A year ago today (Sept 1st) I published my debut scifi novel, GENEFIRE. So today, I thought it would be good to reflect on the last year, and see where this has led me. One step further than I had ever been before 🧵

If you were running a themed food truck at @Glasgowin2024 ... What would you call it? My best effort so far, Battlestar GalacTacos.

'Among the Space Opera Science Fiction books I’ve recently reviewed, The Pollutant Speaks stands out as a masterwork at capturing the spirit of “Opera” in the genre.' The Reading Life Ah shucks. 😊🚀🚀🚀 mybook.to/thepollutantspeaks #spaceopera #sff #sciencefiction #review

Someone pointed out to me today that if you take Evans #mental problems as seriously delusional... He could be the bad guy of The Pollutant Speaks. I mean the reader is always right. Right? Aren't they? #sf #reviews #reading mybook.to/thepollutantspeaks
