His first published work, ‘Our Blue Orange�, was a light hearted Science Fiction story, which revolved around his fascination for automation, and in particular Artificial Intelligence. The novel took eight years to complete in his spare time, whilst working world-wide.

My two friends resuscitated me. I was violently sick. The trip home in a car. My mother putting me bed. Then nothing. My next memory was of being back at school. Somewhere, three days of my life were erased. I have no memory of them.
Alien abduction? I am joking of course, though am I? It would make a great plot, don't you think?

'Heaven Can Wait'

Good Afternoon,
Fellow Readers and Authors,

Well guess what? It’s Friday again, and the weekend has already started here in Dorset. As always, I hope all of you had a great week wherever you are in this world.

Last weekend with my son and grandson, and Sundays father’s day outing, had been truly wonderful. With a walk around a Sussex country park, followed by a nice lunch together, the weather certa Read more of this blog post »

“     Illicit flight Alfa Bravo Charlie quickly reached a predetermined altitude and stopped dead. The passengers on board screamed the way people do on fairground rides. The shuttle hesitated momentarily and then shot forward accelerating rapidly to reach a blistering 145,222 miles per hour. They were in a Mach 22 situation. The cries from on-board could not be heard from the ground. Neither did anyone in the great metropolis of Llar witness the bright blue vapour trail the craft left behind in its wake. It was after all overcast and raining heavily.”
A.R. Merrydew, Our Blue Orange

“With one hand disturbing a colony of parasitic life forms in his uncombed hair, he yawned loudly.
     ‘Morning Steve,â€� Thomas said scratching his grubby face. His breath drifted across the space between them making Steve’s nose twitch involuntarily.”
A.R. Merrydew, Our Blue Orange

“   ‘I knew it, I knew it, I damn well knew it,â€� he shouted. ‘The President was right you’re all infected with this wretched MeMe chromosome even at the dawn of your pathetic little planet’s evolution. You do realise of course there’s no hope for you. It’s all going to be a complete and utter waste of time. You and your little planet are all doomed.”
A.R. Merrydew, Our Blue Orange
