Mark Anthony Hall

Growing up in the era where the science fiction movie really took off, which saw the original Star Wars movies, E.T, Aliens, Close Encounters, and Back to the Future, it became impossible for me not to become inspired by what Hollywood was offering. My childhood was fun, always recreating and reimagining scenes from movies and TV shows; and can remember now, excitedly writing my own stories in my official ET merchandise booklet. I guess I have always been writing! I enjoyed a career in public relations and the British civil service, where I even leant my hand at speechwriting for government ministers. Realising I had talent in this area, instead of wasting it on government officials (ha-ha), I thought I could put this to good use by writing what I was really interested in - science fiction. I have managed to fulfill a dream of publishing my two novels - The Stereopsis Effect and The Epsilon Syndrome - and they always remind me of the hard work and dedication that is needed to bring something like this to fruition. I can tell you that it is rewarding and fulfilling. I still live at home with my parents, to whom I care for, they always give me the inspiration and ideas to write a third book.

If you are reading this, and you have read one of my novels, do please spare five minutes to give a review. As you can see, I don't have many, and they are really helpful for up-and-coming writers like me to boost their morale, so as to write more books! The fact that I only have a few reviews shouldn't deter you from reading them. They are amazing novels and I am sure you will enjoy them. And even though they are science-fiction based, that sci-fi doesn't overwhelm the narrative, meaning there is something in there for everyone.

Wherever you are in the world, I wish you a long and happy life reading.
