Hi. I write science fiction fantasy stories. My First Gods series is the story of the first technological race in the early universe and the problems they had that required the formation of the Guild - an organisation that manages and strictly regulates interstellar and intergalactic travel.

Science fiction fantasy is a bit of both science fiction and fantasy. The laws of physics still apply but may be tweaked (in my case it's instantaneous space travel and time travel) and there's advanced technology (which may include biotechnology).

I have a Masters degree in Theoretical Physics and Applied Mathematics and I spent many years working in software design and creation. Both of those skills are handy when my stories are about science and about artificial intelligence. I have an interest in understanding consciousness (no one does, yet) and especially what this means for Artificial General Intelligence. All my stories have an AI (or more) in there somewhere.

I have two adult children and devote too much of my time to strenuous physical activities such as: strength training, running, swimming, as well as ocean water sports – wing foiling, SUP, and surfing. But the active time is a great counterbalance to the hours spent staring at a screen making up stories.
