the world, eight billion years in the future.

'The Stone Gospel' is a ghost story set in a cathedral town in Sussex. The local planners have allowed a bypass to bisect an ancient ley line. Bad mistake, we look at what happens in modern Sussex and what befell a group of Romans who made the same mistake in 43AD. The Stone Gospel will be released very soon in 2018.

Finally, 'Pink Biscuit Zoo' is a charming illustrated tale for children about what happens when a little girl and her 'grandy' set out to make biscuits... of course it all ends in tears.
