I studied biology and epigenetics for my Masters and PhD, and then worked in research publishing and science communication for a few years (whilst trying to publish my fantasy trilogy!). After I published my fantasy trilogy (2021-2023, starting with THE GAUNTLET AND THE FIST BENEATH) I wanted to explore science fiction and try my hand at a different genre. I felt my background in research set me well to write a 'hard' science fiction book, and so decided to focus on the biology element of cyberpunk (where the genre tends to be a little better at tech, and not so well grounded when it comes to the biology!).

My inspiration came from my worries about climate collapse and corporate overreach- I wanted to explore themes of hope in the face of overwhelming odds, and the nature of the communities we build around ourselves as we try to move forward. however, I wanted to do that in the context of a pulpy action-focused thriller!

I hope this helps- if you would like to ask any more questions, drop me an email at [email protected](less)

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
